Read this thread - ultimate RB "pull hard" setup, make numbers in the range of GT35R peak power but spooling similar to the smaller GT30 range turbos:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/426059-forced-performance-hta-turbos/

+1 for lithiums post. HTA turbos are weapons and will give you the best of both worlds. Will give you 400rwkw and the same response as a gt3076.

You'd be mad not to have a look basically

I disagree with both these clowns :ph34r:

LOL kidden, HTA or GTFO!

Was just trying to be helpful, was Garrett based and a lot of people don't know there is a bigger world than Garrett who have been all but left in the dust. But point noted, I have meant to have given up on trying to be "helpful" on these forums - just got a brief burst of enthusiasm for this place after finally actually meeting some SAUers... as you were :action-smiley-069:

Left in the dust is a little excessive, I love my GTX and the results are excellent imo. Keep your HTA fanboi speeches for the impressionable boys in the FP thread. Considering you all talk about them continuously I would find it hard to believe someone hasn't heard of FP, Precision or BW for that matter.

I think Garrett is still king of reliability in most peoples minds... for good reason. If that means they are a little slower in their design rollouts and test their turbo's for longer, I am all for it. I have a Precision 6766 on the bench at the moment, not sure I like how thin the compressor blades are. Hopefully they haven't gone too light weight just to beat the competition...

No need to sook about being 'helpful on these forums', everyone else is here for the same reason. If you don't like people having opinions that differ to yours, better stay off the interwebz.

Hi all

I read some comments here and it looks like people prefer GT30 for around 290-320rwkw power. GT30 will come on boost harder in the mid range. It looks like a more efficient option on paper.

One thing I don't understand is why would someone want harder pull in the mid range when it will create more problems with traction unless are on 3rd gear. I have rb25 with GT35 312rwkw and I have problems with traction on 2nd with 265s and shimmed diff. I've driven similar car but with a smaller turbo and it had even less traction.

Correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm new to this. If I floor it at ~3000rpm it will pull hard almost instantly and easily break the traction on a smaller GT30 turbo compared to GT35 which pulls from ~4500+ but has smoother transition from no boost to full boost.

I have read many threads about this but not many people are looking at it from this angle

Cheers

You'll find your traction control switch at the end of your right leg; when traction starts to break, lift right leg slightly.

Also on most good ECU's you can do boost by gear and just have less boost in 1st and 2nd.

No reason you can't just lift off slightly though...

Maybe of interest, I found this helped with controlling boost on my car:

http://www.gktech.com/index.php/v2-s14a-s15-eccentric-throttle-wheel.html

It will work fine on an RB25DET. The standard wheel opened the throttle quite a lot with little pedal movement, where as the GKTECH one is the opposite, ie a smooth logarithmic opening of the throttle, where 50% pedal may only be 30% throttle opening. (not sure about exact numbers)

Its good for peaky responsive turbos.

the best action ive had was with a GTX3076, 4000rpm's = Hammer time, 1st and 2nd at WOT =Black lines layed for 50meters which is f#$k yeah feeling.. 3rd= hold on

If you can do this then you know you got a wild ride, the rest is up to you and the tyres, suspension and right foot control, but personally this has set the bar for me... and now disappointed with anything less :(

Go with the Gt35. They are the bomb diggity.

They also have plastic cage bearings afaik, where as the GTX has steel cage. Hence the reason the old diesel designed GT35's have a higher failure rate. It's one of the Garrett turbos I wouldn't recommend.

Go with the GTX3076 imo for a similar power figure and quicker spool.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
