IMHO the 3071 w genuine housing is definately the best turbo choice for an RB25 in the current climate (2835 being number 1 but cost prohibitive these days)

BUT..........

if i had my time again i would be going a twin scroll 3076 with a 6 boost manifold and GTR plenum

I thought the consensus from discopotato was that the twin scroll didnt have a big effect on 6 cylinder engines, more 4 cylinders.

The 6 boost manifold is probably a bit separate as it would help all of the turbos we are discussing.

If you plot your current turbo against the 3076 you have more area under the curve.

hence the twin scrol idea.... i thought it would get me a little more under the curve but not much, hence why i wouldn't change over to that setup, it's just what i'd look at doing if i had my time again :P

actually if i had my time again, i'd probably have just done an LS3 conversion

yeah the reason disco said twin scroll is more suited for 4 cyl is because the firing order and the engine is optimized to suit the firing order

like the 4g63 and sr20 are more suited for twin scroll as the firing order matches the manifold split setup

i wonder how complicated a properly twin scroll manifold on a rb20/25/26/30 footprint would look

and perform with a properl twin scroll manifold with the correct firing order match and turbo to suit

Twin turbo does not follow the firing order (in terms of GTR), where twin scroll is meant to given the parted collector/rear housing

difference - who knows, maybe a few hundred RPM?

You aren't talking 1000's of RPM of response either way.

I got 254kw at 3200rpm with r33 gcg high flow turbo. Im very happy with the response and power i have with this turbo. I only paid $850 for gcg from SAU forums and sold my stock turbo for $300. So only cost me $550. i still retain factory air box and car looks very stealth. Best bang for buck turbo.

I know of people on this forum who have run 12.3s quarters with this power on semi slick street tyres.

Invest in some mickey thompson full race slicks on 15inch chaser rims and a jim berry full monty race clutch and you will run 11s with around 250kw.

Its not always about all out power. Many other factors to consider...

hey mate 254 RWKW yeh? if so thats not bad at all for a highflow especially for that price!, what injectors do you use? also how much did you get charged for installing the new highflow turbo, did it need anything different to fit it or did it slot straight in like before?

sorry for the hundreds of questions.. but with my wage, id much rather 254rwkw for $850 or $550, as opposed to 300rwkw for $3000

cheers.

I'm not sure what you mean by that? The front 3 and rear 3 alternate so with twins each manifold collects the same as a properly designed twin scroll manifold...

I sourced most of my parts from SAU second hand from good honest people, thats why i love this site..spread the love.

Paid $850 for GCG high flow only 2 years old checked by gcg , sold my stocker for $300 so cost me $550 and installed it my self, piss easy took about 5 hours and everything bolted straight back on. True direct bolton , nothing to change. If i can do it , any one can.

Apexi power fc=$950 second hand SAU

Nismo 550injec=$600 second hand SAU( need injectors to max out turbo potential)

Bosch 040 in tank fuel pump=$50 second hand SAU(needed to meet fuel demands)

Splitfire coils=$450 second hand SAU(needed to run bigger gap on my plugs, went from .7 to 1.1 coppers when i upgraded coils.

JJR return flow coooler=$450 new

3 inch exhaust turbo back full stainless=$650 wreckers

Greddy profec b EBC

Run stock air box.

Tune=$750 unigroup engineering

My set up is begging for a garrett gt3071 or 76r bolton replacement and retune but this exercise will cost me between $2500 to $3000 , to gain an extra 30kw atw on my current set up. The only way i would justify this would be to take a ride in a gtst making 280kw + . If blown away by the difference then i would do it.

For now im at peace with what i have.

Hope i helped.

No offense - do you know how to read a dyno sheet?

You have 254rwkw @ 6750rpm. Not 3200rpm.

You have ~135rwkw @ 3200rpm

You also have boost control issues.

I stand corrected

Thankyou for teaching me to read a dyno, thats why i love this site, you never stop learning

What i should have said is that you will have full boost 16 to 18psi by around 3200rpm with this turbo

Thanks.

Cool, yeah I was scratching my head but didnt have the knowledge to go against the president haha

So it seems a big waste to go to all the effort of twin scroll on an RB20/25 when an RB26 with twin turbos already has everything done from the factory.

So is this the major reason that twin turbos on an RB26 will have more low down power/torque then the equivalent sized single turbo conversion?

The only way i would justify this would be to take a ride in a gtst making 280kw + . If blown away by the difference then i would do it.

where you live?

i'm happy to er... "help" :(

Hey guys, similar question i thought you may be able to answer:

One turbo, running in a 220kw tune (injector and afm limited), vs the same setup, but with injectors and obviously a bit more boost (profec b) for 270kw.

Obviously off boost performance is identical, and full boost performance is waaay better, but what's the "in between" area like?

I used to have an MR2 years ago, and when boost was turned down, it was linear and boring, and with boost up, it was epic fun, but felt like it had a shitload more midrange. So i'm wondering, when i get injectors and a tune, is it likely to be a lot more midrange, or just top end stuff, it's a really laggy turbo i can't afford to replace yet (KKR560). I'd imagine it would seem more "responsive" as the wastegate would stay shut for longer before hitting full boost?

I'm just poor at the moment, but think i can afford injectors and a tune by the end of the year, as a present to myself, and want to make sure that the performance jump is as epic as i am expecting it to be :( Gavin Woods will be doing the tune, as he's a champion :(

Midrange will jump mainly but you will still get a nice top end bump.

Midrange is where its at anyway, how often do you hit 7000 revs?

Equivalent sized SINGLE ENTRY single turbo, yes - and no its not a waste on a 20/25 as you only have to buy one turbo etc... imho. You have far more choice with single turbos, less plumbing, etc. Try working on a Skyline with a big single versus low mount twins haha.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
