And that's my point :yes:

No-one has really much info to back that up!

But then for the power/response i was making on my RB25 (GT30), im expecting my GT-SS set-up to eat it alive, just off the factory ECU it already feels more responsive, builds boost earlier etc etc... when i do i'll get a lay-over if my tuner still carries my old graphs, i dont expect it to look in the GT30's favour considering how much nicer the car is now without even a tune

Yeah I understand what you mean, and without proof I (or neither of us) can really debate it. I can tell you that my car (RB25 + GT30R) monsters any GTR I have driven for spool etc. I can't promise how much it is to do with vehicle weight however. I've never driven a GTR with GT-SS however, but they wouldn't make any more power than a GT30 would they?

i think the 30r will get you there no problems

ash, i dont think its fair to compare 25 and 26 setups. i believe my results on a 35r at the very least matches a mates 26 with 2530's for response, not to mention the single setup is a million times easier to work on

I am glad you said that - I have said similar before and been flamed for it. A mate of mine is making in the high 300kw @ wheels area with his R32 GTR running a .82a/r GT3582R and it feels better on the road than another mates GTR running twin GT2530s. The GT3582R car and the GT2530 are running the same boost, the GT3582R is faster down the 1/4 (trap speed and ET) and doesn't need to be basically bounced off a limiter/launch control to launch without bogging. It feels to me like a better setup, and its far tidier, easier and more impressive to look at haha.

GT-SS is same as a GT30 (both 600hp i believe)

And the GT-SS pull like factory turbos but just keep pulling and you can add another 8-10psi into em

Apart from throttle and plenum, 25/26 are much the same, capacity is a nothing issue really.

I dunno, i just cant see a GT30 on a 26 being leagues better than the 25 like i've felt going from 25/gt30 to 26/ss's... its that noticeable (feels so much stronger at 3000rpm where the 5/bt30 had nothing till 4) i dont think those small differences are whats doing it, least of all a stock ECU

I'm going to really have to go in a car with GT-SS, from what you're saying they spool better than the stock twins?!

comparing the response of a rb26 to a rb25 is about the same as a rb25 to a rb20

Well I can't imagine what an RB26 with a GT30R would be like if thats true (which I doubt)!!! My car seriously makes GTRs feel lazy down low, and nothing too special up high. A stock turbo R32/R33 GTR feels like they have nothing on mine anywhere in the rev range, in my opinion. Again weight comes into it, but the thing even at part throttle starts pushing nicely from 3000rpm - if you still have much throttle by 3500rpm then you're probably breaking a law if you are on a public road.

Well i have a GT3076r ... and producing 270rwkw @17 psi @3500rmp

still with standard manifold and plemum

Been thinking bout this turbo to replace my stockers (rb26), response would be excellent. Full boost @ 3800-3900 with the stockers. With 18psi it had 337hp atw. So better response, peak hp. Main reason is the simplicity as a lot of others have pointed out. Hate the clutterd stock setup, especially after having a 13bt with a basically empty engine bay & a 45min job to replace a turbo.

Quick question & sorry to hijack but how would you retain 02 sensors on a factory ecu?

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
