Great result mate. Congrats.

So it's hitting full boost by 4000rpm.

That's pretty damn good, especially when you are running the stock manifold and the gate off the turbine housing aren't you?

what size exhaust are you running?

Not sure on the road speed conversion to rpm but it seems to be hitting 16psi at 4000rpm; 16psi is the boost level chosen not 'full boost' capacity of the turbocharger and system. Don't mean to be picky but its good to know the difference as it can be misleading.

If it were to run more more boost, it would take more rpm to generate that additional boost. Basic eg, full boost could be theoretically 45psi + and at that boost level, it would not hit that at 4000rpm but more rather 5000rpm or so. More relevant, if they were to turn the boost up to 25psi, they might see that figure anywhere from 4200rpm to 4500rpm.

Glad to hear you got it sorted mate. great result!

Really makes me think about adding the juice to mine too. Be really interested to know what the higher compression would do with it.

How much would you estimate the additional costs were? do you have a ethanol meter? tuning etc?

yeah 20psi at 4000rpm and yes stock manifold and gate off the housing, i have a 3 1/2inch system and 3inch muffler ,

thanks mate, the juice had the tuner shaking his head laughing, he did the tune in about 45min which was pretty good going,

additional costs were

injectors and rail - $830

fuel reg- $270

modifying manifold -$50

others hoses,fitting ,fuel etc -$200

tune$200-$300

shit sounds like alot, best not thinking bout the total :closedeyes: dont have an ethanol analyser, its been tuned on the richer side and im just going to keep an eye on the knock levels.

Im well aware of all this, but full boost to me usually refers to the maximum boost setting the owner has choosen to run for the supplied dyno graph. For the more novus reader though, i can understand where you are coming from.

I think 4000rpm is decent considering the flow capacity the gtx3076 has, I'd be stocked with the result. Wonder if the poncams made much of a difference?

i just looked one of the video's i took , its actually before 4000rpm, ill try to upload it to show proof of the road speed v's revs,

it looks like 100km/hr is about 3500rpm in 4th so if thats right then i have 20psi at about 3800ish

haha.. even when cruising its like a kettle whistling and whining , dont have need for the radio much these days lol :whistling:

Haha nice result man! Gotta love that sound!

Your standard engine will take more boost and love it ;)

cos of the internal wastegate

Its an external wastegate, tial 44mm with a 0.82rear housing , i doubt it could ever fall over

It looks that way because of how the boost controller was set, i put in 90%duty up till 3500rpm to try and get it boosting early, and 60% for 3500-7000rpm

we never touched it on the dyno , just did a run and because the power was what i was after, decided to leave it where it was, there is no problem getting it too hold 20psi all the way thru if we wanted to, but this way the engine isnt being leaned on so hard toward the end of the revs, so a quick adjustment on the controller would see 350kw probably, but i dont want to be rebuilding an engine for a while yet so will just leave it for a while. :yes:

For ARTZ, I honestly think the external gate setup here helps with how impressive it is.

The internal gate would be a different story, a little lazier IMO.

Im pretty sure Mick_O is on par for spool with this car but has a GTX71, i dare say if he went external gate off the housing his spool would improve again.

the answer was for the hks pro s (r31 power)

I went for a nice drive in Mick O's GTX3071 R33 today and am so blown away at how good it is that I honestly cannot see how he could improve such a potent weapon. Running e85 and an incredibly fast spooling gtx pumping 330rwkw it had me laughing madly all the way and being the really nice bloke that he is, he was laughing as much too! Thanks so much Mick O, Ur setups just so amazing.

    • As I've said elsewhere, I am using the stock intercooler piping path in the engine bay, and a return flow cooler, and making ~250 rwkW (without any effort put into trying to turn it up past there just yet) and expect to be able to make some more, and frankly, I would be perfectly happy with 260-270rwKW. This is peak road Skyline usability territory. You go past there and, sure, the car will snap necks more when it's on boost, but it will also break shit all the time, cost a (even larger) fortune in tyres, etc etc. Anyway, I also do not like the over-the-fan pipe path, and you don't have to do it.
    • I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc. 
    • Not easy to quantify wrt something like how many fractions of a second slower it would be over 0-100. But given that a 250-300rwkW car is able to do that launch sprint in 5-6 sec (and faster with appropriate tyres, and surface)..... giving up as much as a second would feel like torture. A ~450HP capable turbo is not going to make lots of boost in the 2000-3000 rpm range. So, whilst with some boost on hand it will be faster accelerating in that rev range than your engine currently is NA, it will not feel like a fast car until the boost is solidly in. You know what your car feels like right now when you open it up at 2000rpm. if you've ever been in an actual fast car, you will appreciate that the NARB25 is.... not exciting. Well, add some boost and it will be better. But shorten the intake runners and it might not be better at all. It might come out better, but it could end up feeling the same. For me, it's not the 0-X km/h sprints that matter. It is easy to fry the tyres with anything over 200 rwkW. You can't use all the power available in 1st and 2nd anyway, you have to modulate the throttle. What matters is how the car reacts when you're driving in traffic in 4th or 5th and have maybe 2000 rpm on board, and you want/need to add some speed quickly, and don't have time for the downshift. It won't make boost, it will be all NA (at the speeds we're talking about - remember how fast you're going at 2000 in 4th! and don't plan on breaking the limit by too much.) So giving away NA torque is not what I would consider practical for a street car. And retaining that NA torque builds boost faster which makes the car faster. The flashy plenum is not actually better, unless you're looking at a track car where you can keep it on the boil all the time.  
    • So how much difference does it make you think? Like 1 second in the 0-100?  I was have smaller turbo so hopefully that spools quick GTX2871.  currently it’s NA so you can imagine pretty slow, but I do want fast accusation a little as there’s not many places I’ll be driving where I go over 80 even near me. So 0-60 and 0-80 targets
