Hey guys,

I've got a question.

Barring all monetary and budgetary restraints, what would be the ultimate turbo for the RB25DET.

Not for ultimate power, as we all know you could just strap a monster to the side of it and make power from 6500 - 8000 rpm.

I'm especially interested in you tuners points of view, STT and SK.

Highest average output, best spooling etc. etc.

Interested to see answers.

Bass, just comes down to how much power you want out of your engine... just look for the quickest spooling turbo which can get you the power your after. 3037's will get you nice power but is it worth sacrificing it for better response?? its up to you

Bass Junky, it might help if you were to give an approximate rwkw figure.

I would have thought 250-300 rwkw is enough, as I have not seen anyone with more than this get it down smoothly on a street car (but I may be wrong) IMHO over 300 rwkw is 4 wheel drive territory unless you are into lots of wheel spin and chewing up tyres.

I also realise that the shape of the power curve will allow cars with less power to light up, but a properly tuned (smooth and progressive power curve) motor with this sort of power should be drivable on the street.

Probably a nice low mount GT2540. Good response, minimal lag, and nice and stealthy low mounted. :)

You gotta be kidding, the 2540 is one mismatched comp/exhaust side turbo ever.

Bass

For an example at sandown on that sunday running around 255rwkw with my GT30 0.70 a/r comp 0.87 a/r exh i found that coming onto either the front or back straights at around 60 km/h in 3rd at around 3000rpm i had lag issues till i hit just over 4000rpm and came onto boost. If i took these 2 corners in 2nd instead i found that i would get wheel spin and axle tramp instead. I went for a ride in skylinegeoffs car before that and he could use 3rd coming onto those straights with his 'hydrid' turbo and come on boost straight away, but my car felt alot quicker on the straights.

Do you plan on joining the wang soon or just street driving?

I'm with B-Man.

The 2835ProS is an awesome turbo that is just right for the stocker internals.

Excellent response & average power.

To push upwards of 280rwkw od I would either do cams to lower bring the dynamic comp ratio to a safer limit or slap a thicker head gasket in there which effectively also lowers dynamic comp.

Obviously a set of injectors are on the cards.. But thats nothing a set of second hand GTR injectors + a resistor pack can't solve.

So... I would..

2835ProS

Nice FMIC & Exhaust

GTR injectors & Resistor Pack

Fuel pump

PowerFC

Z32 AFM

See how the power is then look at cams to make the motor a little safer and also increase the average power. :D

What do you guys think of the HKS GT-RS, for track use. Rated at 400ps , the hks GT2835 Pro S is rated at 420ps.

Seen it on nengun as a bolt on kit for the RB25det's

http://www.nengun.com/product_info.php?pro...4b067d1b19ad51a

So theres not much more difference between the gtrs and the 2530..And the 2535 is the turbo to go for for decent response excellent mid and good top end for rb25.

Spewing we will have to wait and see what croat can pull out of his hat.I was allready like this turbo is the one for me.What sort of price can the hks 2530 2535 etc be recoed back up for??

:)

With everything else in order, so you get the most out of the turbo in its efficiency range.. probably 2835 Pro or 30xx series

you should choose the best turbo for your intended/current setup, not the best turbo in general for rb25det

or something like that :)

hey peter that turbs doesnt look too bad!

Ide like to see some info on its actuall performance on rb20/5 sr20 etc

building a RB25DET with a TD06-25G, nice laggy turbo with good topend power, and a misfiring system to keep the turbo spooling while I'm off the throttle. The one that I've bought is a metal sleeve thingamajiggy (can't remember the name) so its not steel bearing or ceramic, and can withstand a lil bit more punishment than a standard turbo.

As a standard swap/upgrade for a R33 RB25DET i'd say get a 2530, but I dunno how they react to RB25DET Neo's.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
