Seriously? A bigger non ball bearing turbo being less laggier?

i take bush over balls every time.

But seriously the bush stuff is so much more hardy and the response diff is litterally negligible.

But have to say I am a bit disappointed its not making 200rwkws until around 4,300rpm which is only 200rpm better then my RB20 with a TD06-20G on 98. I am really looking for a 330-350rwkws setup that does 200rwkws at 4,000rpm.

I wonder if something like a Full Race manifold, twin gate and GTX3071R on a std RB25 would do over 200rwkws at 4,000rpm?

Yeah I noticed that with the higher resolution one as well, I'd expect a normal GT3076R to at least match that on E85. A setup I think would be unreal on an RB25 would be a 6boost manifold, wastegate and a FP GT3076R HTA... probably very hard to beat.

Argh, who starts a dyno run at 3900rpm haha... Makes the curve look so much better than it actually is!

Probably not as good as I thought it was down low compared with a T67, actually may be a tad on the laggier side.

But in saying that it's a very impressive set up for a low mount standard inlet and exhaust manifold set up

100% agree.

Now you see that nothing actually happens before 4000rpm - It's nothing remarkable IMO.

Really? Its 25psi by 4000rpm, starting at 3900rpm means the turbo has less time under full load to overcome inertia

Run starts at about 17psi which shows motor was loaded up before the run

Seriously? A bigger non ball bearing turbo being less laggier?

It's not exactly apples with apples, internal vs external gate with an aftermarket manifold

17psi loaded at 3800rpm-ish is actually not that flash, loading a GT3076R against a dyno like that (depending on how long you load it for) you can easily hit 17psi by 3500rpm.

I've not been in or driven a car running a GTX but I'm feeling more and more like they aren't doing anything that the previous range did, GTX3071R = GT3076R, GTX3076R = GT3082R, GTX3576R = GT3582R. GTX3582R, well... they have made some huge power but there are plenty of other outfits who have been upgrading the GT35R compressor wheels which cost less.

not really a very good dyno sheet to compare with, need to start it at 2000 without loading it up for 30 seconds before hand.

You do realise something as simple as dyno ramp rate will affect perceived response on a dyno...?

God you can be a wanker nismoid, you know what I mean.

Start it at 2000rpm like a normal dyno run, eg on appropriate load settings, not holding it on massive load so that it doesn't increase in rpm pre spooling the turbo. If you start it at 4k you could have been holding it there for 5 minutes before hand, we don't know. At least if you were to do that at 2k it wouldn't cheat the dyno result too much assuming of course the correct ramp rate for the rest of the run.

But bringing people back to reality for a second! Its a 335rwkws std RB25 with a bolt on turbo! That is mega. Perhaps a gate, manifold or other combination may be a tad punchier, but show me a single bolt on turbo that will match this setup???? I haven't seen any? Would be pretty mint, stock looking setup if his pipes weren't so sex when you open the bonnet.

Wow hasnt this got some bad press now?! It went from wow nice results mate to meh thats not that crash hot HAHA! :blink:

I dont understand any of the dyno jargon you blokes are carrying on about lol!

Its just a sheet showing how much power it made FFS! To me it doesnt give a true representaion of how my car drives in the REAL world my car is far from dead under 4000rpm even if thats what a line on a piece of paper says to you in fact the car takes off like a dog shot in the ass 3800rpm in 2nd gear all the way to redline 3rd gear is on instantly if you stay hard on it in 2nd gear off boost its torquey as hell and feels as pokey as any big Falcodore 6 cylinder which is very impressive for a 2.5L imo... Yeah probably doesnt come on as early as alot of turbos or the GT3071 that it replaced for that matter. I dunno if my eyes deceive me or im not reading the dynosheet right but is 25psi @ 4000rpm on a factory manifold with an internal gate laggy?

My car is far from an exotic or by a big $$$ setup its a basic bolt on package on E85 nothing special really i woulda thought :ninja:

Now dont get me wrong this is not me getting defensive to the constructive critisism from you guys as im stoked with how well my car goes and how well it drives on and off boost is a credit to the boys at Unigroup engineering and 450hp isnt too shabby at all i reckon :banana:

I just feel some guys get caught up in the dynosheet too much as opposed to how it feels to drive on the road which is where it really counts......... Thats my 2c anyways haha

Jez is gunna be taking my car for a run this weekend so ill put the hard word on him to do a little write up and give you guys his opinion on how my car drives lol im sure as shit hes driven as many different turbo combinations on a 25 as anyone in here :thumbsup:

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
