Low timing more boost, however you risk very high EGTs, but you can go shit rich to cool the EGTs a bit.

E85 is best in this scenario.

I finally got that PWR intercooler today and man its HEAVY . Tao I looked at the pics of yours on page 250 of this thread and yours may have slightly different tubes . Mine is flat faced on the tubes where yours looks to be rounded ? Same number 17 from memory .

I think you mentioned that you used JJR pipes on the yellow R34GTT and they are around 2 1/2" and go over the fan and link up to the std crossover pipe .

Will try to get this in soon and track down a decent 100 cell cat ie Venom 5" body one . Then hopefully back on Insights dyno for an E70 tune .

Also I think you mentioned than Tomei Poncams don't do much except add about 250 revs of boost lag , would you give them a miss on an R33 spec RB25DET ? If they're useless may have to go back to the factory 33 25T cams .

Lastly do you think the factory airbox and snorkel are good for 300 plus RWKW with a decent filter panel .

Thanks in advance cheers Adrian .

Not sure what turbo you're using but I made 290 with an ATR45, shithouse old panel filter in the stock airbox with snorkel as well as a return flow cooler. Depending on what turbo you're using I would say it's achievable.

I also just got the 100 cpsi venom 5" body cat and confirmed that my old one was probably a restriction in my system as boost comes on a bit earlier now and makes more boost for the same RPM with the exact same EBC settings. The Venom cat is a well built cat, seriously 100x better than my old one. 

 

Its a Garrett GT3076R 52T in their 0.82AR integral gate T3 flanged turbine housing .

I'm back on E70 now but last on the rollers 268 RWKW on 98 Pulp . I think the fuel intercooler and a better cat will allow us to max out the ole 3076R at last . I'm chasing facts on Taos ATR43SAT ATM , he said they are a bit more responsive than the 76R .

Cheers A . 

Discopotato03: I did a couple of runs with Tomei drop in cams, far as for 380rwkws application is made 3kws differences in power and added lag. This is will also be the peek power range for a GT3076, so I don't think there will be an huge improvement in powe

About 3076 under performing, it is related to the pressure drop per my test results. So for it take its full capabilities, it will needs been able to hold boost, and you should see touch over 300rwkws internally gated on P98 fuel at 22psi.

Stock air box didn't work out so well. I ended up drilling holes under the lower half of the plastic cover, that worked great and looking stock from the top. I didn't like cats either, drop it and to a separate run to see if there are differences in power. that will shown if its restrictive or not.

Thanks Tao , I know people want to keep this thread on topic but I want to follow your ideas of making my GTS25T capable of getting the best from my turbo and maybe one of yours .

I'd like to know what you recommend for the cold side pipe that allows me to keep the factory recirc valve or which aftermarket plumb back type to use . I know some cold side pipes link up to the standard cast crossover pipe but not sure if they clear the factory airbox . Not even sure if the standard box and snorkel is good enough for 300-320 Kw performance levels . 

The pictures of your yellow R34GTT show a large elbow , I'm guessing 4" , and a pod filter . Did you box this in to keep the inlet air cool and what box do you like on an R33 GTS25T .

Once this is sorted and tuned I'd like to look at your ATR43G SAT in BB form but with the XR6 type integral waste gate 0.82 turbine housing .

Thanks in advance cheers Adrian .

Plazmaman piping, then go weld on your favourite plumb back BOV.

I can supply you Plazaman pipe work like my car, you'll probably ignore this post like every other post I write that's informative.

No not ignoring at all , and thanks for your pics because they answer a few questions , like keeping the factory R33 airbox and how neat your external gate setup is . A recirc valve mount plate could be made with a barb on it and joined to the one on the back of the U pipe with a rubber hose .

Only problem with that cold pipe style is that it runs right over the top of where my fuel reg is but it could probably be moved . Can't see yours .

On topic , that looks like when you had the gate off your Hypergear turbos turbine housing and before the turbo was upgraded . I like the sound of Taos ATR43G SAT in BB form but I'd need an XR6 style turbine housing because that's what my 3076R has with 3 1/2" dump to suit . I'm not a big fan of Garretts GT30 turbine and Taos certainly put a mountain of turbo/turbine development into his units .

Also if those 256 Poncams do SFA except add agro I can put the originals ack in . I'd rather have a little better turbo response and forsake 3 Kw up high .

One last one for Tao , you revised the turbine in your ATR45SAT and gained response with no power loss . Is this something that could be considered for the ATR43GSAT turbo ?

Thank you Jonny and Tao for your input its much appreciated .

Cheers Adrian . 

 

 

 

Hi Adrian, The ATR43's current turbine wheel is about perfect for the housing and comp wheel  size. Its just right been able to match flow the compressor and just out side of the lower surge limit of the Rb25det engine. So I won't be doing any more modifications to the turbine side at this stage unless changes made to the compressor or housings. With the turbine housing, I might be able to use your GT30 turbine housing and get similar result, but preferred to run the default housing it comes with the turbo.

I will keep this post updated with my FB time line in the next few days.

First up is the anti surge sleeve insert that we started doing this year. Or some people prefer to call them the T51R mod. This can be carried out to various housings, details about it can be found on our site.:

It doesn't affect turbo's performance if the compressor housing has already been Anti-surge slotted. But will change the induction sound pitch.

Over the years, I've noticed many former RB lovers switched to Barras :4_joy: . The bolton XR6 turbo project is also in progress. I will post our Barra results as project moves along. 

Car made 406rwkws @ 19psi on P98 fuel internally gated with supporting mods:

Ok i just picked up a 2nd hand ATR45SS, anyone want to swap their rb dump adaptor for a vband one? Can do cash your way. Its been cut by the previous owner and id prefer to use my current dump.

Anyone run an atr45 on stock manifolds?

Yep, stock intake manifold and stock exhaust manifold but is internally gated. What do you want to know?

How tight of a fit is it? Doesn't foul on anything?

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
