Sleepy was kind enough to take me for a spin in his skyline with a GT-RS hks turbo, very responsive, was wondering if anyone on here has a Garret GT3076r on a rb25 I can compare it to please? Don't really want to drive it, just sit in the passengers seat and see how it goes.

Am thinking about both turbo's atm.

thx

Your spot on wanting to find a ride with the Turbo your considering. Sorry I dont know any1 with this set-up. It also depends on other mods you have/planning.

It's not the same but perhaps the forced induction threads may help. Use the search facility at the base of the main page.

Forced Induction - Search for "3076r"

I will also be getting a 3076r installed towards the end of Jan start of Feb, hopefully if John (trojan) is free by then.. but i will be getting a water meth injection kit installed as well, so it will be a bit different (increased timing etc) from a standard setup..

Yeah I new Mick (bullet32) was getting a 3076r, was hoping someone in canberra already had one, as I'm hoping to get the work started sometime this month. I have most of the supporting mods for this turbo already. How much is the water meth injection setup costing you? evl?

Water meth kits are around $400AU to $800AU+ depending on the type of kit you get and what extras it has (safety cut off switches etc). As for installation, I was thinking of doing it myself as it isnt very hard to do, but John is installing the 3076r + tuning it, so I might as well get him to install the lot..

I have a Snow Performance stage 2 boost cooler waiting to go into my car, just remember though that a WMI kit does need you to check that the reservoir has fluid in it regularly, if the car is tuned to make full use of the WMI kit and its empty your engine may not like it.

yeah i've looked into this, there are different brands (Devils Own WM kit) which include fluid level switches that notifies you if the WM level is low, i've also heard of timing retard/cutout switches as well, they detect if the reservoir is running low or empty, and if so, then decrease the timing and/or boost pressure by going into safe mode (a bit dearer but its worth it if it ends up saving the engine)..

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
