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.

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
