Yeh i thought to myself, what if i do all this research, bloody calculations, then fork out the dough for the parts and everything, finally get it on my car and its ghey, what a waste of time... and in the end when i tried to save money originally, i think id end up spending more.

At this moment, ive made a list of turbos that would be suitable for me.

HKS 2835 56Trim .73AR, or HKS 2835R PRo (internal wastegate)

Garrett GT30 56Trim

Trust TD06SH-20G.

Ill just have to do more research and find one cheap :( hehe

You can get a new HKS GT2835ProS landed in AUS for ~3k.

The GT2835Pro version is around $100 or so cheaper.

Makes you wonder if it is worth fiddling with an external gate for this application when the ProS version has been known to make 280rwkw on 1.6bar of boost.

This is from Nengun

What turbo core and compressor cover is freebagn using in a vvvvvvl exhaust?

from memory, he's running a GT3040 core with a garrett A/R .60 compressor housing and a sierra cosworth A/R .63 exhaust housing.

here's on for ya;

Im thinkin of gettin a TD06-19c, mattR had one and made 286rwkw on bp98 and 313rwkw with toulene.....

 

 Decisions decisions.

Correct me if im wrong, but MattR had the TD06, then sold it and had the HKS T04-R on a manifold with twin external gates, and a Sub Zero plenum which got him up to the 313?Rwkw

Very interesting though....I have noticed (in my short turbo career:D) that no one seems to get 300 rwkw or over with an internal gate?

Anyone care to show me an example otherwise? I know you can get the 3037 Pro S which is rated the same as the 3037s, if not a little more, but has anyone actually seen good results ie 300 + rwkw on an internal gate?

Sorry for the hijack Enrico, though it may help others....including me :)

I'd say the 3037ProS will crack 300rwkw rather easily on the grounds of the 2835ProS pulling 286rwkw.

A t3/4 type back yard turbo will always have problems with boost creep due to the gate being way to small, you can only make the gate so big before you run out of room. The back yard turbo is a trial and error way of doing things, the problem is a lot of turbo shops will say 'yer it will work' yet really you are a guineepig. (Sky30 and his RB30DET)

HKS internal gates on the other hand have been designed with a large flap (45mm from memory)

Trying to find how well the 3037ProS really works is a problem, no one has published their results.

Guess your gunna have to make yourself up a guineapig suit then eh Joel :) I never had any doubt the 3037 ProS wont make it over 300rwkw...just seems too good to be true. Still requires a new manifold for the 3037ProS? If it doesnt (by memory just needed a 10mm spacer plate to clear the block?) then you are up for a new manifold...

The only added cost then is the external gate. Unless you need to spend more on the 3037 ProS to get it to hold boost, ie stiffer springs, or a top of the line boost controller...?

Catch my drift ? :D

300rwkw on the std manifold is pushing it.. :cheers:

EBC's have no issues holding boost, they work hard but do the job.

Every one needs an EBC up at that power level anyhow.

It gets too hard pushing 300rwkw.

I some times think I will settle for 270rwkw.

Slap a turbo like freebaggins on it and be happy with the response and stocker look.

I may have to talk to sky30 to see how happy he really is with the larger laggier turbo over his initial 240rwkw setup.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
