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

    • 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).
