Nice - that should be pretty awesome! 6258 though? I'd have been pretty tempted to get a 6758 after spending that much, HKS GTRS are amazing on SR20s and the 6758 is still smaller so isn't exactly going to be laggy. PS: I saw your avatar etc previously and thought nothing of it as I frequent the HevyDevy forum and you get used to that, but this is SAU - AWESOME I have Deconstruction and Ghost preordered haha

DO IT! And let us know if you are coming

That post about drags reminds me of a car I tuned a couple of years ago. Ironically despite the fact that I am not a bit fan of R32s or RB20s its so far proven quicker than my owner car and is just an R32 with a stock RB20DET and R32 gearbox running a budget "T3/T4" turbo on stock manifolds, chinese intercooler, basic exhaust etc. The fact that its so fast is probably more attributed to the fact the owner is happy just to pump boost into it and thrash it till it breaks, and it does actually run on E30 - but still pretty impressive. The whole car could be rebuilt for 2/3rds of f'all and ran flat 12s at around 118-119mph with soft launches and shifts due to stock R32 axles and gearbox. Its possibly going to be racing again this season with a little more done to it to try and get 11s

What fuel?

/ Maniac. They don't drive themselves!

It is a built VK56DETT http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/151739-6s-200mph-pump-gas-nissan-thats-goal.html

Nah - its on a Nissan engine

They've been around for at least a couple of years but really mainly used in the diesel world.

There are folks in the US who have on Supras and Hondas that I have seen with gains over normal GT4202Rs. I know someone who is in the process of putting together a twin GTX4508R setup, though thats just silly.

Seat of the pants, basically none - which actually surprised me. The most power I have made on paper was with the stock cast manifold I put back on after the stainless one failed. It SOUNDED like something more serious with the stainless manifold though, which gave an unjustified sensation of speed.

Wow I forgot how slow a ramp rate that old dyno was, no wonder my car went from making full boost at 3500rpm to 3700/3800rpm lol

The very few cars I've done ethanol blend tunes have ended up with better overall power delivery, potentially slightly better spool but I don't stress too much about the boost curve so much as power delivery. All that should matter is more torque everywhere

With a good tune it should, my GT3076R first went on my car at around the 100,000km mark (I can't remember exactly when) and the motor has not been opened since I got it at 60,000km, presumeably not before then either. It is now at around 197,000km and I first had it tuned to 15psi... and has since been tuned on 17psi (probably done 40,000km or so at that level). I've mentioned the actuator should be upgraded earlier in this thread, I had similar spool to this with the one supplied.

My standard head gasket has had nearly 100,000km of >15psi (its hit 30psi after I did something silly once) and its intact, they can't be THAT bad.

Am I reading it wrong, at a glance its richer than 12:1 from 4000rpm - what would you expect to run AFR wise at 15psi?

A few places sell GTX3076R without turbine housings, at which point they are the same price as a "full" GT3076R... be careful that you dont end up with a full turbo.

On any sensible reading dyno, I have no idea how 230kw is what could be considered as realistic for a GT3076R running a bit of boost into it - unless it was an RB20.

^ So basically the Skyline is good for touring and the EVO is good for having fun? I agree with a certain amount of whats said, a lot of it comes down to boost level and gearing though - EVOs get a huge boost of torque from the good turbo combination and big boost (at least 16psi stock?) they run through the things. A GTR sucking >16psi becomes quite a serious device. GTRs are a lot lower from their potential, though 2.6litre is too small for the whale they go in.

^ Thats in line with what he said RB25s would do with a GT3076R so not surprising. Until the GT3071R starts choking they'll both make similar power levels vs boost levels.

Nice result! Interesting that people have suddenly started calling the .82 hotside ".86" which is only a T2x flange thing, or is there some strange new thing I've never heard of? GTX3582Rs sound like they are a pretty special thing, I've heard other insane results for them. I may have underestimated them

Sounds like a wiring issue... should start a new thread for it as there could be much discussion for that. Nice result on the GTX3582R (??) Stryder - look forward to seeing the sheet Whats the spool like?

Whoa well that sounds like a solid start... bummer it hasn't gone as smooth as you'd have liked so far, but still pretty promising. Look forward to hearing how it goes with the new pipe!

The boost curve on that looks much like when I had the soft actuator, get a big can actuator and that'll really liven things up - the one supplied seems to open at about 11-12psi no matter what you do and makes it feel quite lazy. In regards to the power made, mine still made pretty decent power on 15psi - GT3076Rs work fairly well at 1bar still, they just come into their own versus small turbos at higher boost... more due to the smaller turbos maxing out than the GT3076R NEEDING lots of boost. Maybe that dyno is particularly harsh? Does it feel fairly quick on the road once boost is built up or is it definitely feeling like the 230kw number suggests?

^ Thats what I thought too, though I was quickly corrected.. At what point did the dump pipe become a hold back? I didn't expect to hear that, it must have been a huge amount of power!

Crikey, so you've stock mounted it!? No wonder! If you go 3.5, please fix that
