I must be missing something, whats the relevance to this discussion Marko?

I am making a statement that its a nice car, is that not allowed on sau?

about the same relevance as that 300,000 word 20 year old sig quote

hmmmm...i will amend my sig if its that much of an eyesore

Thought that may be the case!

enough with the bait! give it a rest

Always a bit sceptical when theres no corrections on a dyno dynamics graph for all we know that graph could be stock turbos with 200 degrees of intake compensation.. Before xmas my car made 492rwkw on e85 and 26psi on a pretty hot day with 28degrees AirTemp 49 degrees InletTemp compensation worked in the figure i thought nice not much to go till 500 now. After having a few problems we stopped tuning for the day, 2 days later went to another dyno, tune unchanged made 460rwkw i was like :mad:

Anyway dynos tell porkies we need more mph on the 1/4 in this thread.. :cheers:

There was a full thread on the car specs if you want to know more - rb29 was in the title IIRC.

"RB29 wow". Great thread, and that graph is pure car porn.

Hey question for you guys.. Im currently building my engine, and a thought crossed my mind.. The gtx3076r's compressor map shows it can flow around 65lbs/min of air at ~29psi. Could this translate into a hopeful ~530 - 550rwhp? Or ~400rwkw? I mean, could it be done for sake of argument..

The housing configuration i figured would be a 1.06 T4, most likely divided and mated to a twin scroll manifold.

Any thoughts guys? :)

I wouldn't, not unless you've seen anyone push one that hard and make that much power on a dyno type that gives results which reads in the area you aim to reach that power on. You certainly won't be getting that power from one on pump gas on any dyno, E85 or something similar would be a must.

400kw should be achieveable on E85 with a GTX3076R at least on a hub dyno, actually even potentially with a run of the mill GT3076R.

I thought the same thing, the GTX3076 compressor flows nearly 5 lbs more than the GT35 on paper so 400atw should be theoretically possible with enough boost.

Was definately thinking the e85 route aswell. IIRC, some of the supra guys have them running 26psi, so i figure the odd jump to 29psi would be ok. And because of the 1.06a/r, EGT temps *should* be fairly acceptable.. I think?

Wouldnt the gt3076 be out of its ideal efficiency? I mean, i havent seen one go past ~24psi, but then again i havent looked for that exact figure..

My build should be done around september, so might push it to 29psi to see if its achievable.. For science-sake :)

Scotty, glad to see im not the only one! :D i know the gtx are marginally slower coming onto boost, but i figure the divided housing mated to a twin scroll mani should bring it back to bee's dick of difference.

Thanks for the input gents! :D

The normal GT3076Rs have been pushed up past that before and made good power, but yeah they are definitely pushing shxt up a hill. I reckon the gun choice for what you're looking at doing would be a FP GT3076RHTA personally.... have a look into those while you're considering it.

They are claimed as 59lb/min, which sounds underwhelming compared to the GTX but bare in mind the maximum flow is rated to whatever flow efficiency the company decide to use as a cut-off and isn't an absolute - and also Garrett themselves have ultimately said the 77mm compressor used on the GTX3076R isn't suited to the GT30 hotside by putting it on the GTX3576R, the extra flow is argueably redundant on the GT30 turbine.

I think the HTA76 wheel is basically the ultimate compressor for a GT30 turbine, the most flow you could put through that turbine with better response than a normal 56trim GT3076R wheel.

Problem with ramming so much boost etc, what happens if you get a slightly average batch of fuel?

There is really not enough room for error running uncontrolled fuels in street cars.

Mine is lasting well so far, haven't had any bad batches of Caltex yet either according to the wideband anyway. I did hear it pinking once on cruise one of the hot days we had, but its running 18:1 there for economy atm. >_<

Im not scared about the little VQ, seen many stock VQ30det's pushing big numbers (400-450kw) and the VQ25det runs the same rods, the main worry is the auto. Either way, I have spare engines and a trans here.

I doubt 400 is attainable with the auto, (I would be happy with 350) but a built RB with a GTX3076 would sh*t it in. I will check out the HTA76 further Lithium but I think the compressor housing is a little too big. Does it still run the Garrett rear?

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
