Hi guys,

just wanted some recommendations on turbo sizing for application as im not quite sure which one to pick!

RB25.6 Forged motor, crg manifold should i go t3 or vband inlet? looking at gtx3076r .82 rear or 3582r .82 rear 

would the 3076 be to small for 580-600whp as im looking for the least amount of lag possible 

Cheers!

450 kw at the wheels is very ambitious for an RB25. You will need a massive turbo (neither of the ones you have suggested)  and it will be massively laggy. Have a look at the RB25 upgrade thread in the forced induction section  to see what others have done - and start at the end for some more modern ideas.

I’m running 450kw in a rb25 and it’s not really all about how big yo turbo is but more about how your cams are matched to your turbo.
To many people but a big arse snail on and wind the boost up and make no power, get a nice cam, 264/272 and it will help you make boost sooner and better

To put that post in perspective, what turbo are you running and when is full boost?

Was just about to ask the same...what turbo and have you got a dyno chart to show us?

Longer duration cams also doesn't magically "help you make boost sooner and better"
Cam duration actually changes the torque characteristics of the motor.

I would get a Sinco manifold over the CRG one and get a proper twin scroll manifold, with a proper twin scroll rear housing on your turbo.

Don’t mind I don’t no what I am talking about, I just have a car the proves what I said is right. Changing the duration of lift helps hugely with boost as you increase air flow and with cam gears can dial it in.
Go and wack a huge turbo on your 25 and tell us how it makes boost.

I’ll wait for your reply as it will take as long as for boost to load

That's a sweet result. That's alot of hesitation when it comes to cams, as you can always just run more boost to get more power, however the extra lift has to be better.

If you increased duration and left lift alone you would really only move the power higher I to the rev range, however adding lift brings more all round. Coupled with adjusting cam timing the results speak, but pretty much no one has changed just the cams for a clear back   to back comparison.

Your chart is very impressive!  I think its more down to the turbo than the cams. My engine just had the stock R33 cams and a Garrett 3540 but built boost a little more quickly than yours but from 4000 on yours just takes off. I suspect that with different cams you would make boost earlier  and you have power to burn at the top end.

(Full disclosure - mines on an RB30/25 with a Sinco manifold)

Have you taken it down the 1/4 mile? I would be very keen to see the trap speed

Not sure what's with your attitude but I've got a fairly large turbo on a 2.5L motor and I'm making 1.3bar at 4300rpm and 1bar at 4000rpm. Mind you these were runs in 2nd gear down a road, once I've got time to tune the car it will be coming on much earlier when it's loaded up in 4th gear on the dyno.

 

Also if you running a s2 25det your redline will be stuck at 7500 due to the hydro lifters, I got my plugged to increase redline to 8500.

1/4 mile times are only 12.6 but at 126mph, haven’t had much seat time work.

Before the car got built we did stick it on the dyno and loaded it up and it made 363wkw on the same 22psi.

Once you hit the about 500hp mark your gearbox and diff become a real problem. I’m 4 bigboxs and 3 diffs before I went nismo and ppg

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
