GTX35 is an awesome turbo but it only belongs on an RB25 with 2bar of boost

^^ This, otherwise you went too large on your turbo.

It's capable of 430kw at least, hanging off a factory manifold with a gutfull of ethanol...

Yes there is either a problem with the wastegate or the rear houseing is not a good match for the turbo. Not worried about it for now bit over it gor now. Was advised by so called people on here to go with .82 rear. Wishing I stuck to my guns and put a .63 on it. Leaving it like this till I bolt my forged 3lt bottom end together. I agreed it should be making more power. Will be changing tuners thats for sure.

^^^ Told him to stick with the GTX3071R but didn't listen!

Picked up the GTX35R for a good price so couldn't turn it down.

Told him not to go .63 he DID listen but still insists on using the .63 even after the entire internets has agreed with me lol.

The 3071 woulda smacked that all over ball park mate and it'd be on song 2000+rpm earlier! :(

Lead a horse to water......

Only grabbed the 35 as im building a 30 bottom end. Otherwise yes would of stayed with the 3071. The 35r should be able to make full boost by 45 to 4700rpm. That I could live with on a 25 bottom end. This is just ridiculous at 6000rpm. Something is not right.Currently doing investigation to find out why. First thing I'm looking at is the wastegate then I will be having the turbo inspected to see if any problems with it. There is no gas leaks I can see or hear.

Thats a low 9 sec turbo on e85 in a lc with a 3.0bottom and auto

with a bigger housing.

dont blame the tuner..its highly obvious that your problems are elsewhere... The tuners job is to tune what comes in..its the person who put it togethers problem.

If its auto then id take a gtx3582 over a gtx3071 anyday

people have to remember it aint in a manual r33/34...

massive difference..

cheers

Found the problem. Roll pin in v band had partly fallen out. This alooud an exhaust leak in an area where it was unable to find. Bugger. Now when I fix it I will need a retune. Just hoing to fit a screamer pipe instead of plumb back as I think this might be part of the problem too putting extra presure on the clamp.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
