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.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
