Turbo Opinion

[moonus]

hey there people,

ive decided its time to move into my next stage of mods. ive done boost, pfc, fuel pump, intercooler, full exhuast.

now ive looked at 4 turbos: the a highflow, hks 2835, 3037, 3071 and 3040.

Im leaning towards the 2835 because after researching, this turbo seems to produce the greatest balance between peak power and reponsiveness. im also interested in the high flow seeing that a lot of people have had good results, but i think ill be a happy at 240 -250 rwks for a while and then want more. so maybe i think ill just settle on for a bolt on upgrade which will net 270-280rwks

I just need some opinions on anyone with any of these turbos. What peak power did u produce? what is midrange like? lag? when does it reach maximum boost?

i also think ill stay with low mount internal gate, but id just like to know if anybody could suggest why it mayb be better to choose external gate and the difficulties going down that route.

finally, ill also be pruchasing a set of 555 cc injectors and since im using pfc, im going get a z32 afm. Do i need a fuel pressure reg if i have the injectors? also is there anything else i need, such as a set of camgears (exhuast side)?

Thanks in advance

Anton

um....i would go something bigger than that and get a set of tomei poncams to make the desired 270-280rwkw and also probably a set of splitfires

Check in the RB25 turbo results thread, its a sticky in forced induction. Thats the best place to fine results for various combinations. (Most have dyno sheets so you get a really good idea of the power delivery)

I'm going to be aiming for that power level (250ish) also when my line arrives, and the turbo will be a sliding performance hiflow. My research suggests this is an awesome bang-for-your-buck turbo, plus it looks stock.
