Ours are aftermarket .60 A/R.

Mine blew my cooler piping.

I'm cool. lol

Thanks for the info.

I blew my cooler piping yesterday as well dammit!! Had to be the hardest to get to join as well :P

This is a ATR43G2 profile turbo on a stock r34 gtt. rb25detneo.

Pretty sure both you and Trozzle have ATR43G3 profiles not G2. Just so other people ordering dont get confused.

that was a quote from someone on here in another thread... i forgot who and where though...

Like i said it's just a rough calc. it all does depend on tyres and diff ratios, but meh close enough.

what's the difference between the g2 and g3? To my knowledge, I'm running ART43G2 w/ 0.60 A/R compressor, and 0.82 exhaust. Neither the compressor housing nor the exhaust housing are original pieces from my stock turbo.

I orderd a G2... I have no idea what the differences are so i really couldn't tell ya lol

Big thanks to Status for his work.

Did another run today with the modified ceramic bb ATR43G3 prototype. Once again few designs worked and some didn't. Its going back to the drawning board.

Also my Valve springs started to go funny. Time for some stronger springs.

So what did you trial? Just the bearing type vs plain bearing, or did you also swap comp housings and trial ported shroud vs full shroud?

Assuming no changes to the tune were made.

The overlay shows little quantifiable difference but is there any difference on the road and if so which gave you the best "feel"?

Both curves they were from the same turbo, they were 2x continues runs. Motor started having valve bounce issues. This is without the surge slots.

I also did some power enhancement modifications the turbine housing which worked but got unexpected lag.

Are you ever going to overlay the various turbo dyno sheets for us to see? Comparison is still very hard to do for your products and I am quite confused where they all stand against each other.

Identical turbos one with the ceramic bearing vs the standard bearing would be great to see overlayed as well. Status should have all the data saved so it should be very easy to compile.

Test car's got engine head problems. Power curve is not responding correctly to tune change due to valve bounce. I will do another run after head reconditioning and get some overplayed sheets with more accurate results then.

Also As far as I can seen I don't really think I can get any thing more responsive then Abe's in this size. Its not about the bearings, its about the surge pressure acting against the large flake of the blades. That slows the shaft speed till the turbine wheel produces more torque. Need to get the anti surge slots working or reduce the size of the blade for more response.

Thanks for another member sending in his footage with an ATR43G3 in .82 turbine running Vipec ECU.

298rwkws with VCT always off and 285rwkws with always VCT on. Not sure how that ECU system worked.

Whoever set the parameters for VCT on/off RPM muffed it lol...I think it would be as simple as to set it to turn OFF at whatever RPM those 2 power curves crossed over.

Yeah I think people do always on always off comparisons then turn it on/off where the graphs overlap, eg turn on just above idle as it always makes more power down low and then turn it off around 5500rpm or wherever it is starting to suck power. I'm pretty sure the vipec can turn it on/off at any setpoints.

Don't know why all the rb30 guys get rid of it, sure it might be extra work and f**king around but the difference in huge, eg 500rpm taken off turbo lag and a solid 20kw before that.

Problem is if you do that (artificially reducing the profile of the comp wheel) then you push less air into the engine and hence make less torque on the exhaust wheel, you also spin it harder for any specific air flow causing it to top out earlier, be better just using a smaller wheel, get the same effects, comes onto boost sooner but tops out earlier as well. Fairly sure your results with the surge slots confirmed this, came onto boost easier but topped out earlier with less peak power?

The only way I can see it working is if the surge slots are only effective at low rpm and don't leak air at higher rpm, could do something similar with a bov that purposely leaks on low load but it is all starting to sound very tricky.

Yeah the ViPEC lets you do pretty much anything you want. It's f**king amazing.

Perhaps I should get a single run done on my car with VCT turned off so I can do the same thing....hmm....

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
