OK all. Saw a very old post of this similar topic. I posted very briefly there but it had a lot of chit chat back and forth. So nice new clean post time.

This might be worth doing for anyone wanting a almost stick looking setup like mine.

Gtx3076 .82 low mount internally gated. Rest of specs are in car section on profile.

Car made initially:

just over 300rwkw @ chequered (status tuning)

285rwkw @ Avo turboworld

250rwkw @ jjm turboworld.

All @ about 18psi

Below are my changes in flow. And my dyno chart now running bout half a pound less boost (call it same boost for arguments sake.

I've linked to them as they are larger than allowed. Nice n clear to read.

Let me know what you think.

ive seen a 20kw gain starting @ 4000rpm from GT to GTX, although the GTX was running 2psi more boost.

Post up the results if you have them. I haven't seen a back to back result that makes me think that the GTX range is a step forward in this framed turbo.

Yeah definitely dyno differences very apparent. That proves what everyone already knows.

It leaned out heaps with just the manifold changed which was a good sign there was power to be made.

Cost bout 800 for the porting including shipping both ways. Not too bad for 50% flow increase.

Status dyno was more generous than the attached dyno. Showed boost and power coming in earlier.

Drives like a monster though.

So how is that even comparable?

Because - It's not.

It was related too a comment made... :domokun:

Sorry mate I no longer work at the place anymore, it was on a patrol, we got the GTX30/76 back in October, took off the GT30/76 that was on our test truck and put the GTX on, from 4000 it started at 20kw, @ 5500 before the power died it was only around 12kw gain, for a 1500$ turbo it wasnt worth the gain, it was worth adding meth injection instead of the GTX. Though from a factory upgrade id go a GTX.

hows the traction at 300kw? haha

Also do you have a build thread?

Horrible traction. Lol. Second is useless on boost without throttle control. 3rd is iffy lol 3rd feels like I'm floating. Wants to break free.

Nah no build thread. Didn't think anyone would be too interested in my little upgrades and plans at the time!

haha awesome! im aiming for 300kw for my drift build, currently only 200kw, it spins 3rd alright but on the straights i cant pull 4th without it dieing :unsure:

Any build threads interesting :yes: ile probly make one after im finished doing everything, but i do plan on keeping the stock manifolds :woot:

Haha nice. Aren't build threads meant to be during the process? Lol. Well this may be an option for you if u want to keep standard manifold. They tell me e85 internals + more boost should see me at about another 50+ rwkw no worries.

thats what im going for :yes: 1000cc injectors, 300lt/h pump probly hypergears ss2 or g3 turbo and see what happens :rolleyes: and Ile start the thread once i have all the parts ready to bolt on :whistling:

Oh how wrong you were lol. People would love to see a thread on your car mate, especially if you have back to back on porting the stock manifold.

Hmm. What's involved. What I did. When I did it. What difference it made at each point. charts where possible? All in one massive post in new thread??

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
