i have the set up u are putting on my car. 3076r with .82 housing and 38mm gate off standard exhaust manifold. it is an awesome turbo setup. on 16psi with step 1 cams and built engine i made 285kw with a very conservative tune (very little timing, rich afr's). My next step is to push the standard exhaust manifold as far as it can go to see if how far over 300kw it will go. I have noticed that most of the setups that stop making power around the 300 mark are using the .63 housing.

the stock cams are 350 capable, wait for ash to chime in. but im a believer anyhow.

stock manifold begins to hold you back above 300, the .63 doesnt seem to be an issue tho, its doing the numbers provided used with a good manifold and gate.

you wont get much more than 320kw out of the 0.82 version on pump fuel (98) you need E85 or some other exotic fuel/effective octane enhancer to get much more

Ye that's pretty much where the upper limits are going to be.

E85 would see you around the 350rwkw marker. Maybe a tad more, maybe a tad less, always subjective.

I was making 270rwkw @ 17psi with a bad 3" exhaust, factory cams, GTS-R manifold.

Held to 8000rpm no problems (GT3040/600hp).

I wish I'd had a chance to test it with a proper 3.5" exhaust that flowed nicely, would have seen over 300rwkw without much of a fuss was the general consensus and this was what… 4 years ago now.

Ended up making 370rwkw on 104 octane/24psi. Guilty-Toy made ~350rwkw factory head with a GT35 in a 3ltr not that long after.

45ULT - most setups (RB25/30s) have all run out around the 300rwkw marker factory exhaust manifold… a few have tried to go further and not really seen much gain. I believe some of those were using GT35's are well.

Change the manifold as well and then I think there was around a 20-30rwkw gain, and nicer midrange once everything was flowing inline with requirements so perhaps have a dig in the RB30 section of the forum.

I'm all for taking stock parts to untested waters, many said for ages you couldn’t make 300rwkw on factory cams (RB25 & 26)… and now there is a good number of cars over that. Some RB26’s making 380rwkw – factory cams!

It would just seem however the RB25 exhaust manifold just don’t have much to offer. That’s not to say there is anything wrong with it. Just don’t hope for much more than 300rwkw, and if you make more then count yourself lucky (but remember a manifold change, could well offer some decent $$ vs gain improvements)

what about extrude honing the exhaust manifold? has anyone had much sucess with this? I am still keen to see how much past 300kw i can get on the stock manifold before i switch to high mount. If i can get close to 320kw i might not even change the setup

yeah i realise this, i will look into a ETM item towards middle/end of this year.

aslong as i get close to 280-300rwkw fullboost 4000rpm nice strong mid range, set limiter to 7500rpm and plan on running 21psi if needed .

just hope its more fun then what i had before being the slowest 300kw ive ever felt.

yes that is correct one screws into the block and the other joins up to the metal piping that runs back behind the head. i want to know the thread size thats on the banjo bolt that screws into the block :)

brain fart, one of them screws into the block on the exhaust side (-6 fitting), the other goes behind the engine and plugs onto some coolant hose under the intake.

Dash 6 fitting like he said lol

Updates Justin?

placing order today for speedflow fittings / hose / firesleeve

me and tuner decided to weld the 50mm gate off the stock exhaust manifold now, saves hacking up a .82 turbine

we are going to try and fit a 4" intake aswell

then on the 5th we strap it 2 rollers and throw 21psi in it haha see what it produces

yes im replacing it with a -6 speedflow fitting barbed but wont the speedflow fitting need to screw onto a adaptor with -6 on the speeflow end and whatever thread on other end that goes into the block? i think im just a bit dumb lol

    • 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.
