I think you should spend some time trying to get the most out of what you have. I am pretty sure there is room to make more earlier.

I have an old school GT3040 on my R33 and whilst there are better things out there today it still makes power pretty much everywhere a current GT3076 (due to variance on dynos mine looks better than some and worse than others). It probably has a penalty on transient response. I have no reason to take it off and update at this point. BTW the GT3040 is the turbo that seems to most resemble what you have.

Have you got a plot with boost on it? (I might have missed it)

I would want to be sure there was no leaks, that the boost control was setup the best way possible and that the tune was perfect on the ramp to boost before I would consider removing the turbo. If you need to take it a second tuner to diagnose these things it might be worth the time and effort.

I may have an oppurtimty to swap stuff around. If I'm looking for same power. Less lag. What's the choice. Gt3076. 63? .82? Gt3071.82. Gt3071.63(seems a Tad small)

In my opinion your best bet is working out what is causing the excessive lag and fixing that up, I really don't think thats its due to the type of turbo- that is TOO laggy. I suspect any other equivalent turbo will be similar +/- a bit, and that if you change turbo setup you could end up finding the exact same thing.

I am sure that the GTX3076R may be a bit laggier than a GT3076R, but the amount of lag I see there looks more like what I'd expect from a GT40R or something like that.... there is no way a properly operating GTX3076R would be like that on an RB25.

Mini-meet incheltenham area tonight (if it doesn't rain) for those who want to feel the gtx3076 and offer this member a hand? A real world one. Not a one picture on a forum hand. Not undermining the advice (trust me I value all.thoughts and opinions but I'm hoping there is something more to this Turbo in real life than on paper)

Thoughts?

Hmm interesting. I'm waiting for this bloody boost vs rpm graph to be email to me. Hopefully shed some light.

yet think the 52t 3076 will be better. Ideally I would run the 52t 3076 with the Kando 10cm cock-up housing and a 44mm WG (tial MVR 44 etc), but welcome to 6boob land and lots of cash.

hey stop stealing my ideas :P

wouldnt need a 6boost for this combo..on paper it seems to me to be a perfect combo for a very punchy turbo that should get around 300kw with stock motor and manifold with room to grow.

Of course what seems good on paper isnt always good on the road, and the 52trim 3076 isnt cheap or I would have one by now :(

there are gt35s in here that are making boost about the same as your turbo, it is definitely laggier than I would expect. Are you going to a reputable tuner? Or is it just some backyard place?

Avo turboworld.

Can the actuator effect how it comes on boost? They Jed an avo one not a garret one.

Also link doesn't work.

Open up the rb25 dyno thread and hit search and put in gt3076 and gt35, gt3582 for some results to compare to

:rofl: Rolls

AVO tuned it and no they are not backyarders ..one of the biggest and most reputable tune shops in Melbourne..though I think their speciality is WRXS they tune can anything

Well in that case I have no idea! heh

is it possibly they don't do many RBs and have gotten it a bit wrong?

Edited by Rolls

Dunno,it is possible its a lazy tune and has more tweaking that could benefit it..

its also possible they dont want to push his engine for fear of liability issues..

maybe the engines f**ked, did you get it checked before you threw a huge turbo on it??

how is your car set up shifty..exhaust ecu injectors etc..have u told us and i missed it??

How is correctly setting up boost control not wanting to push a motor?

AVO realistically have done nothing special in the world of performance for many years. Least of all anything RB related.

It simply comes down to poor boost control. Why a HD Garrett actuator wasn't used just like everyone else uses i don't know, but its the logical place to start.

What do you suggest.

Speak to AVO and ask them what can be done to bring the boost on earlier or speak to a new tuner if you are unhappy with their answers.

It's a boost control issue so actuator + boost controller + tuning on the ramp to boost + boost leaks are places to look.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
