Hey guys and girls I just got a 3037 pro s on my rb25 with all the other bolt on's included, just wondering if anyone else runs this turbo and what kind on power they make. My internals have also been done. (pistons,rods etc etc.)

is the 3037 pro s straight bolt on....?

is there any difference between the externaly gated and the pro s (internally) in terms on ps rating, also what other mods did steve do to his rb25 to make 320rwkw and was it on pump fuel?? if so im looking very forward to my dyno run in a few weeks. if pos could you get me all the mods that steve did to his rb25 so i can compare it with mine, that would be great if you could. did he have stanard internals or forged ect ect. It was in a r33 i figure i've done the conversion into my r32, counting down the days untill its back on the road, lost my lisence for 12 months only got two and a half to go given me plenty of time to go sick on my beast.

Steve dropped the comp ratio to around 8.6:1 via a thicker head gasket and had a set of cams. He also stepped up to the .87 turbine housing as the .69 was too small and had power coming on too hard.

With the smaller turbine housing it made 250rwkw I think it was on 15psi. I remember he said it was fun but dangerous squeezing the throttle in fourth at 100km/h and having the car lane change by its self. :mellow:

I remember he used 22psi or there abouts, he had issues with not making the power it should have made, it came down to the exhaust was no good.

Do a search the thread should be lingering somewhere.

hehehe I am scared now.

I have a R33 Series II 96', and I just got a GT30 with a VG30 ass end on it (which is a .63)

so yeah... maybe I should sell it before I wrap it around a tree?

What ECU was he running?

oh, and my car just got compression tested - 169 accross all cylinders.. So the motor will be in pristine condition for this nice big turbo...

is there any difference between

Both turbos are rated for 480ps and could possibly produce simliar numbers but you would tend to think the internal gated turbo would be restricted by the flow of the tiny wastegate (compared to the bigger external gate). Response and the delivery of the power would be the biggest difference between the 2, plus the extra flow of the external gate, would make the 3037S be the more popular in my mind.

Its a HKS turbo where its had the 45MM internal gate designed for the purpose. It will be fine, the reason people step up to external gate with larger turbos is because the 'usual' internal gates cannot pass enough exhaust gas causeing boost creep. Boost creep where you cannot keep boost down, it keeps building. You often see this with a bad highflow.

Thanks on the info mate im runing same cams and same ecu, do ya think the g-ready plenum will make much difference? I cant belive that he was sqweezing the throtle in 4rth and it steped out thats fu#@en hardcore. which turbo housing would have mine come with do you know???

Ans also what exaust was he running that was no good because im just about to change mine because in having similar problems. What one did he put on.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
