Hi guys. Just recently upgraded to a 3076 with a 0.86 rear running approx 19psi. The tuner could not get any more out of it. Just after your thought's on what might be restricting it or is this all i should be expecting out of the turbo. The mods are power fc, nismo 550 injec, FMIC, Z32 AFM, bosch 040, 3inch exhaust with very hi-flow cat. Not that i am wanting much more as the car is a monster to drive, just thought it had more in it ? thank's

thought u had the front facing on?

I had problems holding boost with mine so I'm putting a new filter on it before the next run and prob buy a decat pipe (like 80 buks on just jap) just to be safe

if ur intercooler and piping is a good brand then it shouldnt be that but if its not the best on the market and ur piping (or silicon hoses or clamps) are just chinese cheapys then they may pose a problem... but ill stress the word 'may'. Its probably just a good idea to check everythings all good.

It is internal wastegate, exhaust is 3 inch, plenum is standard and cat does have 3 inch pipe in it.

Is it a proper GT3076R with a 60mm turbine wheel or one of the 56mm ones?

If it's a 56mm one, consider urself lucky U have that much power. If it is a 60mm one of the new proper GT30 .82 internal gate housings then i would expect it to make a bit more.

Easy way to know is if it says 0.86, it's a crappy GT28 one, if it says 0.82, it's a proper GT30 one.

I don't see what the problem is, for that boost level the power seems spot on give or take a few kw's. Remember every dyno is differen't. How does it drive is the main thing? Does it feel like it's pulling nicely all the way to redline and trying to kill you? If so the power seems spot on. I'm sure you could probably get a little more out of it if you played around with a couple of things but don't expect too much more. What power were you expecting?

Agree with previous comments - but also wary of the reference to .86a/r exhaust housing.... are you running a T25 flange one or have you just confused .86 with .82? If you are running the GT3076R-WG they run a trimmed turbine wheel, smaller housing and lesser trim compressor wheel and 290rwkw would be very impressive going!

I'd be guessing he means that the tuner perhaps tried more boost and nothing more happened... That's my take with what little info there is.

If my assumption is correct - I'd point the finger squarely at the 3" exhaust, or something along there (hollow cat/turbulence as said earlier also).

You really do need a 3.5" when you are getting to 300rwkw and over, it just makes everything easier.

Yes. My car didn't like just a hollow hole. Hollowing out a 3" cat (the housing is larger than 3" remember), rather than piping it, it not as effective.

If it was 4" system, 5"-5.5" cat housing the difference might be less of a problem @ 300rwkw, but he is pushing the limits with 3" so minor things could upset the events.

Agreed. I made a 15rwkw gain by changing from a 3' to a 3.5' exhaust. 325rwkw-340rwkw then went on to make 360odd.

    • 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.
