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.

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • 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.
