I have a garrett journal bearring t3. It *might* be a super 60 but I'm not sure about that.

.60 AR Compressor housing

.48 AR exhaust housing.

Garrett claims 350 hp on they're current t3 with a .42 AR compressor housing.

I'm just curious, as I broke a plastic tip off of one of my 450cc injectors, what sort of boost should I run with this new turbo on the factory injectors? I have an SAFC, HKS EVC, and will be using an AEM wideband.

At this maximum safe boost level, what horsepower should I be making? My goal is 300 whp, but I figure that might be pushing it too far.

Thanks!

Its dependant on airflow

Its not a "given" psi. One turbo might will flow more than another, etc etc.

So using "18 psi" is a load of rubbish :thumbsup:

Depends on the car/turbo spec and carry on from there

cheers

This is why I listed the specs on my turbo, and injectors...

I'm not looking for an exact answer, but just a safe guestimate..

Thanks!

with my t3/t4 turbo i got 327hp with stock injectors and a cheap FPR. Injectors reached 100% just before redline and a/f's went to around 12.7-13:1 can't quite remember.. the turbo has a .63 exhaust and a .5 or .55 front again can't remember. this was with an safcII aswell. And also 18psi

Good to know, I dont want to reach quite that high of a duty cycle, but I also have a smaller turbo than you...

I'll keep the boost around 16 psi and maybe take my fuel pressure up a few PSI.

Thanks for the response!

PS: do you have a dyno graph? and did you add fuel with your SAFC?

yeah got a dyno graph i'll scan it and put it up. but it only have power against boost, no af. we actually had to take out fuel over most of the map as the factory computers just dump the fuel in as a safety measure. we tried addiing more fuel at the top but it didn't help which is how we know its the injectors. set ur fuel reg to 40psi as the base pressure. i ended up turning mine down to about 15-16psi on high boost for the street just to be safe

thats with the vacuum line unplugged correct?

My guess is that this is with idle vacuum, and a rising rate reg.

Seriously, i dont see why you guys dont spend the $200 and upgrade to gtr injectors, its a small % of what you are spending doing it up, and than skimping on the most important part

I have a lot of difficulty believing rb20 injectors can flow enough for 327rwhp. regardless of rail pressure. also you do not want to run a rail pressure of any higher thn 60 psi due to o rings and hoses that are 15 years old (44 psi + 16psi boost) even if you did run 4 psi extra rail pressure that is less than 6% more fuel and 270cc equates to 273.5 horsepower at the flywheel then add 6% and you get 289.9 horsepower at the fly wheel at 12:1 afr.

then you have drivetrain loss to consider:)

I am not trying to start an argument but there are the calculations for you.

to keep it simple, 200rwkw is the maximum i would want to run on RB20 injectors!

On Boostworxs dyno myself and a mates both hit 100% duty at around 180rwkw with a 12:1 afr and stock fuel pressure.

Mate of mine was running a suspected GTR pump that later ran out of fuel at 250rwkw and my own which is a bosch 044.

180rwkw is 241rwhp so 29rwhp drive train loss going by the usual 270cc injectors = 270hp. :S

Maybe our beloved DD Dynos are reading a touch high as technically its not possible for 270cc injectors to make 241rwhp when you consider drive train loss.

Was the 250rwkw with stock injectors with a stock FPR?

Was the 250rwkw with stock injectors with a stock FPR?

Sorry no. His stock injectors with the same fuel pump and stock fuel reg hit 100% duty at ~183rwkw with 12:1 afr's Gt35r .82 on 7-8psi.

Dropped in a set of sard 800 twin sprays maxed out the fuel pump at 250rwkw and then went on to make 260rwkw on 1 bar.

The turbo really didn't make all that good power under 10psi; over 10psi it really woke up.

    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.
