So I have an RB25 S2 with a GT3076r low mount at the moment. I’m looking at changing it to high mount setup. Was look to get some feedback on what exhaust housing size I should go eg: .73 or .82

Current setup made 18psi at 4000rpm making a max HP of 330 when it was first tune. Now the internal gate is giving me the shits and doesn’t make 18psi until 5500. I’m not wanting too much lag and will be happy if I get 18psi at 4000rpm once again on the high mount setup.

Supporting mods will be:

Greedy intake man

Front mount

Split fires

Power fc

3.5 inch exhaust

38mm external gate

I have looked through the Forms to try and find this information but no luck

.82

Smaller than that will restrict flow up top and with .82 on ext gate you should see full boost by 4000rpm

You should have made more than 330hp with a 3076r with a low mount though...

Be prepared to put in the money if you want to go a proper high mount setup with FFP, i was shocked when i realised how much my car cost to do.

Is saying that its a 3076/3037 and see's 21psi @ 3900 rpm easily and makes 485hp

You should be able to get a nice responsive 400hp in the low mount setup, there must be something wrong with the way you have it setup!

The tune was done at pits

The intake man was put on after the tune but had boost issues before that

First turbo setup was with an apexi AX53B70 made 292HP hit 18 psi at 3500rpm then droped back to 14psi at 8000rpm so when the GT3076r when on and made about 40hp more i thought i was doing ok

and yes 550cc injectiors fuel reg and fuel pump done with a Z32 AFM

My last setup was just a high flow turbo, nothing special and it made 330-340hp at only 13psi so a 3076 can do better if its setup right, the turbo is a small piece of the puzzle :)

My highflow makes 240rwkw on a safe tune, so I definently think you should sort out what's holding things back at the moment before you go dropping $$$ on a high mount.

Who knows, you might end up being happy with the result, as is, when you get the issues sorted!

There is an issue with your current setup.

+1

And going to highmount wont magically fix it.

There is no reason an internal gate GT3076 on 18psi cannot make 260-270rwkw without issue. No-one else has problems with correctly sorted setups, so fix the current one before changing as the issue is clearly not turbo related.

You havent mentioned what rear housing you have at the moment.

I bet you have one of the following:

- 'skyline style' 6 bolt outlet for GT30s, by ATP or someone similar (bolts to the stock style dymp)

- Garret .63 5 bolt rear housing

Please clarify which one you have. If you have EITHER of those housings, that is your problem.

Change to a genuine garrett 5 bolt .82 rear housing and you will get the response AND get closer to 400whp.

That is low power even for the Apexi turbo, i have an ax53b70 and made 340hp on 16psi, 555cc, z32 and the usual other mods.

I think it might be sonic or something that makes those

Yes you guys are right, its a Sonic. The first week it was on it was great then I had to take it off and sent it back to sonic as the sleeve for the gate had come lose and wouldn't allow the internal gate to close. I still don’t think it is right and that’s why I want to get rid of it

The only other thing that could be letting it down is the monster performance intercooler brought of a mate a long time ago I’ve been meaning to upgrade it.

Yes I have tried preloading the wastegate more.

All other parts are good quality

Sard 550 injectors

Genuine greddy intake manifold

AVCR

nismo fuel pressure regulator

splitfire coil packs

z32 AMF with steel intake to turbo

Power FC

And a walbro fuel pump

Pits dyno is known for low HP readings but he is very good with Power FC

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
