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.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • 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.
