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...

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
