Hey Guys,

got an rb30 twin cam built and almost ready to drop into my car,

just wanna see if my turbo setup will be efficent enough for 400rwkw

i have a GT35 with T3 1.06 rear housing on a HKS split pulse top mount manifold.

i am using a T3-t4 adaptor plate that is around 1 inch thick.

my questions are;

will the T3 exhaust housing be restrictive?

i have someone that wants to buy my turbo should i sell it and buy the new GTX35 with t4 rear housing?

should i get a splut pulse exhaust housing to match my manifold? will if be better is these are matched?

or should i keep what i got?

Thanks in advance guys..

Dan

i had a t3 gt35r with a 1.06 rear on a etm manifold, made 670bhp @ the fly @2 bar boost. thats on a rb26/30 big cams and 8000rpm. that was its lot, we tuned boost up but no more power just heat..

Garrett didn't make a t4 twin scroll exh housing for the gt35, the only place that sells them (afaik) is ATP and the quality is questionable. That combined with the housing being so large it obscures most of the core so access to oil and water lines is very limited led to me selling mine.

Suggesting a gtx when initial results are less than promising might be leading the guy astray.

OP, the t3 1.06 should make 400rwkw assuming everything comes together but there are a lot of interesting developments in this size range so it might pay to hang tight and watch the results starting to roll in (gt/gtx/efr/precision).

I am looking a Borg Warner s366 turbo, can get one for a good price. only thing is there is not many people using them here in Aus.

in america they seem to be popular..

just worried it could be abit laggy..

specs are:

Twinscroll T4 flange V band out beveled 4.21" Full Marmon flange

.91 turbine a/r

Flows upto 80lbs/min

Supports upto 800hp

included: T4 mounting gasket and oil drain gasket

Turbine housing V band outlet can be machined down to a flat 4" upon request after purchase if desired

Thoughts??

400rwkw on pump with 35r 1.06 is possible but most setups go just shy of there. Definately a good aim point. If you've got some higher octane fuel you'll get there probly over. I honesty think that the 35r is the perfect turbo for the RB30/26. If you want the twin scroll version get this with 1.00AR divided housing:

Forced performance turbos have never let me down for power and response.

I have the ATP twin scroll GT35R with 1.06 rear housing, check our Project Car thread for pictures of the set-up.

Should be on the dyno by the end of next week for its first run. Although its an RB25 it might give you an idea of what the turbo is capable of?

Thanks for replys guys,

car is a Silvia s14, managed to get the bonnet to close over the weekend have to re design sump ( Dry sump set up).

And am going to use E85 too.

But still pretty keen to swap for T4 housing.

What are you guys running on the intake side of things? OEM plenum and TBs? what size intercooler? standard Valve springs still? 

im still running through hoops trying to crack 400kw on 98ron. im currently running a 75mm intercooler and suspect that it might be at its end. Saving the $$$ for a decent 100mm core.  any thouhgts?  

my setup

rb26/30 + oem rb26 cams

Everyone i have talked to has said you need at minimum a 100mm thick intercooler with 3" in and out.

OEM RB26 intake is fine as is

Valve springs may be an issue, see if you start to get float during tuning or change them now if you are worried

Hi Titan,

It does seem like that is the case. However what intercoolers do people recommend? There are a few 2nd hand old school TRUST drag intercoolers lying around for cheap but most of the new Plazmaman, Nismo, ect all ask upwards of $2000.

Im not one to be cheap but has anyone had experience with certain types of cores? And does anyone think a 2nd hand TRUST drag exhaust can still do the job?

Hey Jap_Muscle,

im going to be using a plazmaman intercooler, maybe give them a call and they can build one up probly cost you anywhere from $1500 - $1900

not sure how much your going to spend on a used trust cooler? $800 - $1000?

I had a long chat with Plazmaman a few months back about their intercooler designs and quality. They claim that they have the most efficient intercoolers in the world and would benchmark their products with anything. Bold statement never the less.

I do however have a TRUST 100mm drag cooler available for 500. But there is some pipework that needs to be done. How soon are u going to get yours all sorted out and tuned mate? Gt35r rb26/30?

Keep us posted

Im still about 6 - 8 months away, will defenly post some results when its done.

I doubt you'll get over 400rwkw with a 0.82 rear on pump. I would think that around 350rwkw would be maximum on pump with a 0.82rear.

As for intercoolers - The most thermally efficient cores I've seen are from process west. The plazmaman ones are close but process west are definately the best.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
