Hello guys.. I just Got my Turbo package wcich is GT3040 with .63 exhaust housing, Tial 38mm wastegate and i also got an apointment with my mech. for the next thursday :) and he said after installation we power run it to see if i need to upgrade my Injectors and if so he will get me 600ccs (God help me with my fuel cunsumption ;)). so fingers crossed.

IF YOU GUYS WANT to know the resault i can post in this thread and let u all know..

JimX Thanks for you reminder pal... ;)

R31Nismoid and Rob77, his info says he has an R32. That would mean his injectors are 270cc, not 370.

ya, i was reffering to R0b77 when i was bring up all the formula's etc.

But you can substitute 370 for 270 or any other number really

and INASNT... remember it's RB20, so a .63 housing would go nicely.

0.63 is a rather small exh housing for a 3040, i got a 0.82 rear on mine

How do you knwo 0.63 is small? Check my post above. You haven't put yours on yet, might be a lag monster.

Guy here changed from 0.61 on HKS 3037 (bit smaller comp wheel only compared to 3040) to 0.87 and went from 256rwkW @ 1 Bar with full boost at 3500rpm to 280 at 1.2 bar but no boost until 5200rpm. Would be heaps slower on the road.

Gotta remember the A/R is a ratio, not an absolute number so if you have a big exhaust wheel then the area inside the exhaust housing will also be big to maintain the ratio of 0.63. And it's the area that gives the flow at the top end + the exhaust wheel diameter.

Probably find the gt3040 will spool up a bit quicker, I have a td06-20g comes on full boost around 4200rpm, thus far on 1bar we made 339hp. I have just started playing with my boost controller and wound it up to 1.1bar and it feels like its made a large difference, definately getting more wheelspin... eventually we'll get it on the dyno and tune it for 1.2bar I'll post the results when on hand.

Rob your TD06 has the exhaust housing meant for a 13B rotory, so do you really think if you gave a Garret 3040 (Internal or external gate) a 1.12 A/R exhaust housing that it would still spool up quicker.

If you used the recommended Trust housing on your car (12cm^2), then it would provide a lot more midrange hit. The response you are getting could probably be matched by the bigger Trust TD06-25g (Trust recommend 10cm^2 for an RB25...remember what Freebaggin said about A/R sizes and wheel sizes :rolleyes: )

...but this aint a thread about Trust turbos, just pointing out that a turbos characteristics can vary a lot depending on the A/R housings used.

Same guys that are putting my car together had a 3037 on a stock sr20 and made 300rwkw at 1.6bar and it had a 0.82 rear on it or similiar. The owner said it wasent laggy at all, and after seeing it being canned around the streets i agree with him.

The 0.82 seems to be the best combination for making good power without being a lag monster, as recommended by the shop that built my turbo.

Well, with 0.87 turbine housing boost is now coming in alot earlier, hard to know exactly, but experimenting with peak hold on power fc, I now get 1.2bar at 4200rpm, 3rd gear. ( and it was [email protected], not 280:D:p, 270 at 1.1bar, 300 at 1.5bar - top end was choking, which it doesnt feel like it is doing anymore:) -fitted new 90mm catback) - feels stonger everywhere now, on and off boost - but havent re-dynoed yet, so just seat of the pants, cant wait to get it up and push the redline to 8000rpm (before the exhaust upgrade power peaked at only 7000rpm before tapering back a little.)

anyways the car pulls hard, but boost doesnt come in quite as hard as with 0.61 housing (1bar at appox 3000rpm) - car was stepping out in 4th at 90-100kph and only a bit more than lazy accellerating - made it very scary to drive on the road in traffic, cos boost was like an on/off switch, and when it came on the back end would step out every time with as little as 1.2bar - the only way to control the car was by turning boost down:(

I can actually control boost with the right foot to a fair degree now, which is really nice, more boost, just push the right foot in a bit further. So gentle traffic driving, stays in traffic off boost no probs, at lights or if overtaking. I have 1.7bar set for the road, vs the 1.0 with the smaller housing.

Under 0.5bar, the boost comes in very linearly, from approx 0.5bar, she starts pulling hard.

but the best part is now I can control the boost ramp with my right foot to a fair degree, so no more surprises in heavy traffic - really is very nice to drive and very controllable.

All in all, alot better for the street, and much happier with the 0.87now, but wouldnt mind going a 0.73 to see how it compares (anybody got a spare one they want to sell/loan me?)

For interest too, and comparison to trust turbos, HKS rate their turbine housing sizes:

0.61 = 8cm

0.73 = 10cm

0.87 = 12cm

thats what the tags on the housings say when you buy them new anyways.

HKS actully recommend the 0.87 for the 3037 kit they sell for RB25.

I have done cams too (256/264) but I also dropped CR to 8.6:1 which I think it is fair to say would offset the increase from the cams to a fair degree.

anyway, sorry I waffled a bit

PS Lachlan, can you pm me the name and contact details of your dyno guy?

Cheers

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
