Hey guys

My setup basically is a forged bottom end rb25det, only thing standard is the head (no porting) . I have aftermarket springs and 268 cams.

Have a plazmaman ffp, 6boost high mount with a proboost gtx3582 with a .82 strapped on ( same spec as garrett) .1200cc injectors and dual walbro 460 pumps.

Now when it comes to tuning most tuners reckon my current power level (415rwkw) is near the point the turbo maxes out. Is there truth comparison wise to other people using these turbos.

My aim was roughly the high 400 mark but after hearing I may need a turbo upgrade I've decided to bump the power I'm going for.

How would a borgwarner s366 and s369mm spool up on a 2.5? Or even a gt42 ? I don't care if the car comes on full song around 5ish k.

Can confirm it's not maxxed out on the turbo side at least. I have about the same power on a .82 through an Auto at 23psi. Some people will run 35psi and make well over 500 with them so I doubt the turbo is the restricting factor here if you're willing to lean on it.

1.06 probably will help, depending on the rest of the setup will kind of determine how much you can get out of the turbo, but the turbo itself probably doesn't need to be changed but something bigger may bandaid the problem.

The borg warners are good stuff, and better in many areas but it appears that as far as Garretts go, the GTX3582 is the 'good' one of the range and holds its own compared to alternatives with Precision and BW. For high 400's then man you have the right turbo already on the car.

Thanks for the reply guys.

Yeh that's what I was thinking. I done my research when it came to getting the turbo but now come tune time the tuners are throwing doubts in my head.

Restriction exhaust flow wise it's basically a 3inch dump to a straight through 3.5 exhaust

I was thinking of going the 1.06 but that will probably make it lag as much as a bigger turbo itself with a matched housing.

bigger compressor will lag more, is your setup twin scroll?

If you're making that kind of power and want more with the larger rear housing.. probably best to dump both gates into the atmosphere and run the 3.5" exhaust.. if not, time for a 4" system.

i will bet the last line you posted is correct aswell...those 1.06 housings are good for killing backpressure in bigger motors, like 4.0 barras.

the turbine hardly flows any more on a 3.0 with one..and the lag sacrifice is ridicilous..fine if your auto..manual not so much

cheers

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
