enough talk, overlay the dyno plots.... lets see which has more under the curve...

and not using some demo car thats been tweaked to get a curve.

Problem with that is it’s not always telling the true story.

Take Garrett -9 & -5

-5 being the larger, more power… However…

Loaded in 4th, they come on almost around the same RPM, about 200-300rpm different. However on the street, on/off throttle you can clearly tell there is a massive difference between the two and it is much more than 200-300rpm.

Trent is a very experienced and reputable tuner here, he's not going to modify his dyno for me getting happy results and this is not what I'm after either. There is no tweaked demo car, what mods has been put into it is clearly listed in my thread. Have a read through it, pretty much every one's getting similar or better end results and there are also few whom are working through their builds.

The SS1PU billet comp wheel FNT layout is also in my thread, its a good idea to read.

Im not saying the dyno is being happy for you or anything like that, but your setup has obviously been gone over so many times and rejigged to get consistency its better to see results from people who have chosen a turbo, installed it and got it tuned so thats its totally not biased and a real world example, like were not grabbing results from the HKS demo car are we imagine the argument we would have if we did...

no here is saying anything bad about HG turbos themselves... just laying out the differences between the choice in turbo selection and whats involved to get the setups right.

I have never rejiged the car for better result, I always rejiged the turbo for better result.

I specifically did not build a "demo" car for showing, I'm aware no one will get that sort of result with a every day car. My car's mods are basic and clearly listed, its just a healthy motor with stock head, cams, cam gears and manifolds, typical what most people has. Just Every thing working the way they should.

How ever diagnose what causes power lose is some thing that I'm in the process of sorting out, as every one runs different parts and have a mind of their own. Pretty much all customers whom have sorted their issues or followed my modification guide do end up getting similar end results.

Im not having a go at you or your product and I didnt mean it to sound that way at all...

but I did say 'rejigged to get consistency' not better results

whether you like it or not your car that you post up results from using your turbos is your demo car...

and we've all read how you've set it up to be a normal reliable skyline that any run of the mill owner may have, and I thinks thats great.

but I still prefer the HKS turbo, no if or buts, I like what it does and I dont mind paying for what it offers, and no one can put forward and figures or controversy to say Im wrong in my opinion....

Yeh because you're not.

The HKS 2835ProS is a great turbo, no doubt about it. It's horses for courses, as much as I would love a 2835, I simply can't afford one nor can I find one. So I went with the Hypergear. Simple as that.

I almost went for a hypergear as well...

so why is it that whenever a 'what turbo should I get for my rb25' comes up all the HG fans and mr HG himself come in and diss every other suggestion..???

I think the 2835 pro s looks great,

However price and hard to find.... Also have to change exhast, not that it's a big deal.

Am I wrong in thinking the atr43ss -2 is quite similar as the hks 2835 pro s?

But at the end of the day with either turbo I'm sure it will still go fair well :)

^^^^^^^^^^ this has been my point for months 75 (post 89), glad I'm not the only one who thinks it.

I do kind of feel sorry for Stao in a way, he has in no doubt done great things for the rb25 community, and he often feels as though he needs todefend his product. There is nothing "wrong" with his turbos, I just believe In Some instances you get what you pay for.

I have admitted before that we have paid an inflated price for the hks tag but in the scheme of things it's really not tha much compared to say a Garrett equivalent when you take into account all the extra bits and peices you need to get the car running with a new turbo setup.

If I was to go back and do the whole highflow thing again (which I wouldn't) I would still by a HG, but when you get to a point of chasing bigger numbers I think the hks does come out on top, it's the HG fanboys that seem to get the sh1ts with these types of comments but as ash said above there is sooooooo much more than a dyno graph.

Those of us that are fortunate enough to have been able to get our hands on the 2835 know all too well just how good the car drive with this turbo, VERY fast but still transient and not snappy, and great off boost. IMO and it is just my opinion I believe that is what makes for the perfect turbo, not just having 300 killerwasps and getting thrown back in your seat, you still want a degree of controllability.

any turbo you choose will be better than what you have, it all depends what you want and how particular you are with your choice.

and I actually scored a brand new 2835 ProS turbo for $1600 delivered....

I found the HKS intake pipe, for practically nothing (cant remember) and had a dump custom made for $250...

done... search, be patient and you will find...

I personally think its wrong to compare the hks and the HG turbos as they arent even remotely in the same price league!:whistling:

No doubt Mr HG offers great bang for ya buck its great to compare dynographs but is it like comparing an R35 to a Lamborgini????:blink: quote name='Irwin123' timestamp='1323337455' post='6144921']

I think the 2835 pro s looks great,

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for ?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for  >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate modern almost all cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.

      Wont start unless i have the pedal to the floor

      Let's be wary though, if cranking is so far off, what else isn't set right? Are the dead times set right, voltage compensation etc?   It definitely sounds like it's cranking fuel issues, and holding flat to the floor is shutting them down, but I'm with Duncan that if nothing was changed in the ECU at all, and then this started, I'd be more thinking a leaking injector.   Do as Duncan said, drop the oil and make sure it's not full of fuel.

      Yeah if the goal is to drive something then modifying a car is a bad idea.
