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.

      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?
