nice what was the run length in seconds they definitely look different, maybe the hold time was 4sec instead of 2... ?

tell declan to run the right correction too, its running the old stp correction. SAE is the right correction nowadays and will only knock about 10-15rwkw off that graph.

Interesting, everyone seemed to think it would be laggier and other results seemed to show that it would be, this shows a huge change in spool.

What is the transient response like simon, much nicer to drive? Also what manifold are you using, and internal gate?

edit: Were the dyno run settings EXACTLY the same?

Manifold is made here by AM Performance (http://www.facebook.com/mobileprotection#!/pages/AM-Performance/135203453221377) and the turbo is externally gated

good to see it made some improvement. now its up to people if its worth the extra coin

Do you think the manifold makes any difference to spool? If you were to use stock manifold with internal gate how do you think it would influence the result? Spool and top end that is.

what do you want me to do? run less or more boost?

i feel same boost level should give a truer comparison yes?

If the new turbo can flow more than the old one then potentially without raising the boost and/or adjusting the tune to maximize the new found goodness then potentially not really telling of the real difference. That result suggests to me the old turbo had more on it too...

What he said, was basically what i was thinking. I understand the limitations you have with testing this, that's why i was just asking a question in general, not really stating that you should do xx and yy.

I just dont know why you guys are so dissapointed - you only need to compare the compressor maps to see that there are f**k all gains unless your running around 2bar of boost with the gtx.

Man speaks the truth!

Good to see a decent gain in response though :)

yeah the main reason why i did it was to gain more response... not to gain more peak power because honestly for what i need it for (drift) anything over 300 rwkw is excessive.

the rest of the info is for you SAU'ers to debate over.

You would need to run 25psi+ to really show where these turbos shine.

Kind of why I would like to see a 71 back to back or a gtx28 if they made it. Most people don't run these turbos to their max. Still I am delightfully surprised by the gain in response. Does anyone know if they make these similar wheels for GT28 style turbos ?

I honestly cannot remember where but I thought I read about a 68 or 70mm compressor version . Possibly something on a GT28 turbine but No details come to mind .

Purely using the force here but I think it could be possible that the 76mm GTX compressor in the port shrouded T04E comp housing may possibly benefit from having all blades exposed to the radial slot , unlike a GT37 6/6 bladed wheel where only the full height blades sweep over that slot . GTX compressors appear to have all full height blades and I guess if they can run in a "partially unloaded state" it could help the turbine spin them up a little sooner .

The telling factor is the transient responses compared to a conventional GT3076R .

Looking purely at the GTX3076R comp map I get the impression that the islands are taller but possibly narrower than a std GT3076R and I have to wonder if it can gain from a slightly larger port shrouded housing .

Anyway good results particularly with no tuning , cheers A .

The taller/narrower islands would probably be a result of the increase in trim, I'd have thought? And in regards to increasing the exposure of the blades to the ports, no doubt it would increase the compressor's ability to gain outright shaft speed but unfortunately the shaft speed is just one part of a puzzle which involves getting air into the engine - anyone with a boost leak can vouch for the fact that more shaft speed doesn't (necessarily) mean better response.

I'm sure there is a fine balance, but my understanding is the main purpose of the ports would be to try and stretch the surge line and islands between for given pressure ratios to the left (funnily enough, given the whole anti-surge term) while maintaining a balance between that effect, spool and trying not to topple the choke point. Wouldn't exposing more start eliminating some of the advantage of the higher flowing 58trim wheel?

Just trying to get an idea of exactly what you're envisaging by that, or if I am on the same page.

I've been looking forward to this :thumbsup:

The info i got from GCG initially was -

The GTX usaully flows about 10% more power than the stock GT3076R, and response time is nearly identical (it doesn't come on faster). This would be the gains that you'd see from the Billet compressor wheel. The GTX version is also more efficient at high boost pressures.

This turned me away from spending the extra money (That i don't have at the moment) on these turbo's... I will be running a pretty similar setup to your car but have a .82 rear housing, the reason i chose the bigger was that i thought it would match the engine size better, but now seeing your .63 results i am confused >_<

looks good but how ever I think those 2x runs are not based on the same dyno sittings, the GTX appears to have more ramp load then the GT run unless some thing with the car or the tune was not 100%.

By going larger sized comp wheel without any modifications to the turbine wheel or housing is not going to end up with that much better in response, its suppose to be opposite as larger blades fights against greater amount of surge per rotation. Plus it would not shift the areas of whe the car is on vacuum.

But any thing can happen with E85, does it feels that much of differences on the road?

i think the whole point was never to make a turbo that just made more power but one that was more efficient and will no doubt 'feel' better and more transient under your foot..

There will always be skeptics but at the end of the day garrett know more than anyone about this ssubject and

I never doubted them.. It would be suicidal to release a less responsive version of there best selling turbo..good on you Simon for busting the myth :thumbsup:

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
