Im looking at purchasing a car that has a Garrett GT35R on an RB25DET (also has larger injectors, bigger fuel pump, different reg, diferent ECU)

This a good or bad combination?

Why?

Anyone else running this?

Is it much more laggy than the stock setup?

Thanks :)

All i gotta say is DO NOT get the 1.06 exhaust housing if you want to keep your car streetable.

I agree...dont go as big as the 1.06 exh housing. I have the .82 exh housing and have full boost by about 4500rpm (with cams)

It is a great turbo that comes on with a hell of a rush :)

With other supporting mods like ecu, bigger injectors, fuel pump, FPR etc I have no bad comments on it.

You could go the .63 exh housing for faster spooling...

Cheers

Thanks, but I was not really just after dyno figures.

Well if you looked... you will see its clearly nothing like stock.

How can a 600/700hp turbo behave even remotely like a stock setup.

What is the purpose of the car?

What is your budget?

What power/response are you after?

Sorry, maybe my opening post was badly written.

Ive edited it to make it a bit clearer.

Im not looking at actually doing this to my car, the car Im looking at purchasing already has this done to it.

I was just after opinions from people who had a similar setup and if they thougth it was good or bad (and why).

Hope that makes sense :thumbsup:

Ah... thats a bit different then.

But still, what do YOU wanna do with the car?

Drag work? Track work? Street?

Street.

I will make up my own mind on driveability and such after I have had a drive in it, as doubtless we all have our own preferences here.

But so far Im getting the impression its not a bad combination, as long as the housing isant too big. (but again, that would be somthing that would come out during a test drive I spose).

Hype do you find your car still streetable? Just wondering how much power you are making and have you run your car down the 1/4? Cheers.

Yeah it is streetable...will light the 265's up in second just on acceleration which is a lot of fun. I am very wary about corners though...as hitting boost on a corner might be dangerous until I get used to it :thumbsup:

its putting down 306rwkw but haven't had a chance to run a 1/4. Only got to drive the car for 6 days after the mods installed before leaving back to London for another 4 months...so when I get back will be able to drive it a lot more. :D

For the street it's not a bad combination at all in my experience (short at 6 days so far but I love it) :thumbsup:

Power comes on very strong on boost and is an absolute blast to drive. Do you know what exhaust housing the car you are looking at has?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.

      As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers.

      Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
