bigmikespec, just want some advice from an expert.. wat are the pros n con of having and not having the surge cover for "my" application on this turbo?

i want to run about 25-30 psi on the street on e85 and keep winding it up for race til it tapers off the power/boost curve...

If you are running a 3L definitely go it to avoid surge issues. 2.5L I'm not sure, you might get away with it, anyone got any first hand advice?

If these cars teach you anything, it's patience....

Every 6766 should have the anti surge cover!! The turbine wheel is too damn efficient. Put a back pressure guage on it and you will see.

THIS IS A POST FROM THE SUPRA FORUM BY SOUND PERFORMANCE WHO HAS TESTED A FEW ON SUPRA'S..

Edited by Ryan1200

Not necessarily; if there is low exhaust manifold back pressure in relation to boost pressure then the turbine wheel is able to utilise more exhaust gases to spin rather than the gases just build up and create back pressure.

True but if the wheel is just smaller then it is going to spin up faster anyway, so you could half the size, make back pressure ridiculous and it would spin up about 10x faster. That's why I don't really get why it is a factor in how much it is going to surge, surge is usually just too much compressor flow for the motor at x rpm.

What do you mean back pressure gauge, as in exhaust side pressure?

I agree rolls it's a bit of unusual statement to make in that context.. Maybe they have done back to back testing of the exhaust wheels and found for a given boost pressure the back pressure is much lower and spools much faster.. Who knows..

Hey gentz,

Ive been meaning to pump my mods into my motor for a while now,

BUT I keep going around in circles :(

Ive got an R34 GTR with a standard motor (stock bottom end RB26) - GTR is currently equiped with a full exhaust (which I will need to change as current setup is @ 2.5inch dump and 3 inch outlet to catback) AND a ARC custom air filter (panel).

I was either going to put in 2860-9's (twins) or now considering putting in PT 6262 BB.

- With the -9's (ill hit anywhere b/w 330kwatw to 350kw on pump fuel, 380kw+ on E85) - with support mods ofcourse (refer below)

- With the 6262 (ill hit anywhere b/w 380kwatw on pump fuel, and 420+kwatw on E85) - with support mods ofcourse (refer below)

The question IS, is running massive amounts of boost on the 6262 to produce 400kwatw+ viable on a stock motor (Im trying to avoid building the motor which has approx 50K km on it - due to extra $ required for rods, pistons etc..)

Support mods:

- Need to change the exhaust anyway to open up top end (will get 3.5 to 4 inch turbo/dump back regardless of which option)

- Already got: Haltech Platinum Pro, Tomei Adjustable Cam Gears

- Need to get: 1000cc ID Injectors, twin fuel setup + regulator, fuel rail to match injector bore, Tomei 260 camshafts (single turbo option) + Manifold + Gate, e85 equipment (sensors)

Those are the rough mods, above figures have been confirmed by Powertune in Fairfield. Though I would like to get feedback from anyone who has previously ran MASSIVE amounts of boost on these PT's on stock motor and how they are holding up (preferably on RB26's).

Thanks.

If you want to run 400kw on a stock motor reliably you will almost certainly want to run exhaust temp sensors for tuning and trim each cylinder individually, or just run it massively rich and be conservative of timing. Any detonation at that level will kill it pretty quick smart.

How good is your tuner?

Thanks for your feedback Rolls,

The tuner would be PowerTune (who have posted up a few posts/comments in previous pages).

They are most likely going to tune feeding of the sensors currently in my GTR (i.e. no new sensors going in apart from increased boost rating sensor and ethanol sensor for e85).

i would strongly advise you to get your tune checked out after to ensure everything is okay.

had my car done twice there only to find issues with the tune afterwards and ended up costing me more money in the end to fix up his mistakes.

You sound fairly switched on so I wont delve into massive detail regarding supporting mods, just search long and hard and make sure you have every supporting mod possible before chasing your power goals.

Two things I want to touch on and a recommendation:

2860 -9s will NOT make 330-350 on pump and 380+ on E85. They will make 300-330 on pump and anyones guess on E85 (quite possibly the 350 mark).

The precisions will want a lot of boost and you are risking your factory motor in the event of a minor fauxpas. For 400kw you will want to look at a 3788R, it is the replacement for 35Rish spool and more than T04Z power. You must run it in its twin scroll form.

Please read the 'who has 400kw' thread, it is the definitive answer to your questions.

Stay away from the Precision turbo option...

Keep it twin low mounts, with good pipe work and exhaust. 400rwkw cam be had around 24psi with a set of 10cm t517z trust turbo's with good response for the power.

Cheers

Justin

Scott, a Precision will be no lazier than what you suggested with more power capability, so long as you have the correct sized turbine housing

At a lazy 20psi? Please show evidence to support.

The 3788 gets up and boogies long before 30psi

    • 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
