Cheers bud. Hope this thread enlightens others. Glad your happy with the 71. I've decided on the 76 with 52t and will order tomorrow or we'd. Will post up the info and results for future reference when I get it

Thanks

will scan dyno sheet soon.

ended up making 270 @ 16psi

feels great, full boost by about 3800 with small can actuator. will be great with poncams and big can

freaking love it!!!!

big thanks to Willall and AM Performance

If its a "real" GT3076R 52T it may convince a few people thats its a better thing than the 56T version .

To be fair making 270kw (GT3071/GT2835s can make that power) with full boost at 3800rpm is no way near being a compelling arguement in the direction of it being a better thing than the 56T.... its spooling about the same as a 56T but has less flow potential.

*lithium double checks his turbo id tag*

*finds he actually has a 52T.....*

for me i probably would have been happy with either of the turbos. but the 52t is what i went with to be a little different, and its great. hey, the 56t may be exactly the same. As you can see 270 @ 16psi, hits nearly 18 in mid range. im thinking big can actuator and a set of poncams should be additional fun. tag on the turbo that i wrote down was 700382-10 . once the big can arrives well play around with the boost controller a bit more. any questions or comments welcome. All i know is its fun!!

i have also included a picture of the AM Performance dump pipe before it was polished. can get you a better pic if needed

Id be very happy with that. You can pull a bit more fuel out of it and can certainly wind in a bit more boost.

The big can actuator might also bring things on a reasonable amount earlier also, which would make it even better.

Congrats.

never really updated this. well here it was as of a few weeks ago. currently sourcing bigger gate springs and going e85 in the next week or so

Been playing around with the car of late.

previously had

269@ 18psi falling off to 16 (263 run printed)

Nismo 555 injectors

greddy profec b

Garrett 3076 52t .82 internally gated 1 bar actuator

Tomei Poncams

98 octane

usual front mount and 3" exhaust

z32 afm

changes

3076 52t with .63 rear

Tial 44mm external gate

made 236 @ 15psi falling to 14 (no boost control other than the spring in the gate)

*there was no tune done with the new rear set up due to going e85 in the next month or so

verdict

boost comes on a LOT earlier, but no issues with traction. I do miss the power in the top end though, really punches coming out of corners.

plans

E85 + 18psi + 740cc injectors should see me back around the 270ish mark and be back to being awesome with great response. anything more and it does start to become unusable. when the car was making 270 it was great on track, but really lacked low end pull

also worth noting a few friends have the 56t version with identical set ups, the 52t has no where near the high pitched spool noise as the 56t, it does try though

This was the kind of result I was hoping to see on an RB25DET with the 52 compressor trim GT3037/GT3076R - and with the 0.63 AR turbine housing .

Corky Bell said years ago that you can't have good response down low and that meaty top end with the one turbine housing . You have to make your own decision on which compromise you want , mine will be the one that suits what I do with my car most of the time which is not using the meaty top end so much .

Possibly the saddest thing is that Garrett unlike HKS never made a 0.73 AR GT30 turbine housing and the one HKS do make has a GT28 flange and no integral wastegate .

Right at the bleeding edge the 56 trim GT37 compressor in the 0.60 AR T04E housing can churn enough air for about 540 Hp but I doubt you'd get near that without the 1.06 AR turbine housing and a pretty big exhaust . Besides I reckon it would be laggy on an RB25DET .

Personally I don't think much of the 71.1mm or GT35 compressor wheel teamed up with the GT30 turbine . This is not to say they are an unworkable combination but I don't think there is anything brilliant they can do given a choice of turbos . Someone here said differently but I have never seen

a GT3071R with a port shrouded compressor housing , they normally have a plain snout 0.50 AR T04E housing ant I've never seen a port shrouded 0.50 E one .

The GT37 52T compressor is the one HKS specified when they though things could get laggy . It was an option for SRs and in twin form on RB26s .

I don't see the point of having compressor capacity you don't intend to use so for all round IMO the 52T GT37 compressor looks pretty good on an RB25 . At least with these the worst you may have to do is change turbine housings if its too laggy or the top end not to your liking .

Turbos aside you can do things like headwork and bump the CR a little to give it a bit more low down engine only torque . If I was rebuilding one I'd use the Neo head and pistons to suit because I think the more compact chambers was probably aimed at better lean running detonation resistance . Bit more timing bit better burning bit closer to the boost threshold etc etc .

Its all fine till the wheels spin then the AWDs eat you ...

A .

Well hopefully the e 85 tune will be Monday. Planning on fitting my new gate with 18.8 psi spring and getting a power run so I can go back to back with e85 againt pump. Imo the .63 rear ex gated is perfect for the rb25. I'm hoping to nudge 300rwkw with e85 and 19psi

With external wastegates there is always the opportunity to adapt GT28 flanged GT30 turbine housings , the hassle is moving the turbo out further and altering plumbing to suit .

Also search the Mafias threads/posts because he claimed to have I think ~ 320 Kw with a 56T GT3037/GT3076R in a 0.63 IW GT30 housing .

He used WMI which can be arguably simpler than high Ethanol content fuels .

A .

Given with E85 you should be able to make 300kw even with a GT3071 I see no reason to go for a 76 unless you want >300kw. I see no issue with screwing a bit more boost in, I mean why would you stop with the 3076 anyway, you'd just keep screwing more boost in to make more power.

Matt from nistune made 300kw with poncams and a neo rb25 with a 0.82 internal gate 3071 on BP98! Probably the best result I've ever seen, was done at morpowa here in Adelaide by Pete who is also from Nistune, he reckons the dyno is far from happy.

Matt does have very high quality parts on his car, proper jap intercooler and everything else is not cheap.

If you go on the nistune forums you can see the dyno sheet and discussion surrounding it.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
