Thanks disco, that catalogue is great.

One question, I was looking at now getting the GT35R instead of the GT30R, but the catalogue for the GT35R lists displacement of 3L-4L. Does that mean the GT35R will be too big for my RB25DET?

Difficult to say , depends on the power curve you want and what you use the car for .

First off you need to choose an exhaust manifold and style of wastegate as this will dictate mounting flange size and integral/external gate .

If you used a GT30R in large turbine housing form (1.06ARR) its fair to say it'll have a bit more response than its larger brother . You also have a .82 housing to come back to if its boost threshold is a little high .

The GT35R is getting a bit more serious but if its airflow is what you need use it . I would start with the .82 exhaust housing if you do this , there is a .63 housing for it but the penalty for waking it up too early is compressor surge .

I've not had time to research it but I think there are a couple of different trims for the 82mm GT40 compressor , the GT35R uses the largest 56 trim size . The HKS version of the GT3040 uses a 50 trim version of it and the BA XR6's GT3540 I'm not sure . The last one uses a .50 ARR T04E compressor cover with the smallest diametre snout on it which I'm not sure a 56 trim would fit in . If anyone has one of these XR6T turbos could you tell me the diametre of its inlet in mm so I can work out the approximate trim size .

A small trim compressor GT35R would come on a little earlier and still not be short of breath at the top end again depending on what its used for .

Cheers A .

Thanks disco...

I dont want something that will hit with a bang too early and light it up all over the place. More of a strong surge that keeps you pushed back in the seats with a huge grin.

Maybe I will have to go down to the GT30R. Dont want to be waiting all day for the thing to come on boost. I have read on some threads that cams can bring boost on earlier. I have HKS 256 on INT and 264 EXH ready to put in at the same time. Would this help to boost the 35R a bit sooner?

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
