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

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • 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   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • 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.
