Which T3 Turbos Do Fit Without Too Much Headache?

[krzysiu]

shit..

im making 20psi by ~5000rpm..

thats with e85, poncams and stempipe manifold

Wtf??? That's shit as. Way too late for a 3076. I got a stock ported manifold and stock cams (have a cam gear only) and is internally gated.

Just looked at your boost line and looks lazy. What controller you using? Or just off the external gate

[gotRICE?]

Hahaha yeah i wanted to say that it was shithouse and he was excited over something that could be alot better.. but i thought id be nice first

[rad100]

eboost 1 controlling it, the wastegate only has a 10psi spring, i have a stiffer one here ready to go on.

i dont have vct either.

[gotRICE?]

VCT Will help a world.

A good stiffer spring actuator wont do it any worse either. The closer to the desired level the better!

Hi there,

From what you write about your high-flowed turbo I would buy immediately buy it, since it sounds like lots

of low down grunt and fun Who made this unit???

I have this nice boost controller, it has 3 settings .. 'off' 'low' 'high' ... wouldn't that help to tame the unit?

Anyhow, the car is used as anything from grocery getter to daily driver (though not as a commuter)

From time to time for the drag strip, but not on a 'professional basis'

My insurance policy states 'recreational use' and that's the truth ..

I wouldn't want too much downtime with the turbo upgrade, and I have a good mechanic at hand who

does very good work (but only at weekends)

Here in the UK there's is quite some backfround noise with High Flowed Turbos, usually you get no 'hard data' on these.

'They' just state 'stage1' or 'stage2' and that's something I wouldn't buy especially when being quite pricy...

I had a recommendation for a HKS28xx kit .. but that was very pricey ...

Cheers from London,

Andrew

I had a hiflow at 250rwkw and it was sometimes pretty hard to drive. Made heaps of boost and came on hard way too early in the rev range. On wet days if you tried to accelerate in 4th from say 70 to 100km/h you'd get wheel spin all the time. Fun but a real PITA, you couldn't always count on controlling it. Not saying all hiflows are like this, but mine was.

Stopping at uphill sets of traffic lights on wet days - just thinking about it used to make me break out in cold sweats. I'd plan my route to avoid having to go through them.

I went to a 3076 with external gate and WMI at 300rwkw and its a totally better vehicle all round. Good reliable steady progressive power. Transformed the car, made it a damn sight easier to live with. So its not called lag, its called control to me!!!

But buying and installing such a turbo takes more effort and $$$$ than one that bolts up to the std dumps etc. It really depends on your end goals and what you want to do with the car long term. Also - if you buy say a hypergear hiflow as an interim step - how easy would it be to resell later and get your $$$ back when you decide to up size??? Simple things like this can help make your build more progressive and easier on the bank account.

anyone know where to get a good rpm switch to turn vct on and off?

[Torques]

But with Nistune you have VTC, unless you went for a non Z32 ECU....

[rad100]

yeh rb20 ecu.

oh well ill get a switch to get it working..

sorry to hijack.

[Torques]

NP ..

I have the Z32 ECU, works well!

That boost curve is from the 10si spring... it get's to 15psi ok then the gate must crack open under the pressure and slows down the boost increase.

[Fat_Tony]

Too much boost early in the rev range. WTF? Never heard that before. You should drive a 6L Supercharged V8. That's low down power. You need to learn some right foot control. Throttle isn't an on/off switch.

Hi there,

I still would like to know who made this high flowed unit???

It was hiflowed by GCG in Sydney, not sure if it was a completely std turbo to start with, it came on the car. From memory it went from 50/7? to 56/76 but I could be wrong there, I gave all the paperwork to the person who bought it off me. I also had other mods that allowed the 250rwkw to be made [fmic, pfc, tomei cams, dump, exhaust, hiflow cat, z32, etc etc]. But as I said I didn't like its power delivery, was not as progressive.

The 3076 makes 50kw more power but has a much better power delivery and more of it [in the rev range] where you need it.

If I was you I'd send Stao from Hypergear a PM and get one of his units, only ever heard good things about his product.

[Torques]

Yeah ... I will send him a PM, he seems to have lots of experience and also documents his results well.

There's an inner voice that says 'go high mount, go high mount'. But that would involve too much downtime (but would be quite sexy)

Many thanks ...
