I read this three times Lith and I am no closer to understanding the first sentence.

Oops, I ment to say the .63 only showed advantage over the .82 below 3000rpm.... above that it started waking up pretty similar from memory and generally feels nicer to me. I reckon the .63 GT30 hot side is too tight for something that flows 50+lb/min.

I shouldn't post techy stuff when I have the flu :(

Its been a long year thats gone really fast, if that makes sense. Just to clarify, I've gone from .63 to .82 and I'd never go back to the .63 - the .82 is smoother and imho generally more fun - results in a much more knock resistant setup and boost control is noticeably easier, makes it seem like its the right match to me.

A .82a/r GTX3071R would be really really fun I reckon.

Are you saying the 0.82 made similar power to the 0.63 even between 3-4000rpm? I would have thought while the 0.82 is building boost through this rev range the 0.63 would be going hard.

I do agree with all the other advantages of the 0.82 I just would have thought the 0.63 would be ahead to around 4000rpm.

When loaded up against a dyno you might be able to tell the difference, but in the real world IN MY OPINION the difference starts becoming a case of you'd have to go from a car running the .63 and then jump back into one running .82, and back and forth and have a big think about it to try and work out which is which if you hadn't been told which was running what... assuming they were both otherwise identical. The way I remember it there was a slightly lazy feeling sensation from 2500-3000rpm when going to the .82 which went away once above 3000rpm.

Lets put it this way, if you have a healthy stock turbo car next to mine at anything 3000rpm+ and stand on the throttle in both the difference in response negligable enough that anything that may be gained in that instant is negated almost immediately afterwards. Full boost at 3500-4000rpm doesn't mean that its dead until then.

Last question, I promise!

What do you guys think a GTX3071 with a 0.82 housing will cost when they are available in Australia? I'm trying to decide if I should get one from the US now, or be patient. If it doesn't save me any money going local, I might place this order today.

I won't be getting the manifold to suit until mid January, so I guess I could wait and see, but given that there isn't high availability of GTX3071 overseas yet (ATP has no stock, RSP has 1 left), i don't know what australian supplies will be like, or if there will be the limited-supply overcharges :P

IMHO the .63 showed its major advantage over the .82 below .63, I have had both and there is no way I'd go with the .63 again. With an old GT3071R I'd consider .63 possibly, but with the extra compressor flow of the GTX3071R I'd go .82.

I know what you mean and i mostly agree. I previously ran the gt3071 .63 on an rb25 and would do so again (with an ex gate this time). It didn't seem to give away anything up top over the .82 graphs i saw but was all in 500-750 sooner with mountains of torque from 3k. If i were to go a gtx3071 i would definitely do the .82 housing as there were already manifold pressure issues showing with the gt.

Yeah that's what I'd have expected, and yeah if I went a GT3071R I would actually definitely use the .63. The trick is the 76mm compressor is heavier and its going to be a bit laggier, no point half committing and getting the extra lag without the full extra flow.

I would LOVE to actually drive an R33 with a .63 GT3071R actually, it was my first choice - though I don't regret the option I have it'll still be nice to know what the grass is like on the other side. If I rebuild my RB25 I'd probably go to a GTX3071R, 6lb/min more flow with less lag definitely has me intrigued.

  • 2 weeks later...

U need an apples-to-apples comparison with the turbo as the only variable on exactly the same setup to make an accurate comparison. Too many other thing can cause lag (intercooler piping and size, cams, cam timing, compression ratio, exhaust, blow-by, tune)

Saw results for a GTX3076R, so far unimpressed - if I had been told it was a GT3082R I would have believed it... more power than a normal 3076 but also quite a bit more lag.

If that was the one that was run on the WRX, then apparently the turbo is bogus. It's a rebuilt turbo that the user (OP) had delivered 4 months before Garrett had released the GTX wheels. Read post #60 on page 3.

Sounds like... backpeddling ;)

Ah my bad, I hadn't seen the last post by Geoff. The GTX3071R post looks interesting though, 521hp is pretty epic- thats pretty intense. People who are familiar with Dyno Dynamics dynos, is the mode that is done in some kind of flywheel estimation? I normally take 521hp on a DD dyno to be pretty big power for a GT30 turbo.

gtx3076r with the skyline .73 AR exhaust housing (avoturbo.com) might be very interesting.....

currently using this housing with gt3076r bb core, lag in awd auto stagea until just over 2000rpm then it takes off! easy 250awkw with 450cc S15 injectors

better than stock automatic torque converter would change this again tho....

throw in 550cc injectors and the gtx3076r turbo and there's an easy 300awkw on pump gas with remap

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • 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.
