Hi Im currently building a rb25/30 and pretty much at the stage where I need to think hard about turbo choice The botton end is forged spool rods, cps,.. Id like a fast street car but a daily aswell looking for 400hp maybe abit more but want to stay on pump fuel Will the gt3582r turbo be a good choice cheers for any professional info.

I put a 3582R on my RB30 Stagea but used .63 rear for max take off (heavy wagon) but would have preferred a .82 for a little more grunt on the track. Today I would use a modern turbo. Unusually a Wellington workshop did a back to back comparison on the same car (Skyline with RB30) and got the following results:

.63 rear at 18 psi = 350kw

.82 rear at 18 psi 375kw

I would suggest the .82 for you as it would be easy to get 400kw out of it and for a street car would drive better than with a 1.00 rear.

PS just noticed you only want 400hp not kw. You will do that with a GT3076 easily.

Thanks for the reply and your comments. What rev range will the gt3582r start spooling

This is with the .63 rear on my car -with VCT, Link ECU, mac valve, 50mm Synapse wastegate, Sinco manifold :

i have a borg warner s300sx with a .91 twin scroll housing on my rb25/30, and am getting a bar at 3700ish rpm, it makes 500hp on 14psi on pump gas.
 
and cost less than 1k NZD landed

What website was that

this is the turbo i got, the exchange rate was good at the time

a 8375 s360

Did the physical bulk of this unit cause much packaging/fitment issues?

What manifold?  Pics would probably tell a lot for people contemplating the same unit.

Nah it's not too bad, I am running a sinco twin scroll manifold for a rb30, they make the collector lower for the 30.

A walk around of my setup.

 

i tried to add a pic, but for some reason its not loading :/

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
