Hi all

i have a stock rb25 neo for road use. I'm considering my turbo options, current spec is gtr 570cc injectors, hks 2530, power fc, intercooler and the usual bolt on stuff

ive had plenty of skylines and silvias but never had anything top mounted so I think it's time

i have not got massive power figures on my agenda, but response and solid boost while not pushing the neo to hard. I've narrowed it to the gen2 5558 precision or the gtx3076 gen2, any opinions ?

i will either use 6 boost, sinco or a CRG manifold, v band likely

and need advice on a wastegate too, is 40mm enough? It will run 98ron and

I have a r35 gtr afm which I hope will cope ?

thanks 

I have a 7670 and personally reckon it's a big big for a stock 25. I have a 2.8 and wished it was a little more repsonsive, I don't think i'd be happy with it myself on a 2.5.

My vote is for a GTX3071, but if you demand specific power and only have access to 98, you may need to have some lag to get there.

I'd be looking at your setup, there is an issue somewhere. Your 7670 is "coming on" at the same time as my 8374 and I don't have VCT. (All on at 3500 rpm rolling it on in second).

A 7670 would be epic on a RB25.

R35 AFM might tap out unless you run it in a larger pipe say 3.5" or run it on the cold side before the TB. 

I did a S15 running a R35 AFM, although in a 3" pipe without any air straighteners installed and it was hitting 4.8V each time it came on boost for a car only making ~240kW.

I prefer the HPX version of the R35 card as it supports more air flow in the same pipe.

@bri73y runs an EFR7670 on an R33 GTS25t (still RB25) on 98 and from all I can tell he is pretty happy with it's performance, he shared this dyno plot (EFR7670 vs HTA3076 on pump gas) showing the 7670 making near 370rwkw and 200kw by 4000rpm

Mr Lith could you pass on the final results of that RB25 you knew of with the EFR 7064 , think it was T3 IWG on the standard exhaust manifold .

Sounded like it was really strong for something with number plates , and not exactly lacking round town .

I reckon this would be really nice on a street Neo powered Skyline .

We still haven't had a good dyno session with it thanks to boost control and ignition issues - I think we hit around 280kw @ hubs before ignition break down stopped our last session, however we've got it holding around 21psi on the road now and no misfire so hopefully when we next get on the dyno all will be well.

It builds boost VERY similarly to an HKS GT2535, but with the EFR "transient response" and more turbine flow - so more power per psi, it's pretty good for a >50lb/min turbo.

Check this thread above^^, and read in conjunction with Lithium's comments in this thread to your question.

IMO the short answer is "no".  You don't "need" split pulse to achieve your performance targets.  But if you have the budget, yes you should consider it - but stay IWG for the relative simplicity of install.

There's enough accumulated experience that suggests a properly executed EWG setup will be a performance improvement on an IWG.  Comment applies to single scroll and twin scroll.

I wouldn't discount the idea of a well designed manifold/gate setup, and a reasonably high spec single scroll turbo.

    • Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.
    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
