On Saturday we'll give things a nudge. Jez will get some time to get his head around it, see if we can get a bit more timing in at 4psi which I think we're missing. Pop the high range maf in, make sure that's scaled ok.

I want to run without the spacer, then chuck it in and actually see if it makes a difference. Then I've set a limit for myself that day at 6 psi. So will see what that nets with a safe tune. Have seen 9 psi make 300rwkw, and back it up with a 11.9 quarter on a G35, and still be on the safe side with torque. Wish the bugger would just send me his map!

I only run to 6600, the stock limit. I think you run a but higher yeah, like 7200 or something? I'll get something with the top of 4th and Kms n it.

The soft limit is set at 7300 I think and 7600 cut.

I have the option of selling my turbo and buying another, I'm just not sure if I want to yet. I really want to know what this one feels like with the 0.82 rear, but I could just drop a GTX3076 in there with little response lost and shoot higher. Cihan wouldn't be happy. I guess he thinks I have enough powers already.

Scotty, I'm sure you'd have a buyer for your 25 setup. In my opinion, the only way forward with big numbers is the 3.5 and something like a GT35 range. Simply my thoughts are we don't have the space for a big turbo set up- like the RBs run. I don't think you would gain anything by building a VQ25 bottom end- You'll run a bigger turbo and end up in lag land.

Build a 3.5, and run a good sized turbo on it, you won't need the high boost to make power, and it'll come on quicker.

That just leaves the old gearbox chestnut. Posts I've seen in the states said that the build RE box expires around 500whp. Thats a bit worrying. HOWEVER there is currently a FX35 (awd) being build by a shop that are going to try and put GT35 twins through a build RE. Very conservative estimate being 800hp. I guess there is always manual, but rwd isn't going to be fun, and awd looks like a headache- we'll see what dcdc does!

One of my mates is selling a GT3076 on fleabay ATM; shame it's a little small for what you're doing...

After a heated discussion with Cihan quite a few turbo options were on the table. We both concluded the GTX3076 is probably the turbo of choice for a comfortable 360kw or so, still with the 1.06 Tial rear. Hope I made the right choice...

The GTX3576 was the other option but I would have to buy a new .82 Tial GT35 rear housing, plus the turbo is more expensive. Cost wise I'm better off sticking with the GT30 rear. (for now. ;))

Think E85, and some real boost in it- you'd be deep into the 400s for sure. Just have to find a turbo to do it- would probably max a GT35 out.

I'm just trying to find some GT35r turbo numbers and sheets. Most big # set ups are twins.

Flying the 3.5 flag! :nyaanyaa:

GT35R if it fits.

lol he's already 1 thou away from hitting the firewall.

i wouldnt think its worth the effort and money for 30 kw more, when chances are he'll get about 20 more with the GTX3076. he'll probably end up doing the head gasket though lol.

as Cihan said. No more it will break

haha

yeh it did. but he ended up selling it. so you might see it around. and if you see it for sale. DONT BUY IT lol. thats all ill say.

tractors pretty good. reason why im talking scott into the 3076, is because im taking the GTX3071r of his.

i think its time i started putting the built sr20 to use.

i personaly think the 2.5 is a fine engine but it depends how much pwoer do you want? you got to look into a capable trans and suporting diffs, theres big bucks i think 350kw is probably the limit for the stags its very usable and not too much i dont think but everyone has their different opinion i spose

I would never say that the 25 isn't a good motor. It's a great bit of kit, but frustrated by the ecu. I wish mine was as strong as it!

It's just my thoughts that Scotty has pretty much got to the end of what's able to be done. Maybe it'll creap over 350 with a 3076, maybe it'll pop. Thing is, with a 3.5, you'll get more power easier, at lower boost levels, with less lag, and still very usable around town. Diffs will be fine. The front diff works in a r35, so we're not going to worry it. Main hold back is the gearbox, which if I was going to do properly, I'd get from the states from the place I mentioned earlier.

It's just my opinion, I might be jaded because I got one!

just like going to a rb30!

... and how exactly would he know this? Where has he seen the power limits of a VQ25det? I certainly haven't seen or read of one popping due to reaching it's limit.

jeez someones getting a little sensetive lol.

he doesnt know this, and yes i havnt read of one pooping after reaching its limits either, but i have also not seen or read about a VQ25DET running over 350kw at the wheels. have you?

and im pretty sure no tuner wants to 'pop' a customers car

The issue as I found out wasn't the motor, it was the turbo. He didn't want to push the compressor any further. If I change up he will be fine to push a bit more out of it.

Although he doesn't think the gearbox will last. lol.

    • For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.
    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
