I'd love to see a gtx3076r making over 400rwkw on an RB. The curve should be pretty nuts.

Even better would be someone running two of them, high mounted on any kind of RB engine bigger than 2.6L otherwise I suspect the lag would be too much....even though it would feel insane when it did get some meaningful boost and it would have such a short RPM range where it just piles on the power increase. Would be a wild ride!

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?

Are you talking about on the VQ? I was aiming the response at Dajae who appears to have a Skyline, wouldn't think it should have a problem there. The FP turbos have OEM Garrett housings, though as you seem to be aware all use the .70a/r comp housings.

I'm not 100% sure why people are excited about the GTX3076Rs tbh. The comp wheel doesn't flow as much as a GT3582R compressor, and a back to back dyno with a GT3082R has proven them to offer no better spool. There hasn't been anything yet to make me feel like they are something special, they flow like they are a bigger than a GT3076R and spool that way too - more lag and more power are just a typical trade off.

In all honesty so far I prefer the idea of a Kando T67!

Spool 3.4

Awesome! Mine is going on a spool 2.8 kit. They're a nice bit of kit, too :)

Thanks Lith, will look into the FP range. I know the evo guys have good results with them.

N1, makes two of ua mate! :D i hope to push that boundary soon :) and if the results look promising on the 3.4, even better :)

Yeh sorry, VQ.

I can only go by what Garrett's maps tell me, the GTX3076 flows more than the GT35 and the FP HTA. Hopefully they aren't talking crap.

That GT3582R compressor map isn't right... see from Garrett:

714568-allcomp.jpg

Either way, more than enough to way outflow the GT30 imho which makes it pointless having that much compressor imho. Again, I am not at all convinced that a GTX3076R will make any more power than a FP HTA GT3076R.

^ as above, can only but try. The compressor is not the only part of the equation, even if the compressor CAN move x amount of air at y amount of boost its irrelevant if either the engine, the fuel system, the other boltons, the turbine housing/wheel, or any other part of the car isn't up to supporting that power figure.

Air leaks are the worst one, you often can't hear them and they aren't bad enough to effect day to day driving, but on boost if they start wasting compressor flow will kill power.

I wish more tuners would insist on doing a smoke test before tuning a car these days.

Agreed. I think i have everything needed to achieve it, or atleast get close. Head has had some decent work done, although im steering towards oversize valves to help out a bit. And some decent cams. Im still reading up on threads relating to e85 though..

I hear good things about pierburg (spelling?) fuel pumps.. :)

The end of next week, not much dyno time needed, only enough to make sure the new TB and stuff is working right.

Goes in on Tues night or Wends morning which is when Ill drop of the sump for Stevo.

It will be good not to be loosing all that air, it couldnt even get the pressure up past 2psi (If I remember right) on the smoke test machine bottle gauge thingie as the leak was so bad. pinch.gif

Dajae - I bought a pierburg but haven't fitted it yet...I created a thread on my findings and what I can tell you is that it flows more than the aeromotive stealth by a decent margin but I can't recall the figures exactly.

As a comparison, Bosch 044 flows 200ltrs/min @ 5bar whereas the pierburg flows 360ltrs/min @ 5bar.

They are not cheap so expect to pay about $450 with a filter.

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
