Made 286rwkw from 5558 on stock mani low mounted 98 fuel, boost 18psi dropping to 16. Told tuner to push it to 20-22psi but intake temps getting too hot. He said forward facing plenum will help cos it doesnt run along radiator and over exhaust cams as stock piping layout.. Its cold beside battery tray but heats up the next few centimeters.. Oh man that damn 300rwkw

Good work Ron!

How does it feel on the road? Does it compare to the 335kw machine you went in?

Also, who tuned it? JEM?

First impressions- L-A-G----- boy its as doughy as f**k, maybe at 60% of the stockers response up till 3500rpm, after that its coming coming then 4000rpms WHOA BANG it fkn grenades like a rocket, not much difference in seat of pants feel to the 336rwkw car, feels almost, say 90% as mad when boost is on its on! Skates and wheelspins a bit but not too mad, its awesome but the lag is just way too much, I havent driven a ' proper turboed' car so cannot judge, when I come back frm my overseas trip on Jan, u can drive it and gauge Jase, love it but the lag sucks, theres no power below 3200rpms... Is this how its suppposed to be?? 2990rpms=60kw, 3790rpms=120kw, 4720=225, 5470=260kw, 6660rpms=286rwkw

Cant upload dyno graph from iphone in the dyno results thread damn.. Anyways fullboost 18psi around 4000rpms and drops to 16psi from 5700rpms, JEM are awesome, ADAMs a top guy definitely recommend him really goes out of his way to help and explain, takes his time to go through detail by detail :)

sounds a little bit laggier than my old GTST with a 3071R on it... mine was tuned at 20 psi... see attached dyno

the different is the PT will have a lot more in it! chuck it on e85 :P

I wonder how that would compare to a standard G3 type B... For on road feel anyway.

Get the sheet up when you can, I would love to see it.

Hi guys,

I've been following this thread with quite a bit of interest and thought I'd share some info on my project.

I running an FJ20det which I swapped from my old DR30 skyline into my 1600. The previous turbo setup used a Fantasy split pulse single waste gate manifold and a twin scroll GT3071r and made 265rwkw on 22psi.

I have since built my own twin scroll manifold with twin waste gates for the 3071r. I have also built a manifold for a Vband in and out Precision 5558 which a friend of mine sources from PJs Quick Bits. I will be doing a back to back test of both these turbos on my FJ in the next few weeks and will post the results.

Cheers

Awesome that will be interesting, what fuel and engine spec? That Precision turbo should have a big edge on potential for power advantage but may need to be pushed harder than 22psi to prove it's extra lag is worth it

The engine has been rebuilt with forged piston and port work to the cylinder head. Cams are still standard. I will definitely run som proper boost through the 5558 as that's what they are made for!

I currently run two maps and I will have both tuned for each turbo set up. One for pump 98 and the other for pump 98+water injection provided by an aquamist HFS3 system. Made 295 rwkw @ 28 psi using pump 98+water injection with the 3071r. This is compared to 304 rwkw using c16. I can't speak highly enough of the water injection and once you have set up and tuned it, it's cheap as chips to run. 30 rwkw when ever you want for under a grand fitted and tuned! Can't argue with those results!

I dont think it is.

that's not why I questioned it lol, look at the power he made. 295kw. Given that he also said water injection = free 30kw, a 3071R would make 265rwkw on 18psi without hassle. Not 28psi lol.

    • 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 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
