I can't agree with you there .

Garretts own GT30 and GT35 (small frame GT BB versions) maps show you that the flow rates are similar between the GT30 turbine in their 1.06 A/R turbine housing and the GT35 turbine in their bored out 0.82 A/R GT30 turbine housing .

The links to the turbine maps .

It looks to me like the GT30 turbine in the 1.06 housing size has less restriction in the lower pressure ratio zone than the GT35 has in the 0.82 housing .

The fact that the three lines in the 35's map are a gentle curve rather than a sharp rise to a point and flat lining tells me that the GT35 turbine is too big for the GT30 family turbine housings .

Purpose built (OEM) GT35 turbine based turbos use GT40 family turbine housings and not surprisingly their GT40 compressors live in GT40 compressor housings .

All i say is that i love my combo the way it is! :)

It's a 525hp turbo and i'm squeezing 330rwkw out of it, so i'm pretty sure i'm maxing it out; hence why the boost drops as the rpms increase. Once max flow, of a turbo, is reached; any increase in rpm needs to result in a decrease in boost, as you can't have more than maximum flow. (hope that makes sense)

When i'm making over 235rwkw and over 8600N of tractive torque @100km/h, what do i have to complain about :D

Just fitted the GT3076R to an RB25/30.

Engine management is Haltech S2000, closed loop boost control.

Turbo kit came with standard Garrett 5psi actuator.

Can only peak briefly at 18psi then drops to 15. 310 rwkw max.

Really would like 330 - 340

Another example here is Als. Pretty much a similar engine to mine, injector sizes, cams, only he opted for the 15psi actuator.

However Al only gained an extra 2 psi across the graph, and our curves are identical, same peak and drop, but he's got 20 kw more.

Is this the typical symptom of the IW 3076 ? or is it still crap actuators ?

If I was to fit a large can 18 psi actuator, could I achieve 21 psi flat line.

Also wouldn't mind boost to come on a little earlier

Please don't tell me to go External wastegate.

Cheers.

Just ordered the 18psi Large can Garrett actuator from ATP.

Currently 310 rwkw with GT3076R RB25/30

555 cc injectors, 256 Poncams, 044, Haltech S2000, Plasmaman 72mm TB

Anyone wanna predict the kws with an extra 6 or 7 psi.

:D

Hate to thread hijack but better than starting a new one. Does anyone have any pics of their dump/front setup with a iw gt30? I've got a bellmouth one at the moment but it seams way too restrictive, looking for ideas for a new one. Thanks

:down:

PROBLEM SOLVED :D

Large can actuator fitted.

Had to re-thread it to attach it to my lever. No big deal.

Holding 22 psi flat as f$#@

Could get 24 out of it but injectors are maxed.

Full boost also 700 rpm sooner than before, response is just brilliant.

336.7 rwkw and 1120 Nm

Gets up and goes like a 15 year old boy havin his first root.

what do these actuators cost?

$59 US plus $20 freight from the states.

Couldn't find any in Oz

ATP have em.

Rated at 18psi but we can dial it down to 14.

The large can is better for response and tunability.

Got a link? Would this suit a Ford GT35?

Top work conan.

I saw the same issue with mine before/after cams. Held the same max 17psi regardless that it was making 30rwkw more. Big head actuator problem solvered.

Also saw the same on a mates GT35r .82 at around 300rwkw even though a GT35r at 300rwkw is hardly working. Stiffer actuators are the way to go on IW turbos.

Hi mate,

I'm running a 3076r too and was wondering if the above mentioned actuator is a straight fit replacement?

Depends on the setup... Std exh manifold will require a slight kink to be placed in the rod.

Aftermarket.. well that depends on your specific setup.

The 18psi large can actuator has a straight rod - have a look at yours and see if there is a kink in the rod or if its straight.

As for bolt up. Providing there is clearance it will bolt up.

Thanks mate,

My 3076R has a bent rod and i'm using a custom low mount manifold...how would i be able to use the straight rod 18psi actuator in this case?

ok so shipping from ATP is $95 - f**k that!!! Is that what you paid conan? It would cost them $20us max for express

I spoke to MTQ they have a "small can" 19psi actuator there for $135 does that sound like it would do the job?

I am getting my car tuned in a couple of weeks and want to try remove every possible weakness before it goes on the rollers

RB30DET with internal gate XR6 GT35R currently holding 15psi with the standard actuator but next tune i want to up it to 22psi so thinking I will need the higher PSI actuator

What is the benefit of "Large Can" ?

No mate, send ATP an email to sales, say that you want this item and ask for a standard freight to Australia.

Forget tracking or registered postage. It's only an $60 item

I mentioned the excessive shipping for such a small item and they returned to me with $20 US for shipping.

Ask for a full invoice with instructions for payment and that's it.

Large can holds higher boost pressures more accurately, provides better response and tunability.

You won't be disappointed and the cost is bugger all. Took 10 days to arrive.

We can tune it from 14 to 24 psi flat line. That's pretty damn good tunability for an actuator.

We had to cut the straight rod and re-thread it to connect to my waste gate lever.

I'll take some pics tomorrow...

    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
