Attached is an intitial dyno of the HKS 3037S 56T I just had fitted.

I got him to keep the boost to 1 bar, and the AF ratios on the conservative side, as I was a bit paranoid about the plenum and the fact that I still havent fitted a head gasket.

Torque is very linear, the lower run was on 10lbs the upper on 1 bar, which comes up under 3krpm. Boost starts building at just over 2krpm. Also the car feels more responsive off boost, which could be due to the manifold that was done at the same time as the turbo, also had a front facing throttle body and plenum done.

All up it is awesome on the road, totally different car to drive. Top power was only 230kw @ 1 bar - cant wait to wind in some boost and get let the turbo show its true colours:D

sweet results steve, when the cams and head gasket going in?

Rob, generally the amount of air flow will vary from trubo to turbo. Some turbos will make 200kw at the same boost another turbo will make 250kw. If I am not mistaken, the TD06 is acutally rated higher than the 3037, but give me an earlier spoolup anyday - personal preferance.

Also, your dyno was in shootout mode wasnt it? which will give a different figure to if its not in shootout mode.

Anyways, the part that truely impresses me is the long flat torque curve - thats the fun zone:)

paul, I have already tried bumping the boost to 1.2bar, but couldnt find anywhere local to really open her up. I sort of tried it, but got very sideways very quickly and there were a few cars about so I thought I would back off until I can find a nice open piece of road - just need a leave pass from the wife for the afternoon:)

It will be interesting to see how the GT30 you are fitting goes in comparsion - hurry up:D

INASNT, not putting cams and gasket in until I get the plenum sorted so probably a couple of months off unfortunately:( It will be interesting to see how it goes at 1.5-1.6 bar.

Steve: Is that the smallest turbine housing? 0.61A/R? I have the 0.73A/R. Yours is the 56T trim right?

rob77: Your TD06 would be a much larger than the GT3037S seeing that you have the 20G and the turbine housing of Steve's is 0.61A/R. Hence lower in rated horsepower, but a lot more responsive. It would be interesting to compare your TD06 to a GT3037S with a 1.12A/R turbine housing...both are comparable in size. I think the results would be very similar.

Steve, EVOIV,

fyi, the TD06SH L2 20G is actually rated at less power than the 56T GT3037S.

although, i guess the difference in exhaust housing A/Rs is what is making the difference b/w power/response on these two engines.

Steve,

with an A/R .73 exhaust housing, you'll definitely pick up atleast 10-15rwkw on the same boost.

good stuff btw, nice power/torque curve.

Yeah, I always wondered how manufacturers "rated" their turbos. Does anyone know? I also get confused as to how a GT3037S 56T turbo can be rated at 480PS, regardless of the turbine housing A/R used? I know the A/R makes a difference in lag, and I would expect the top end power to be higher with a larger A/R? Same goes for all other turbos. Confusing. I guess power also depends upon other things, like tuning and what others mods you may have.

RS500, where did you get the info about the TD06 being rated lower?

I wouldnt mind trying a larger AR, but I am not sure I want to loose the response which is pretty awesome, much better than I had hoped. HKS actually use the 0.87 AR on the 3037 they sell for skyline in complete bolt on kit form. I am just not sure I want to spend the $$ to find out that I prefer the 0.61 housing.

Why would just putting a larger housing pick up more power at the same boost?

EVOIV, 0.61 is the smallest, and yes its a 56T.

Steve,

check out the following turbo comparison table and you'll see that the GT3037S is actually rated at higher hp than the largest of the Trust TD06 20G.

http://fangartists.com/pics/turbo_comparison.jpg

the larger housing will decrease the amount of back-pressure in the exhaust housing allowing exhaust gasses to flow more freely giving higher hp at the cost low-down turbo response.

Actually, the .61 would be perfect for my 2L cossie ;)

btw, would any of you guys care to part with any of these GT3037S' that you have in your possession?? :D

EVOIV,

having the larger exhaust housing will bring the compressor into it's efficiency range of air-flow at a higher rpm but given the decrease in back-pressure, it will flow more gas hence more power, especially at higher boost.

the rule of thumb generally is that the bigger you go in the exhaust housing, the more you air/gas flow you get at higher rpm while sacrificing down low air-flow and response, whereas going smaller will allow more air/gas flow at lower rpm while sacrificing air/gas flow at higher rpm, hence loss of power.

EVOIV,

actually, a turbo's "rated hp" is affected by the different A/R sizes of an exhaust housing.

fyi, we'll take Ray Hall's GT series website as the prime example as to illustrate what we are talking about.

http://www.turbofast.com.au/GTseries.html

when looking at the CHRA assemble section, the following GT30 core is rated at 600hp (700177-0014).

that's all nice, although when this turbo is bought complete with an A/R .84 exhaust housing, it is only rated at 550hp (SB8006A) and infact it needs the A/R 1.06 housing to make the rated 600hp.

does this make sense??

yeah, i've made up my mind, i want a HKS GT3037S :D

why don't u just give me the 3037 that's on your EVO, then that'll prompt you to fix the other one so that you can get your car on the road ;)

Yes, I had always thought that the A/R affected the rated horsepower. The GT3037S is rated at 480PS (56T), so I am guessing that is with the largest A/R which I believe is 1.12? Considering this, I would expect my turbo to be rated around 400PS, which seems quite reasonable giving the power it produced.

Both turbos are off my car and I have the stock one back on. Don't worry, I am going to get the turbo sent to Sydney very soon. So when that happens, and hopefully if/when it's repaired...I'll let you know asap :D

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
