Tbf impressive numbers in stock location (even if clearly huge work has been done to replace EVERYTHING about the stock mount setup) but it "sounded" pretty damn laggy and when I tried to keep an eye on the tacho to get an impression of when it started lighting up I realised the tacho is not working 🤔

They said it's running 4.11 diffs, so assuming this was dyno'd in 5th gear this is the power curve vs rpm (in white)

Not convinced this is better delivery than a 6870 like Hawkins asserted, even if it does look like there may be a bit of effort to deliver a softer boost curve it still is clearly quite laggy

The Tomei ARMS turbos they started worth have never been great. The M7655 is terrible for lag compared to -7s or the GTIII-SS.

On the topic of the HKS GT III Turbo's....

What about GT75115_BB?

https://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/product/turbo/universal/index.html

Ive been having a look at this to replace my EFR9180 with. Theres a few cars that made 1250+hp with this on racegas:

Anyone run this yet?? Especially on a 3.0 or 3.2 Perhaps?? Super interested..

Look for results on Garrett G42-1450s, basically the same thing.

What is your target power etc?  Are you less worried about response now?

I am still after response, but I want to see what kind of a hit it will take.. I want to take my car over to Japan soon.

Isn't that a slightly modified rebranded G42-1450? The GTIII-SS as far as I can tell really is an MHI TD04HL somehow adapted to fit a compact 5 bolt RB26 application.

That HKS turbo (or a G42 1450) would give a massive hit to response but definitely a heap more headroom too. I guess you just got to decide how much "heaps more power" or keeping some degree of down low punch matter though I think that's come up before.   Realistically expect the ability to make 800+kw @ wheels but also 1000+rpm more lag too. 

@DVS JEZ Ran a G42 1200 on his RB30 (so size down turbo from what you are asking about on the size down engine) and that even made big numbers, but also paints a picture of how much later spool will be.  Realistically probably not terrible for the power when you factor in the stroker, but if you're picturing something that drives like the 9180 then it's going to be pretty disappointing.

Thanks lith. Wow thats hideous haha. under 150kw by 4 and 250 by 5. In comparison, I'm making 260 by 4, and 370 by 5.. and thats in 5th gear as well. From 4k the line is almost linear. Ive been looking at the 9280... Not sure if that will get me 4 digits either. 

I'm so addicted to the response that I dont really want to lose it.

Obviously. Trying to figure out how much of a hit it will have on my response.

I feel like you just need to soul search about how much what compromise matters to you.

Firstly, you're going to NEED ethanol for the kind of power you're talking about.

Next, how much does the absolute power figure matter to you?  There's a bit of a goldilocks type zone where you may not make 1000, or much over 1000hp but the car will be FAST and while not as punchy as the 9180, if you didn't think about or talk about the peak power figure then it's realistically (in my opinion) going to be a pretty epic all round road car.   I'm kindof thinking the Precision 6870/Xona Rotor XRE6869S area, maybe even the Xona XRE7169S.   They would both sacrifice some vs the 9180 but on the flipside they'll give you a reasonable step up in power while not quite fully committing to big turbo lag life. 

If you *really* want to walk past the 1000hp+ mark then realistically stop thinking too hard about the specifics of spool, its all going to be academic anyway.  You have a sequential, you have a big engine, its not going to be dead in the water like the old 2.6s would be at low rpm and once it's on "its on".   

The 72mm+ turbo combo on a 3.2 stroker is a pretty known quantity in terms of how usable they are, check out Andrew Hawkins driving videos with his G45 1450 on his RB32 GTR, or That Racing Channel when they put their Precision 7685 on their R32 GTR.  Ideally try and find someone with this kind of setup in real life as give or take - most 76mmish 1000+hp RB30 based builds are going to be "there or thereabouts".  Dyno plots aren't going to paint the picture anymore really at this point.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
