the new and the old

ok once the turbo is off you must lock to nuts together and remove the stud becareful not to break them.i do about 1/4 turn then back the other way then go 1/4 more so like 2steps forward 1 step back ..helps to free them up....

test fitting.. note manifold clearance ....water and oil lines check it all looks good and where it should be:)

post-28208-1233572242_thumb.jpg

you can see here that the comp housing fouls the manifold so yo must run a 10 mm spacer..hence removing the studs for longer ones..

post-28208-1233572285_thumb.jpg

ok this is the new dump flange, i cut the wastegate pipe hole myself ...holesaw nuthing special...remember cutting compound ...

I placd an order for a four bolt turbine housing and external wastegate but my order got cancelled. I tihnk it would have made it easier but I think the GT3076R is the ideal turbo for a stock RB25DET. I may go down the road again and purchase one and have everything done. Nice work you're doing there.

right now its the standard one got a z32 ready to go on very soon..

i didnt think about running the afm in the cooler pipeing....is this common.?

hmmm:)

so much rain here cant get the car tuned really shitting me.. want to reap the benifits ...dammit....

i've got a z32 afm as well, but i really want to upgrade to a gt3076r with the 4" anti surge port comp cover, i didn't realise the whole afm dilemma until i saw it here.

oops.

i've seen the afm in intercooler piping done a lot in VL turbos

it makes sense to have it closer to the throttle body, and it would measure the proper density of air as well (if its placed after the intercooler)

but im just making suggestions, speak to your tuner and see what he says

otherwise, maybe go for a d-jetro setup?

not going d jetro just got a norm pfc ....q45 solves any restriction proplems....will eventually get 1... just brought a z32 ....new to....crap..lol

the turbo sounds awesome...i have just been crusing around only boosting to 5>6 psi...standard ecu still in it aswell so dont want to kill my motor

i spools up real quick...cant wait for my tune 555cc nismo inj and z32 to go on soon.. got water meth injection on it now too. not runnig though saving the meth i have for the tune..waiting for a few drums to arive...:thumbsup:

Nice write up mate, im also going to be installing a 3076r very soon, but i got the externally gated version with avo rear, so i will be needing custom piping to be welded up.. ive been quoted around $2000 for the installation and piping, thats including relocating the top intake piping that goes over the tappet covers because i got a top mount manifold. does this sound a bit too dear?

not really if thats the turbo installed new dump and new intake pipeing..id say thats fairly good price.... my oil water lines were nearly 400 bucks alone....do you like the d.i.y oil catch can....silicon hose 2 spray paint lids soem hose clamps a filter and you got a catch can....

hi there

my name is anthony and I am a member of skylineowners.com in the uk.

I have a fairly grunty Rb25det at the moment - it has a fully forged engine but the turbo isn't the punchiest - its a td05 18g and it only makes a total of about 380bhp. Its currently making a smooth 340bhp but I have been looking to get 500bhp if possible. However I wasn't sure what to look for and have just found your thread on fitting the gt3076 which looks perfect and proper beefy under the hood lol! I fancy having a go at this myself but I have some questions.

1 Can you but the 10mm spacer flange to get the turbo away from the manifold? I saw that you cut your own but I dont have any facilities to do that :)

2 Would I need one with an internal wastegate penny as I've seen a couple for sale that dont have that!

3 Do I need a gt3076 with a T4 flange or a T3 one? I'm a little lost with that stuff :D

4 I have a Z32 afm - is it much fuss to fit between the induction filter and the pipework?

I found this turbo on ebay from perth australia which I've been considering - is this what I would be after?

item number: 170313773271

sorry for all the pestering questions but I would really like to hit the 500bhp mark and I know the engine would happily take it (wiseco 87mm pistons, rb26 nur spec conrods, arp head bolts and numerous other goodies). not many people have fitted one of these over here in the uk but I'd like to have a go :)

hi anthony

1. you can buy a spacer from SAU traders or turbo shops.

2. internal wastegate unless you want to get involved in changing to an external wastegate (which means either new manifold or you need to modify the turbine housing to fit an external wastegate off it).

3. T3 flange

4. Z32 is a straight fit but your ECU (ie. aftermarket) will need to support the change.

hi Wolverine thanks for your answers :thumbsup:

The Z32 is already under my car and my oem ecu is mapped to use it - the tuner used Nistune and was at Rising Sun Performance in the uk (dunno if you guys have heard of them over there?) Anyhow I'm pretty sure he'd be able to map the car using the bigger gt3076

so I'm guessing the standard downpipe is enough for the turbo to work with and is a direct fit is that correct, or will that need uprating too?

I have been told I will need to uprate the injectors - at present I'm running Daetchwerx 550cc injectors which I'm sure (at a push) will run 500bhp or in that higher 400 range certainly which would be enugh for me. I have also been told my gtr clutch would need uprating. Any of you guys confirm that stuff?

you will need a new downpipe if you get a garrett turbine housing (which i would recommend) there are some GT3071's and GT3076's shoehorned into nissan turbine housings but i believe you will get a lesser result this way. there is a good thread on what constitutes the best version in forced induction at the moment.

the 550cc injectors will be fine.

clutch will only need replacing IF it lets go which is more a function of how you treat it/use it.

Nistune will be fine.

wolverine - thanks again - how can I tell if it is a garrett housing - is it literally stamped with garrett? I'm guessing the nissan/shoehorned would have nissan on it if it was the lesser version?

downpipe - are there specific types that mate up with the gt3076 and onto the other side of your exhaust easily?

clutch is never pushed hard - I dont even launch hard as I believe this is worst way to kill a clutch but if it gave out I'd upgrade happily anyways. not a tough job to put another in anyways. even lifted out the gearbox on my own shoulder lol!

good stuff about the injectors n nistune - I can get rsp to do the remap/retune again :thumbsup:

worp3d - I dont know too much about what he's done in the past but I do know the guys level of knowledge at rsp is amazing and they're a really friendly bunch :laugh:

anthony - try tweakit.net

they have a 3076r package, which includes, turbo, lines, dump pipe and spacer and flange. Shipping to the uk will probably set you back an arm and a leg, but it might just be what your looking for.

copy-n-pasted from their website:

Includes:

1x Garrett GT3076R RB20DET-RB25DET Turbocharger, complete with internal Wastegate and actuator.

Fitting Kit Includes: Oil and water lines, Gaskets, Spacer, Studs, Nuts and Silicone Elbow for intake.

Optional: Mild Steel or Stainless Steel Dump Pipe (both have separate wastegate pipe blending in three quarters down the dump pipe.

The Exhaust Housing has the 5-Bolt Garrett dump pipe flange (Rather than the 6-Bolt Nissan dump pipe flange), so if you are fitting this turbo to a Skyline (R32/R33/R34), then the optional Mild or Stainless Steel Dump pipe is highly recommended.

$2,460.00AUD (inc GST) AU

$2,236.36AUD(ex GST) AU

    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1680, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
