I'm not picking on you... But remind us how much power yours makes? Meeting its rating?

Actually you are more or less hitting the high average as it is. I dont recall seeing anyone with 300kw results out of one of those housings. Sorry to say, happy to be proven wrong though.

its all good.

auto, 450cc injectors, ecu-flash tune + piggyback .... had 250rwkw at 16psi

currently with forged bottom end has 230rwkw at 13psi (after 1000kms)

will do a high boost tune sometime down the track, and expect maybe 270rwkw for 18psi, bit more if I go for 20psi.

Look, I agree that youd be pushing to make the 300rwkw with 20psi in a manual with a fully tuneable ECU. But it shouldnt be a problem to reach 280+rwkw with it.

To me its just a number :/ Eventually will push it on the dyno to see where she gets up to, but happy enough with the performance as it is (better ecu + injectors would release a nice result, but TBH Im a bit over it all - its just a car to me now)

Agree with Tangles. 280-300kw seems to be the norm including myself with 297kw at 17psi (18psi that drops to 17psi). Stock manifold with 550cc injectors and retuned ECU (typical FMIC, upgraded pump, AFM). Have been in an R33 with a 2835 and that gives plenty of response and kick with about 260rwkw.

Its just that the number is relative. One thing I know about those housings is that it puts a cap on the turbo which more or less makes it work like a good XXXkw turbo should. So in your case, it does a good job of 250kw whereas a .82 3076 would do a very mediocre job of 250kw.

I think the only thing that is holding your setup back is your boost, which is why I made the comment I did. Auto is OK, your general setup is OK, S15 injectors are OK, no issues - nothing to blame (IMHO).. Run more boost and you will have it try to make more power, but I'll bet that it will start to choke pretty quick.

From memory we theorized a lot with ARTZ about his one, his is the 7 blade 76 with a similar rear to urs I believe. If I knew which thread it was in I would link you. It helped him move off the dirty thin and onto a good thing! lol

I was told, out of interest 4BIDN one on here has a series one stag same as yours, without Poncams like yours, on the same dyno with a 3076 56T, .63 garret housing , external gate on a stocky manifold

244 rwkw on 15psi, but with 6 degrees less timing than yours and a lot better response apparently,its a pretty nice street setup for a heavy stag.

cheers

GTX3076 will SMASH 300kw peice of piss my lil GTX3071 made 288kw on 21psi on 98 and im sure its gotta few psi left to breathe in its efficiency range to crack another 12kw to make the magic 300kw let alone its bigger brother

is that ok to go upto 21psi on a stock unopened engine, i was thinking 18psi was bout the limit, not sure what tuners do with these turbo's, should they be allowed to keep going until they stop producing power or whats the point of , "thats enough for the stock motor"

Im gunna be running 25psi + next week on my stockie lol but im running E85 see how long she lasts lol

most GT3076 makes 300rwkw or close to it on 18psi your GTX should do it around 16-17 i would imagine

ive seen 24psi on unopened motors its all about the tune

Im gunna be running 25psi + next week on my stockie lol but im running E85 see how long she lasts lol

gees thats crazy, might see if they can push mine a bit, just to see what it does on 22-24psi then pull it back to 18 or 20,

really good thread this one, interesting to see what happenswith your 25psi E85 set up Mick O

Fair call jet31. Will give my engine a proper push sometime around the middle of the year, & see where it ends up... My engine lost its ringlands so something wasn't right at some point in time. Would love to Nistune it (z32 ecu & harness) but lack the funds; the ecu setup in mine could be much better.

Was told theoretically and in an ideal situation of course by my tuner that i could make as much 350kw on 25psi at the moment im on 18psi and 307kw and he said its got heaps more left in it so fingers crossed it does lol

    • 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.
