There's no doubting it's a cracking result, though I'd be interested to see it run on the rollers again after that screamer is given the heave-ho. :thumbsup:

Every time I see an EW setup and results of boost control, it's pretty clear that the effort and expense is well justified. It's a real bugger that you had to go away from the original plan, but if it won't fit, it won't fit. Grafting a pipe onto the housing obviously works, just doesn't look that elegant and makes it difficult to swap housings if the need/want arises.

Couple of comments about the DE+T spec: I've got a set of those 25DE pistons, not a bad thing but they do have sharp edges around the valve cutouts. Can be knock-inducers so keep that in mind. Also the DE block does not have under piston oil squirters. The oil jets take temps out of your pistons, so be aware if you intend taking this thing to a track and running consistent high rpm/load.

Given you're powering a GTS4, this engine/turbo spec would be quite satisfying on the street, vs a GTR which would work in a different rev range.

Ahh so another DE+T conversion.

You know if I had a RB25DET and I blew the motor, I'd grab a DE and use that instead. Or even put DE pistons in a DET block to retain the oil squirters as Dale has mentioned.

Wicked build nonetheless - I can imagine having that much compression, it would build boost FAST, especially running such a small rear housing. The reason my power levels are so close with a Turbo compression motor is because I run water methanol injection - and this means I can run a lot more timing.

Imaging WMI on the DE motor... Would be insane.. Problem is, with such high compression, if the kit died it wouldn't take that long to kill the motor. But, I would think the DE motors are just as strong, if not stronger than the Turbo motors. This is just a guess but would the pistons have more meat on them, or is the gudgen pin height just a little lower?

I love this thread - Thanks for sharing it with us mate. You're a champion.

this is great to see a setup basically what i was looking at so i have an idea on what it will do, thats more power than i was looking for so i am excited to get the 3076 all up and going now onto my car!!!!

Stao, it will be an interesting comparison, your prototype looks really good.

Thanks for the interesting info Dale. I only took this to winton when it was non turbo, but I have been wanting to get to some track days, so the higher piston temps is something I will have to think about.

Jono your very welcome, thanks for posting up you dyno, I will have to get the torque graph off Sam. interms of boost building fast, it is under a second delay from foot down to boost and have always enjoyed that about the car as so far it has been a 98% daily.

thought i'd crawl under the car and show you guys the screamer:

Adam, please don't be gay. Plumbed back external gates are for girls :D

Yes the sound has grown on me, but i have spent that much time and money on it that I would hate to have to take it all back to standard and jump through all the hoops the cops make me do just for the sake of a few db of loudness. as long as I can make it still have the same power plumbed back and a bit of gate noise I will be happy.

and for those who dont like getting pineappled by the boys in blue

exactly

Where did you get the bell mouth insert for the intake? you mentioned the HKS core....was it a broken 3037-S that you had rebuilt with a Garrett turbine housing?

see this is the thing that I dont get. I purchased it brand new fully assembled from a Garrett distributor as a gt3076r with .60 inlet and .63 exhaust. but the core says 3037s, I thought that was a HKS model or core or something they did?

and the bell mouth insert came with the larger Garrett anti surge front housing, but we havent needed to use it as yet as there is no issues with surge.

all 3076s have 3037 written on the badge, its their code under the old garrett naming system before they switched to using compressor diameter for the second 2 numbers. there was a thread a while back with details of where to get bell mouth inserts iirc

Package drives so smoothly... Looking forward to doing a 3076 twin scroll on my R32 GTS4 RB25DE+T... Might even try E85 with it :happy:

Adam - I'd be interested in seeing the difference with / without the insert and gate plumbed back... Let me know when you're ready and we'll work something out :blush:

That's a rather impressing result as i along with many others here would have thought the .63 would have been incapable of these sort of numbers without special fuel or water/meth injection based on "mafia's" results some time back.

What makes it even more strange is that u would think the higher comp motor would be more prone to det with the small turbine but yet u pull it off with knk no more than 20

This shows us that the true Garrett .63 is capable of nice numbers and its a shame that we dont have more results with that turbine as it seems to be the trend now just to go for the larger .82

Happy to do it Sam, i'm interested aswell, give me a little time to get some cash back up and we'll chat, i really want to avoid loosing any power/torque by plumbing it back in.

I managed to open up the hole on the heatsheild to fit the new pod you gave me(see below), looks good imo and at least thats 1 less thing to be defected for. will do the other heatsheild to hide turbo over the weekend.

If you gate next to a cop you deserve to be canary'd lol.

There is definitely an argument for street cars to have external gates plumbed back in, but seriously, how could you happily remove the glorious sound Adam's car is making.

Yes the sound has grown on me, but i have spent that much time and money on it that I would hate to have to take it all back to standard and jump through all the hoops the cops make me do just for the sake of a few db of loudness. as long as I can make it still have the same power plumbed back and a bit of gate noise I will be happy.

I completely understand the argument. It's an experience I've been through before. But I can only imagine how your car currently sounds, and feel it would be a loss to other road users to lose that external gate noise :(

I'm going to have to learn to drive sensibly again once my external gate in on my car. I tend to use it as a self control mechanism so I don't drive like a dickhead haha.

lol you make a valid point ie, if you gate next to a cop... but in this case its more if he is in the surrounding suburb.... havent had a chance to get a video of the car, but will do my best for this weekend.

    • 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.
