How would a GTX3076 go with a 0.63 rear housing ( external) assuming it had either water/meth or E85??

assuming it had 22psi, would it be a fail or quite good?

You have the perfect housing, don't change it to the .63 or you will have more issues with det than you have now.

I doubt your engine is that coated in carbon that the compression would have been bumped, Can you get a scope down there for a look? If it is just drop the head off and clean it up, if its not there are some serious issues with your setup Mark.

Im starting to think its to do with the tuner, he didnt take very long, most of it was done within an hour, on the graph its only holding 16psi and you'd think he would of said, "mate, there only mild cams, you got some issues with leaks somwhere", it even stalled on him on the drive home, i think fix up this leak and possibly change the wastgate spring for a 1bar spring and even replace the resonator and then retune with E85.

My standard GT series made good power at only 21psi with .82 rear and full boost is 3800 or something.... So no need for smaller rear I don't think...

how long would it take to clean the motor if your running ethanol? or would that matter if your running ethanol?

Mine had a little carbon on the pistons, a quick squirt of gasket stripper cleaned them right up. Its a 150,000k engine so it should have been fairly caked.

The ethanol wont ever ping with a good tune and it's cheaper to run than 98 now the price dropped. (United) Shame the only outlet in Qld is Warwick, how close are you?

How well did it hold boost in the high rpm?

Did it drop off towards redline?

It used to drop off too 18psi by red line, tuner said if we could hold boost up top it would crack well into the 400's..

Warwick? im pretty sure theres some close by , well 40mins away at kessels rd mt gravatt which is on the way to the city anyway. :yes:

That would be from the pump, so is it right in saying the tuner will tune it not on the egde to account for if the ethanol content varies?

United is at Warwick.

Ethanol variation isn't a problem, even 10% variation would hardly change the afr's. I guess I have no worries with it as I bought a wideband, perhaps you should lash out $200 on a gauge too if you decide to go with e85?

Every tune is rich on boost, how much so depends on what your tuner is comfortable with. The Jap tuners love 10:1 on petrol with shitloads of timing, here around 12:1 and a less aggressive timing map is the norm. Either of these tunes should have enough overhead for a fair amount of variation and it should never ping anyway. Just make sure your tuner has e85 experience (although most would by now.)

I'm running 19-20:1 on cruise at the moment with no adverse effects, no knock and good exhaust temps. Try that with petrol, it wont run well and you would f*ck your engine fairly quickly I assume.

You need to get out more.

Caltex goodna

caltex springfield

caltex yamanto

Caltex goldcoast (suburb escapes me)

Caltex upper m Gravatt

All carry Eflex. I fill up at the yamanto outlet regularly and have used most of the others.

Plans are underway for a major increase in outlets, A new plant is being built in north qld right now.

Once completed you will see a major increase in the number of outlets.

any word if this major increase will stretch to NSW?

Nation wide from what I can glean.

The plant is definitely under construction as we speak. A friend has a supply contract for parts for the new truck fleet delivering cane to the plant when it opens.

That is freaking unreal. More or less the only issue I have with moving to ethanol is its availability.

If its more readily available in my area and on the way to wakefield I would happily retune my shitbox to run it.

Anyway, GTX bla bla bla.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
