Sly33,

Grepin has had problems trying to push more than ~16psi in the top end through his 2835ProS as it tails off. :)

yeah he's told me, possibly because of the cams. So far i havent tried anything more than 17psi, which it holds right to redline. Even if it drops off once the cams go in, you can still run more boost through the rest of the range and get more power/torque.

At the end of the day though the 2835ProS is an awesome little piece of kit!

19psi!? i dont think so! the 266rwkw is made at just 16.5psi.  I want to wind it up to about 18 maybe 19 once the cams go in.

That sexy dump is none other than a genuine HKS one!

Sorry 'bout that - my mistake!

From what I remember he's always had the 2835ProS dropping boost even with the stock sticks. He slapped the big sticks in still drops boost the same but obviously more air is flowing.

I remember he said the wastegate is being blown open as if you hold it shut manually it will make the boost and power repectively.

Maybe its a dump pipe design issue with his, I can't remember what dump he was running.

I see in the catalogue that if you buy the turbo by itself it comes with the option of 0.68 or 0.87 A/R housings.

http://www.nengun.com/catalogue/product/554

I've contacted both companies and they say that it can only come in kit form with the 0.68 A/R housing.

Maybe that's his problem - maybe he's got the turbo with the smaller housing?

I'm not sure what to do now - I don't want to buy a kit with the smaller housing if it won't perform...

Im sure you can fit the GT30R. Doesnt this bolt up? If not, you would only need the place a spacer bt the manifold flange and the turbo to offset the turbo from the manifold. I got my turbo for less than 2k, and it isnt a laggy turbo for the RB25. Think of what you want because the little drivability gain you will gain from the turbo you are looking at maynot be worth it when you can save money with the GT30, still have a responsive package for your aim assumming an aim of 250-300rwkW. I have the GT30 on my 2L, it hits full boost at 4krpm. I know of someone with the same turbo on his RB25 and he makes full boost at 3.5krpm.

i have lots of ppl asking me "What A/R did you get?"

***Edit*** now im confused myself.. i thought i had the same turbo as grepin with the 0.8x A/R but it seems greenline where i got it from only sell a 0.68 A/R version. The USA HKS site also lists TWO int gate versions, and i was under the impression that only one size A/R was available in internal gate, and that it was 0.8x A/R.

..So if you get the comprehensive kit that i got from greenline, just order it and it will all be sweet, there is nothing to choose :(

Also getting lots of PMs about what comes in the greenline kit. EVERYTHING comes in the kit. (F-con mini is no longer part of the kit -you dont want it anyway.)

cheers.

Red Drifter,

The RB20DET will always struggle to make the power you want on less than 18psi. The valves and ports are too small, drop a set of lumpy sticks in to it and you will then have half a chance, stock.. I seriously do not think it can be done. :)

also...

HKS only offer two size exhaust a/r's.

.68 and .87

Possibly their a/r's are 'slightly' larger than the garrett units due to a power porting or similiar method of increasing flow/efficiency.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).

      Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
