Greetings,

A few performance shops mention that the 3540 is one of the popular turbos alongside the GT25. I've done a search of the threads and there doesn't seem to be many people with this turbo in their rides.

At SDU, there's one guy who's had good results with it.

Just would like to see people's experience with this turbo.

Cheers

Yeah, GT35's are too big really for an RB25DET.

My GT30 is right on the limit for the RB25 IMO

But on an RB30et, DET... they perform extremely well.

Lots of VL's using them, have ~15+psi before 3500rpm and make 300-330rwkw fairly easily at reasonably low boost levels. And are running good times with them to boot

R31NIsmoid,

a GT35 is too big for a RB25? i don't think so.

i have a 600hp GT30 (A/R .63 exhaust) on my 2L cossie and it's great to drive with heaps of mid range punch, and not too mention great top end.

i guess it depends on what u want from the car.

if u want to push 300rwkw + comfortably and don't mind a little lagginess down low, then the GT35 is the go, otherwise if u want a very punchy street car with about 250-280rwkw, then the 600hp GT30 with an A/R .82 is the go for you.

    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos                                
    • After an excellent condition, working! oem radio for a 97 r33 And the steering wheel shroud/cover as mines a little bit scratched up Am in Melbourne
    • So my exhaust is loud and sounds awesome (good thing) but also is very loud when coming and going, dont want to piss off the neighours etc Are the varex adjustable mufflers any good? I contacted them but they dont make r33 specific exhausts Ive also see the adjustable inlets on this site but apparently they might restrict airflow too much which wouldnt be good for the engine. Would prefer something thats adjustable from in cabin so i can change it on the fly, dont really want to put in one of those permanent exhaust tip things.  Any other recommendations would be appreciated!
    • You don't need to lean as far to pour the oil in, or change the spark plugs either 😛
    • Indeed, it is much easier to get at the filter with the engine on a stand
