discopotato03:

Which turbo do you suggest for a rb26/30 to make 500bhp with minimal lag. Cars purpose is curciut so i need something that will be perfect. However i do not have the cash to go for a new hks item, i will only be looking at something new from gcg i imagine.

Engine will use some cams, but will be internally standard otherwise. I would like to go a custom piston to bump the cr upto 9:1 but since i dont shit cash the engine will be using rb30na pistions for roughly 8.3:1 cr?

Car is a r32 gtst so fairly lightweight, thought id add that after reading your posting on cruiseliners stagea

Cheers mate !

I've looked around quite a bit, looked at a tonne of compressor maps and with a little direction from Discopotato I really like the idea of the GT40 82mm 50trim comp wheel on a the GT35R .82.

I believe the GT40 82mm 50trim comp wheel is what HKS use in their HKS3040.

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...82_452232_5.htm

Slightly better response and spool from the 50trim wheel over the 56trim 82mm comp wheel.

There's so many little hybrids you can throw together.

Throwing a big compressor on a restrictive hot side doesn't work all that well with the rb30's, they tend to flatten out up top and peak power rpm falls short due to high back pressure resulting in lower VE.

Similiar to what happens with a GT2510 on an RB20, Chris's RB20DET running the GT2510 makes its peak power around 5500rpm when he ups the boost, it then noses over, reduce the boost and it makes its lesser peak power higher up in the rpm.

One could make it more responsive again by dropping on a GT30R 76mm 56trim comp wheel but the only thing that disturbs me with that combo is the compressor speed vs how much air it pushes.. I don't completely understand the correlation and how it affects compressor performance if it were to be attached to the slower spinning but more torque gt35r turbine wheel.

Hi Cubes , I was hoping to get some kind of plate without metalic facings because of the "flywheel effect" and Nissan afliction with wide spaced 1-2 gearing . What was the go with that other thing you mentioned ?

Also having thoughts of VLT sized flywheel in ally and organic linings if it could work .

26GTS thats hard to say because there are so many variables though gearing and useful power range are very significant , Gary's the one to ask .

Back to Cubes , yes I'm concerned about wheel speeds as well so while the GT37 compressor (from GT3076R) could be used its hard to say whether a 3L engine could breathe through that cover at no/low boost and high RPM . The GT35 turbine and 82mm 50T GT40 compressor are probably a better speed match but the bit thats hard to know is if the 4082's compressor is the same profile and tip height as HKS's GT3040 .

I don't know if its significant but I have seen mention of a "HKS GT3540R KAI" that was being used (2) for record holding GTR's but I suspect all they are is the T51R KAI comp on the GT3540R hot side - not sure , anyone ?

I may have mentioned before that Garrett has been sneakily reducing their turbine trims on larger frame turbos ie GT4088R (78T) and T51R KAI/SPL (76T) and maybe this is on the cards for GT35 and GT30 turbines - who knows . The highest performance commonly available GT28BB turbine is 76 trim as is the TO4Z's P trim turbine . We could definitely use a lower trim GT35 turbine to speed things up a little while still having the 68mm OD to develop the shaft torque . Most GT turbines from GT30 series up are 84 trim and this is fine for low exhaust restriction but will affect the response of the turbine . I'm only speculating but Garrett is probably looking at minimum size and weight (read cost) of their turbos , and its probably more cost effective to have big trim medium sized turbines and housing families rather than smaller trim bigger diametre turbines with their bulkier/heavier/costlier housings . The choke flow may be the same but the energy recovered by the turbine will not be the same across their speed ranges .

I think there is a market for these "wildcat hybrids" such as smaller trim GT35 turbines with 76mm compressors and or small trim GT30 turbines with 71mm compressors . Cubes if you have a closer look at that plain bearing Garrett GT4082 you'll notice that its 77mm GT40 turbine is 73 trim and I don't think its a mistake that they teamed a small turbine trim with a small compressor trim . You would also notice that the difference between the turbine and compressor diametre is small ie 77mm and 82mm . If you compare the turbine map of the GT4082 with the GT3540R (1.06AR) you'll see that the maximum flow is not too different . What does hold back the GT4082's airflow a little is the .58AR comp cover which is physically a little smaller than a TO4S .70 AR (GT3540R) . I did some searches a while back on that GT4082 and some quite liked it even with its plain bearings and the weird extended turbine outlet pipe . I reckon had this been available in BB CHRA with a little larger turbine trim ie 76 and a choise of 50/52/54 comp trims it would be a good thing - with appropriate housings . The GT4088R is basically that in 78 turbine trim but the comp side climbs to 88mm so its getting big/heavy/costly/laggy again .

There really is not going to be a cheap way out of this . With what's available a GT3540R 50T gets into the ball park but the only way to tune the thing is with turbine housing AR and even this can't mimic the propper turbine trim . So I guess an RB30DET biased towards making as much low mid range as possible ie cams CR best pump fuel etc had something like this it may end up with a torque spread thats good for the street .

Cheers A .

hmm im thinking i should build a slapper ..

std bottom end and deck the block to up the compression ratio using the std rb30e pistons.

im running the HKS GT3040 you guys have been talking about .. i have both a 0.86 and 1.12 rear housing here so it will be interesting to see how it goes.

on the RB25 with pon cams im getting full boost at 5000rpm on the 1.12 rear housing. would love to see how the RB30det would change the response on this turbo.

hey cubes that clutch sounds alright for my needs, so the big question is, how much was it and how much is the bit lighter version?

anyone got any ideas on what sort of rpm a rb30/26 with stock rb30e pistons and my hks to4z 0.81 housing will make full boost?

thanks for the turbo tech info discopotato :dry: the hks version sounds good but i am on a limited budget and want value for money :)

heres the rough costs i have added up.. (this is for a maximum of 400rwhp)

26 head and plenum - $1000 (from a mate)

30 bottom end complete and untouched - $250

gtr injectors - $280

nismo regulator- $140

timing belt - $100

head and manifold gasket kit - $350

exhuast manifold - $300

sump adaptor - $500

single plate clutch - $500-$700 (rough guess)

tensioner - ???

gt3040r turbo - $1300 or so second hand

tomei head oil restrictors - $20

wastegate - $600

and i already have all the cooler piping, a greddy type r bov, gtr cooler, power fc djetro ecu, gtr enlarged 9L sump with baffles, full 3.5" exhuast.

i worked out for a cheap setup im still lookin at $4000 + the turbo and thats with all the bits i already have lying around.

im sure ive forgotten half the stuff but thats the basics, so i'd say $5500 is a good estimate

Nope nothing to do with the resistor pack..

100% completely my stupid fault.. There's a little thread in the SA section regarding an elect. repairer. Its in force electronics now getting looked at, nothing is burnt it just doesn't work. :)

Are you tuning on the std injectors?

Who's tuning it at Tilbrooks? Tim still there by any chance?

Ow ok goodluck with it bro! Mark will be doing the tunning i think, im running stock 270 injectors think they have been hi-flowed or something due to the fuel consumption! My fuel pump is aftermarket remember you heard it :) who knows whats been done to these injectors...

im running stock cooler, afm too hopefully this wont cause any probs!

Edited by FOOLBOOST
That GT35r is not going to work well with the std injectors. :)

I would grab an adj. fpr to help them handle 13psi or what ever the lower level is. :)

Ok ill see if i can get my hands on an adjustable fuel reg, dont they just increase the injector duty cycle if the injectors arent big enuff? wastegate is set to 13psi... :)

Edited by FOOLBOOST
Raise fuel pressure = more fuel flow = lower duty cycle for a given power level.

= bad spray patterns = uneven burn = poor econ, power, and dangerous.

i hate FPRs. been tuning with them and they never seem to work nicely, but more to the point there not much cheaper than a set of 2nd hand larger injectors and there only a bandaid solution at best.

save ya money and get some GTR injectors or something and use the stock 1:1 FRP u wont be sorry

bah bull shit...

Keep it within the considered save 15% and its fine.

The GT35r @ 13psi the std injectors 'should' be ok providing they have been cleaned, running a tad more fuel pressure and not pushing much past 210-220rwkw.

It will be close but at least you 'may' get away with it, on std fuel pressure there's no chance.

Foolboost, please do give tilbrooks a ring and tell them your situation, ensure they know about the stock injectors and if a gt35r pushing 13psi will require larger items or a little fuel pressure will get you by for now. (as they are as afr's are not overly rich, its probably chewing fuel as its a fresh motor and injectors may be a little dirty).

I run a bosch pump and found the std injectors were maxing out a tad early as the std wiring running to the pump was letting it down, at load the pump was only seeing 11.2v, rewired it now see's 13.8v or what ever the alt puts out to the dot.

The problem is people try to squeeze 450bhp out of 370cc injectors... This is where the problem lies. Try to squeeze a tad more in order to drop the duty cycle to a safe level and its fine.

GTR injectors hit 80% at around 230rwkw on std fuel pressure. With fuel pressure you can push 270rwkw odd but I wouldn't go much more.

So... ditch the gtr injector idea and jump straight in to 550-600cc items.

If he already has GTR injectors he is looking for around 10% increase in flow from the AFPR to make his power target. Having tested GTR injectors up to 60 psi (standard is 36-38 psi) I can say the spray pattern actually improves. Better atmosation/misting. Thers is probably a limit to how high you can go before it all turns to crap, but 10% more flow sure isn't in the ball park.

A Nismo bolt on AFPR (as used by Mines and me) costs $150 from Nengun, so it's nowhere close to the cost of an injector upgrade. And takes about 10 minuted to fit, so no labour or extra parts required.

:) cheers :D

PS, it's all in the numbers 440 cc's = 440 bhp = 331 kw - 70 kw losses = 261 rwkw at around 85% duty cycle.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
