just after some opinions, talking bout the factory ford FG XR6 turbo,

is it a good turbo? how much laggier than a gt3076 would it be?

yeah, a mates r33, you'd think boost response would be better than a GT3540?

Looking at that JEM graph in the link it looks to be slightly better... There are probably better options available, that is all i meant!

What do you want it to do? That turbo will get you a high maximum power reading on the dyno but may not perform as you would like on the street or track. I have a GT3540R on an RB30 and have a .63 rear on it which gives it great pickup at the cost of top end power. The same turbo on an RB25 would not be as good and something like a GT3076X could suit unless you are building a drag car.

well he had a 2876 which has blown, now wants the 250-300kw without massive lag, just looking at options with a reasonable budget in mind, theres no secondhand gt3076's for sale at moment but theres a few of these 3576's.

A 35r on the street is powerful but you will only have a 2, 000 to 3,000rpm useable power band. Honestly I think a 3076/ 3076x is perfect for power and response on the street. Big power figures with f all power band is overrated.

yer jem made it much better to drive better than the last tunner. its not that laggy ill have to make a vid with the camera on boost and rpm to try and show you.ive been in some laggy cars and this does not feel laggy i hade a mates gtr start to pull at around 5500 anything under that it was dead nothing like my set up full boost is about 4200rpm starts to build fast at about 3000rpm and all the way to 8200rpm 25psi drop to 22psi with a boost leak that has been a kuntess to find.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
