This has me a bit excited after reading so many negative comments about the new GTX version turbos. I am hoping to have my build complete in about 2 months with a GTX3071R 0.82.

I have to admit that I am still a bit unconvinced that all things are equal here, not deliberately - but.

I also can't see any reason why the GTX would spool any faster, it would be absolutely awesome if it did.... but its at odds with all other results, and with the general likelyhood. Being more or less the same wouldn't surprise me so much though.

The "GT3076R" dyno plot also looks more like what you get with a faster ramp rate - but the on road difference does sound promising.

i can assure you there's no trickery with the ramp rates. i have nothing to gain/lose by doing this comparison. i wasnt being paid to do it. and did it out of my own interest/pocket. the results are clear as day and the on road feeling confirms the difference. true test shall be tomorrow at mallala tho :D

I imply I don't think you (or anyone) are trying to fudge the results, just look at the relative shape of the different curves - its like there is something more different than just the turbo. Curiouser and curiouser, etc.

Obviously its a no brainer thats its either a good or a great result, as basically its definite that the new turbo will make more power - if it makes it with the same spool then thats awesome.

Any chance you accidentally ended up with a GTX3071R? ;)

i'd be stoked if a 3071 could flow that much power at that much boost.. has anyone done any testing on one at 25+ psi?

How much boost should I tune mine for when it is finished being built?

Turbo is GTX3071R 0.82 on an RB25DET Neo with a forged and balanced bottom end.

Keep screwing it in until it makes the power you want and isn't out of the efficiency zone. Check the compressor map and see work out the rough max psi you can run before it'll be out of the zone.

Ye the way it comes on so hard is still making me look @ the graph over and over.

Wondering if during the swap there was perhaps a slightly split line or something causing a minor issue not neccesarily noticeable.

Simon - were the hoses etc all replaced or was it a literal 'bolt off/on'?

What about the actuator sitation - same or new?

(not having a go, just thinking outside the norm here)

And side question entirely, are the GTX housings different to the GT ones? (ive not really paid attention to that?)

Either way - more more tuning around the 4000rpm mark. Sure looks like it could bring up a massive mid-range increase which would make it MUCH more than 10% gain. Almost 20% if it keeps picking up like it was, would be very impressive

was a true bolt on swap, boost control lines not touched. i run a tial 44mm extrernal gate. and yeah when time permits we might try putting a degree of timing in around the midrange to help it.

let me just say this tho... with a super responsive set up and such a large wack of torque in the midrange. traction is very difficult. i believe for circuit stuff you wouldnt want this type of arrangement. you'd want to opt for a larger rear and lazier ramp to prevent wheelspin.

to save some confusion...

settle time of 3sec, ramp time of 7. both runs. increasing either of those times would mess with the results but they were both done the same.

simon has swapped to a 4.11 from a 4.35 diff but the dyno was set accordingly so it shouldn't mess with it at all.

i didn't touch the tune for the gtx. i can see a few spots i'd like to tweak but this was just a quick run up. I had no time to mess with it.

the one thing i did note was that i had to turn up the boost controler a touch to get the boost to the same point again.

wouldn't that in effect change the ramp rate as the ramp rate is measured via wheel speed and the ratio of wheel speed to engine speed is now different?

Purely from what you see through the comp housing of a GTX3076R . These compressor wheels appear to be eleven bladed where the GT37 series BCI-18C wheels have twelve . As we know the GT37 ones halve six full height and six splitter blades and only the full height ones sweep over the radial slot in a port shrouded compressor housing .

One of the things you notice when looking at GT series compressors and turbines compared to T series ones is their axial length and it would be interesting to to compare this on GT and GTX compressors .

I'm a conservative in the turbo world and that makes me think that they are looking to get higher airflow rates at mid range wheel speeds but at higher pressure ratios . To me the islands on the maps are a bit narrow and thats why I think they could do with a larger compressor housing - if not a higher A/R one .

Garrett do make a 0.70 A/R T04E compressor housing but its an ungainly looking thing with the same inlet and outlet diameters as and isn't much if any more compact than the T04S housings which are more common things anyway .

In the State FP makes up "HTA" compressors for upgrades to Garrett BB turbos and I think they use a T04S housing on their HTA30R turbo .

I can only go off trends I see with other compressor wheel families in sometimes a number of different compressor housing families and I think these GTX wheels are getting to the stage of needing larger housings than the GT25BB center section can support . Also making up adapter rings to get say GT40 compressor housings on GT25BB center sections means more inventory for a very low volume , aftermarket , rage of turbochargers . This is really where the larger center section/frame Garrett BB turbos come into their own , native to larger housings both sides but they are starting to get away from being "compact" turbos . Also few are itegral wastegate and many use T4 international flanged single and twin entry turbine housings .

I work for the Intermodal Division of one of the interstate rail freight carriers .

wouldn't that in effect change the ramp rate as the ramp rate is measured via wheel speed and the ratio of wheel speed to engine speed is now different?

From what decs said I'm assuming the ramp rate was adjusted to compensate.

When i read that is assumed that they made the changes to make sure that the RPM signal was correct so the graph was displayed correctly, not that they adjusted the ramp rate by 5.7% to make up for the change of ramp rate that the engine sees. But after re reading it i'm not sure?

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
