I'd say it'd be killer mid-range and up-top, really low down (ie, sub 3500rpm) will be where it'll be giving anything away to GT28 and trimmed GT30 turbines and the difference is not going to be in fail levels, by any stretch of the imagination.

that's what I meant by saying it will be easy to keep on song....

I think there will always be a call for the GTRS / 2835 style response in the hills though...

In terms of spool on the dyno it was never going to match exactly, even with the boost curve nailed - but within 500rpm, more likely. In terms of transient response it may be closer again, but having a full size GT30 turbine and larger a/r will always keep it a little less snappy at lower rpm. Once on the boil it'll be gravy :)

The overall performance will be interesting, however!

Lol i like that! :yes:

Haha don't take it to heart bro everyone has a crack at everyone on here lol. No big deal. Plazmaman is the way to go anyway. And after looking at my receipt my plazmaman throttle is 66mm the smallest. If someone ever buys my 2535 HKS I'll be putting on roys greddy t67 or a FP 3076.

Lol yep, i wasnt meaning anything by it :P

Oh and get a damn FP3076 so we can see some results haha

With the power potential the FP 3076 has i think any hill will be fun :P

cant wait to see the finished graph for it...

that thing on an RB27 would be the tits

That would be potent!

I'm sure if I prattle on about it enough someone will give in! :D I almost did it myself, and have half considered going back to the idea as I still have the car.

Well it worked with Bri73y but because of non-turbo related reasons he hasn't managed a full dyno session out of it so far, though from what I hear there may well be a result sometime this week :)

I really want a fairly responsive 350kw on e85. I could live with a little less. I'm just going through my options. HKS 3037s 48t FP 3076 And a gt/gtx3076. The HKS is only t25 though correct? Where do you live Joey Melbourne? I'd love to go for a ride in your car to feel a 2835 pro s.

You mean actual variable nozzle tech? If so, I love the innovation but there is no way I'd run or recommend one until they start showing any sign of realistic longevity - no doubt about performance gains, but even in OEM they just don't seem reliable.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
