Just saw a post on Facebook of another 25T with one of these going on a 25/30 backed up against an auto - should be a couple running around at least in the near future.

Any progress with yours?

Keep me posted with how that one goes, mate.

Mine is about a week or two away... manifold flange change is done (T3 to v-band) off for ceramic coating tomorrow or Mon.

Going to switch from a Sard to Turbosmart FPR1200, may need bigger injectors too. CDI is another 'possible' requirement.

Will also install and configure the Racelogic TC system.

Previous turbo set-up (up until earlier today) and a few random shots. IMG_7638.JPGIMG_7622.JPG

I think I may have developed a thing for titanium fasteners. $400 and counting so far, fancy blue M10x1.25 strut tops nuts included.

Nice power!!! Definitely in the range we had talked about earlier.

 

Why no rpm graph?  Hard to tell what spool would be like but the graph makes it look like it could be later than I expected.   Any reason it was stopped at 26psi?

 

 

I got gtx3582 gen2 0.83 a/r ts t3 in r34gtr dyno on 4th gear.

Also plumb back 3.5 inch exhaust.

made 650awhp(480kw) @28psi. 

Response not that good on the graph but I still have 3500rpm power band, and tuner did not touch the cam gear yet. hope I can get better response after adjust the cam gear.

I feel not laggy on road.  But definitely  laggy than my old gtx3576.

With 1.01 a/r rear housing and more boost it should be over 750hp on all 4.

Cheers mate. Yeah made the power I was hoping it would. 

That was my stuff up, I forgot to ask Shaun to switch it across to RPM.  We are yet to switch to the 4-port Mac valve so hopefully further improvement in response to come. 

Shaun strongly suggested we leave it at 26psi for reliability and longevity. I wasn't going to argue with my engine builder and tuner. The same guy who will look after me if something goes wrong.. provided I follow his advice :14_relaxed:

Makes sense, probably could have gone a bit smaller if you weren't after full effort though.

When do you get to drive it?  Did you get any impression from the dyno or real world what the spool is like?

True, although this way there's potential for gains down the track.

I'm hopeful we can improve response. Yet to drive it as there's still a few things to do.

Hi mate do you know what the size of your turbo's vband inlet size?

Cool, Good luck!  Cheers for updating with results, if it can make 525kw on 26psi or so the hotside isn't too shabby.  Would be very interesting to know what they can do on kill and what the boost threshold is like, if they aren't too much laggier than the 3582 then they would be a really good thing

Thanks mate. No problem at all, always happy to share my experiences, good or bad.   I am confident we can improve the boost curve to get it coming on harder and therefore area under the curve.

Some further info from the dyno session on Wednesday evening; Shaun spent the first 10mins adjusting base pressure and checking the fuel mixtures, as we'd switched from a Sard FPR to new TS FPR1200. Once A/FRs were optimised he did a power run. 421kW at 10psi creeping to 19-20psi. After a quick change of wastegate line configuration and boost control adjustments the second run produced 463kW at about 24psi. At about this point I started getting concerned it wasn't going to produce the goods!  

The next run, with boost set at 25psi, resulted in 488.6kW. Shaun could obviously see the early signs of disappointment starting to show on my face and said to me 'don't give up on me yet mate!' accompanied by a grin. The next run, it made 499.2kW. The gains were all coming from adding timing. GTX3584RS was continuing to make gains where the old FP GT3586R had nosed over at 25-26psi and extra boost and timing simply didn't make any extra power.

Run after run it kept climbing, 503.3, 507.7, 513.X, 525.3kW

I am confident it would keep making gains with additional boost provided the engine doesn't hit a restriction somewhere. 560-580kW at 30-32psi would be my guess. 600 is a possibility with a decent head/cams set-up and everything else optimised and set to kill.

Down the track at some stage I will get to find out.  

   

          

       

   

 

 

There are literally no other engine changes from when it had the 3586. Same everything bar a switch from T3 flange to v-band flange on the exhaust manifold - but same manifold. Same dump, same intake etc.

It is as close to a back-to-back as we could get.

 

I'm guessing hotside.

That is quite interesting!  What about the spool difference?   Do you know what rpm it's reaching 20psi by?  What was it before?


As soon as I get a chance I'll get Shaun to overlay the two runs. It's laggier, as I expected. Plus it isn't coming on as hard with the current boost control and w/gate set-up.

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
