Hey guys,

A few months ago, I showed you guys my brand new Garrett gt3076r (with the 3037s core) and a .63 exhaust housing external gate:

I really wondered if it was ever going to be put onto the car as there were set backs for both me and Sam repeatedly.

The initial idea was to have a special adapter that had the screamer pipe attached to it and went inbetween the turbo and the stock manifold and tucked the gate right under the manifold to be hidden, it looked great on Sam's rb25 motor when he was testing fitting it.

Unfortunately it wouldn't fit on my car,even after shaving it down as much as possible, as we worked out because it is a 33 GTS4, it has higher chassy rails (same as a GTR) then a standard GTST, so after waiting months for it to be completed it had to be scrapped.

We then opted to simply weld the gate onto the back of the turbo, I was disappointed as the gate would be alot more visible and I would have to make holes in my new precious turbo, but didn't want to go with internal gate. post-36975-1273567668_thumb.jpg

over the past 2 weeks I did most of the work myself with Sam giving me help and advice every step of the way and finally the car was ready to get onto a tilt tray to his shop on Friday.

He fixed up a few loose ends that I forgot about/couldn't do and called me last night to pick it up.

Now all I can say is it is great to see the hard work and money I have put into it have paid off.

Here are the results and before and after with my previous turbo.

Loose ends: it doesn't have a blow off valve at the moment as the afm is relocated too close to the standard bov position so need to get it placed somewhere else, running on a bleed valve which is absolutely fine, but I already have a gizzmo ms-ibc and would like to use it. Also I am going to heat shield the whole thing so hopefully it can be somewhat hidden.

Also, quite sure the exedy cushion button is not holding 100%, whats the next step up? say from 300-350rwkwish?

Summary: We got it up to 295rwkw but wanted to make sure it was safe, so at this level, the highest knock is 20.

It has full boost (18psi) at 3,400rpm in 4th, pulls you back really well all the way to red line, it was slipping on the dyno so had to have 2 guys sitting on back and the screamer is ridiculous, way too loud, so I will plumb that back in.

P.S I will try to get some videos up soon

Why does the run stop early? (Thats twice now Sam in a week, take them to 7500rpm! :))

Make sure the exhaust plumb is nice is about the only thing ya need to worry about.

I could feel a bit of a drop when i had my GT30 external and then plumbed as the exhaust wasn't the best back then :D

So be mindful is you plumb and there is a bit of a drop that'll be what the cause is!

Doesn't look too savage onto boost actually - nice and controllable curve!

when you say drop, drop in power, torque or both?

your right interms of boost, it has a building up sort of feel as oppose to the on/off smack boost feel but i was going to worry about that further down the track, plus this is my only car so want to keep it somewhat comfy.

1 thing I have found interesting, even though this has heaps more torque/power, it "feels" slower, I think that is partially because I havent put the front drive shaft back in and the car just keeps skidding, but im not sure whether it is also the clutch having something to do with it.

Very nice, at the end of the day GT3071 and 3076 are by far the best bolt on option for skylines... even the internal gate ones work a treat.

Killer to see it pulled 224 on sams dyno, my memory is shit so i pulled your old hypergear file (jan 09) and it pulled 224 here too :)

The power was slowly dipping as you can see boost maintaining right near the end of the graph - just wondering what would have occured if another 1000rpm was utilised.

Similar to the hypergear thread at the moment with the run ending soon (ye i know that was boost control somewhat related)

So more interests sake to see if it was indeed nosing over like the graph might suggest.

Ye its actually more progessive than i would expect a .63 rear housing to otherwise be. I would have thought it to be a bit more savage actually.

Wondering if boost control is setup that way to make it more streetable as a side question?!?!?! :)

You'll soon find out if its clutch once you get all 4 wheels turning :thumbsup:

wow mafia they are so similar, I'd guess the reason mine has about ~15-20kw more at the speed lines up to 6000 due to higher compression motor?

tell me, because I have not seen my torque graph and based on yours, do you find yours is also a progressive build up or a light switch type of boost?

Thats true, maybe hey. My motor was just a stocko though.

How is yours built?

I didn't find it to be like a light switch, it was quick building, but definately had a progressive feel.

If you really knocked it back a gear and hammered it it could come on like a light switch.

Beautiful to drive though! Get your torque up if you can

ahhh yeh, built.... well......ehhmm.... stock n/a pistons, stock n/a rods, stock n/a headgasket, stock n/a rings... catch the drift? :thumbsup: (live life 2 testicals at a time)

jokes aside Im definitely going to do the head gasket next when have cash to be safe, a healthy motor is extremely important to me.

and what you have said interms of how it drives is exactly as mine feels, if in gear it builds up fast with a decent pull back but drop a gear and basically light switch and minimal traction in 2wd :)

....and I bought new tyres 2 days before I put this in!

Thanks for all the support guys, really makes me proud of whats been achieved and proves that setting realistic power goals with sufficient funds and equipment actually gives you a great chance of achieving what you want.

dont bother with the HG, it should be sweet as is.

The NA's down low response and power seems to be lot more responsive. Good result. My SS-3 prototype with built in ExWG is almost finished in subject to out run GT3076s. Will be a good comparison in few weeks time.

    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
