I got a new turbo put on, and used a 1.06 rear housing instead of a .82 rear and the car sounds allot deeper then before, the engine sounds the same and runs really good but the exaust note is tuffer and deeper...

oh its a GT3540 with 1.06 it used to be .82 ar and front is the same.

I was wondering if this is normal or should i look for a exaust leak or something ;)

I very much doubt its an exhaust leak mate, but obviously check the gaskets and what not.

Exhaust leak will generally sound alot louder, and not "tuff", "deep" or "throaty" but more rattly.

On a side note, how is the car to drive with such a large housing?

The 1.06 on the 30det isn't too bad surprisingly.. It makes 1bar+ a little before 4000rpm.

The only real difference to the smaller .82 is the .82 begins making boost much earlier in the rpm; the larger 1.06 seems to make no boost no boost then within 400-500rpm it brings it all on but linear and smooth.

The 1.06 you loose that windmill feel at low rev's part throttle but by all means they still feel quite good on the 3ltr.

Not sure about you question but i have one for you!

What do you reckon of the bigger rear?

Yeah its good i wreckon, i can feel the car feels much more free off boost, and it seems to make 5psi by 3300rpm and full boost 1bar by about 3800. I have not upped the boost past 1 bar yet because i spent all my money on this turbo so there not even enough money to pay for extra fuel for road tuning either.

Its good, I am thinking it has the same power at 9psi then it used to have at 15. So 20psi will be interesting, before i made 363rwkw on 25psi now it will be making that on 18psi i wreckon. Should be interesting

i would say that yes the larger housing would change the exhaust note, after all it is flowing a lot more freely, and is a larger chamber compared to before.

got lag at all tho?

Yes it raised the rpm for boost by about 300 - 400rpm

To the people inquiring about lag, he is running an RB30DET. From the dyno sheets i have seen they are normaly well on their way to making boost by 4000 rpm with the 1.06 rears.

mmmm yes. RB30DET.

Here are some pics from my mission last weekend, i took my time with it and used my old housings and gtr_etr sent me his 1.06 to swap with my .82 from QLD, thanks mate!... oh it took me about 4 hours all up to change it over by myself.

Have a look at the pics, i couldnt believe the difference between the two.

I know no one probly cares.. but i had some interesting fun with this new turbino on my car tonight

I gave it a quick street tune, just 3 hits in second gear only to fix the arf's up, got it down to 11.3 afr and far out.

I would have to say it has close to the same power before on only 18psi of boost.

This car is now going to be an animal, i was shocked after the third run and did not hit boost again, bit hairy going sideways and stuff.

cant wait to spend a few hours on the dyno with it. and on the map tracer you can see that the boost does come on 400rpm later, it goes to full load 19 at rev point 12 when before it used to be 11.

not bad! im going to like this new setup :)

the larger housing is now on and yes it does alter the exhausrt note. Power comes on later tho that is to be expected on a 25.

The engine is on a mild tune at the moment making 335 killer wasps at 20 lb.

No timing or cam dial in yet. thats next weeks project I am hoping it may bring boost on a tad earlier as I dont think the power delivery would be much chop for track work. Any hoos, we'll see what happens with a few more pound of boost and some cam and timing work.

nah not yet, but i would like to once its tuned up

Sounds awesome.To you take the car to the strip much?
nice work guilt-toy

Sorry I missed your calls yesterday too - Left my phone in the car.

I still think you should put the WMI kit on and aim for 400rwkw :P

thats cool man, i will ring you in a sec

mine is a rb30det, so its not tooo bad.

these turbos are great for rb's !! my car sounds sooo much tuffer, especially in the mid range and just before it hits limiter, and when it hits limiter man it sounds like a animal! on low boost. i dunno if i will go much further then 22psi this time around

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
