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....

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
