If you had to use a single turbo to make 400 - 450kw ATW, what would you use ?

GTX3582R, GT3788R, T04Z ???

gogogo !

Normally I would go the Z because it won't stop at 560-600 but the 3788 will spool faster. If you don't want any more than 560-580 then the 3788 is perfect, after that, the Z is still comparable for response with the 0.99 housing on the 3788

Alright lads,

Descision has been made.

For those who don't want to click the link, it's the GT3788R from GCG here in aus, very reasonably priced too actually.

only question remains.

What rear ?

0.89

0.99

1.11

I'm thinking 0.99

Will you be going for low exhaust manifold back pressure and cams with some overlap? If you are, then go the larger rear housing but expect less performance at lower rpm.

If you don't have a lot of head porting and have zero overlap go the smallest.

I am not sure what the runner diameter of the 6Boost manifold and the lengths of the runners but that is also a consideration.

You need to choose which direction you want to set up your engine and turbocharger.

Low back pressure system: significant head porting, properly design tubular manifold, larger A/R turbine housing and camsahfts with some overlap... aim for 1:1 exhaust manifold pressure and boost pressure.

High back pressure system: the OEM turbocharger set up is a perfect example, higher exhaust manifold back pressure to boost (i.e. maybe 2/2.5/3.0 - 1), no overlap, short manifold runners, small A/R turbine housing.

You can't do a mix of both as each one will characterise how the engine will perform.

    • 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
