Not really related but I have seen these new GTX3067Rs on a few patrols and as for response they are alot less laggy than a 71 or 76r turbo. They go absolutely great with the 4.2 turbo diesel, spool up nice and early with the stock GU pumps compared to a GT3071R which with the same fuel setup was a bit doughy and laggy.

That's the sort of performance I banked on when deciding to go with the GTX3067. GT3071R like power but a bit better response. What I was really looking for was a suitable substitute for the HKS 2835 Pro S. If it performs like that I'll be super happy.

Haha, you guys are hanging out? It's been just over 6 weeks since I dropped the car off now, so really hope the rest of the work goes smoothly... and that it comes up with a decent result...

At any rate, will post up results as soon as I can. :yes:

Haha yeah man, I bet you are chomping at the bit!!! It's been ages since I've been in that position and I still remember it pretty clearly. Good luck!

No concrete results as yet. Tune was started yesterday. They're currently testing with more preload into actuator to see if boost can come on earlier (not sure how much I should read into that...). But was told is progressing without any issues which is a relief.

Due to be finished this afternoon so hopefully will receive dyno sheet later today.

Getting rather nervous.... :sweat:

Tell em to hurry the faark up Mark! Lol!

People want results here :D

Wonder why they are playing with preload now?

Should've been done before the turbo was installed....Looking forward to seeing ya sheet and how it drives! If you dont post up a sheet tonight it had better be because you were driving it all night loving it! ;) lol!

Have you got an electronic boost controller?

Yep, Greddy Profec OLED.

Tell em to hurry the faark up Mark! Lol!

...

Haha, I know. Unfortunately won't be able to pick it up until tomorrow earliest. So driving impressions will have to wait, but yeah, should be getting dyno plot tonight.

Dunno, what the deal is with the preload testing. Not sure if it's obvious from previous posts, but mechanical work was done by one group (Galvsport) and tune at another (PZP). I guess Galvsport leaves that sort of adjustment up to the tuner?

Makes it sound like it might be done?

My AVCR wasn't up to controlling the way my old Garrett internal gate needed to be to make it aggressively go to and hold full boost so it had a lazy boost curve. It wasn't laggy, the gate just cracked open too early.

Looking forward to hearing how it went!

yeah sounds like an interesting combination, with GTX though I think of lazy onto boost but then violent in my case, but lets see what she puts out, Im positive she'll give

you some interesting onto boost thrills.. 270kw is my prediction with healthy midrange.

I hope they load that boost up, like 20psi then bleed it off, will be so much more angry that way..

Edited by AngryRB

^ yeah agreed, that will be one of the best ways of dealing with this turbo - though again would have been particularly ideal with the .63. Still very keen to hear how it went... hard to find the silence unnerving when usually a good result comes with a "W00t - it did <insert positive result details>!!!"

Hope it has all been done and come together well :)

Woot! it did...

... actually I don't know. Didn't hear back last night. Getting a bit weary of chasing up, I just seem to get myself (and you guys) worked up, haha. I imagine I'm low on the priority list for Galvsport seeing as they usually work on bazillion horse power GTR builds and the like.

Agreed on both comments above. I asked to target for around 20psi. Was told it basically comes down to whatever the turbo will give and engine can handle, which makes sense.

I have mixed feelings about the 0.63 vs 0.82 housing. 0.63 was definitely the original plan (or so I thought) to maximise response, but now with the 0.82 hopefully less risk of boost creep issues. Will also allow like for like comparison with other turbos such as GT3071 & GTX3071.

If I ever get results that is... :unsure:

Bugger!

I don't think you are likely to have boost creep issues even with the .63 - compressor isn't big enough to push more boost than you are aiming for, really. My reasoning for the .63 versus .82 comes partly down to exhaust volume/speed versus compressor size - your compressor will need more shaft speed (ie, spinning the same turbine) to move enough air to keep an RB25 happy versus say a GT3076R or even GT3071R. A smaller a/r will cause a higher shaft speed versus flow through the engine, and a higher turbine speed is a happier more efficient turbine - the fact the compressor won't be pushing all the air in the world at those higher speeds is a good thing (in my head) for keeping differential pressure a bit more in check than some combos shooting for similar power would achieve.

On the flip side, I think the 0.82 may take some of the wind out it's sails for the same reasons - so without really good boost control it'd not surprise me if there was a bit of a lazy boost curve (not to be confused with lag - more boost control), though there is also the potential for it to really take the octane limiting edge off it - so per psi you may get reasonable numbers considering the size turbo and the whole stock manifolds etc situation.

It's a very different combo for an RB25, no doubt part of why there is so much interest.

That comment of yours seems rather prescient Lith...

Just had word the reason for the delay is they're troubleshooting boost control/ramp rate issues. Believing it due to be down to actuator not performing as it should, so he's in discussion with MTQ and tuner about solution. I'm not sure exactly what actuator it is, other than being a genuine Garrett item.

Having only seen second hand info, hard to say, but sounding suspiciously like what you've described just a minute ago when using 0.82 housing...

At the rate I'm going you'll probably be finished before me! Haha.

What's your setup?

Just on previous point, asked Josh (from Galvsport) if he thought 0.82 housing may be the culprit. He said there's no problem with the response; the issue is with the gate opening prematurely leading to lazy ramp up.

Oh no way man you will be finished way before me.

I have been gathering parts etc while dragging my ass ( not literally like a dog) getting shit done around the house, start my build next month.

Have been buy parts when cash is available and thankfully I have majority of the exy stuff now so it is all my own labour to come.

Nothing real flash really, not looking to join the 300 killa wasp class yet just after a good responsive daily that doesn't draw too much attention from the plod.

Normal mods like forward facing Freddy manifold, high mount exhaust manifold with IWG gtx3076, looking at the .63 housing as well for response same as you,

Ps 2000 Haltech with long loom and perhaps flex fuel so I can run E85 when I update the Std injectors and throttle body for now until the need for more speed oh and the cash allows lol

I hear good things about Galvsport, talked to them a few times and always been helpful, I go through a mate Peter up at Gidgie motors up in the hills now though.

Cheers and look forward to your end results

My first time getting work done through Galvsport. Read many good things about quality of their work. Pretty keen to finally get a good look at their work.

Noticed you said GTX3076. We're mostly talking about the baby GTX3067 in this thread though. Typo?

    • Yep, yeah would need to do the flywheel although the 6 bolt NA clutch can handle a 20de if just wants to replace the stocker.
    • No it's fine. Heat sleeve is a thing. With oil running through it it is unlikely. Engine off heat soak can be a thing though. There is no way that you have a leak through the hose. That has pressure behind it and any small hole will turn into a large one in very short order. It is so much more likely to be leaking from the connection.
    • Really? That's piss weak. I didn't know they hobbled the shitboxen that badly. OK. So probs need to buy a flywheel too. But that's not too bad.
    • Hi all. I already posted some newbie-ish questions here and there but this will be my first "big" post. Last summer I went and fulfilled a kind of childhood wish, because I just thought I needed this experience in my life no matter what. The car I bought is a mildly modded 1995 BCNR33 Vspec. It was repainted to a metallic orange color all around and it had all windows reseated. Not so well done black respray in the trunk and a metallic black in the engine bay. From outside it looks very nice except for a minor paint error on the roof and the rear spats needing new adhesive tape. The inside is pretty clean and no broken plastics, missing or faded buttons. Even the adjustable mirrors and trunk antenna work like a charm. Despite a moderately long list of issues I don't (yet) regret buying this car. Most mechanical problems are just due to age, like worn rubbers here and there. The underside sadly has lots of corrosion, especially to the back. It looks like it either has been driven in the winter for a while or it lived near the saltwater in Japan, the rust is nothing terrible but it'll require to be looked after. Mostly panel gaps and all the mounted components underneath are a bit crusty, but I don't think anywhere has progressed so badly that there's going to be holes. Front right jacking rail is crushed and needs some care so it doesn't develop into a rust crater at some point. Worst part is definitely the strut towers. I thought they looked fine but after taking off the strut bar I noticed that it actually started bulging up on the passenger side. Probably would have passed on the car or negotiated down by some thousand Euros more if I had noticed this before buying, but here we are. Trunk area also has signs that there was a water leak to the interior once but nothing too crazy, I guess lots of Skylines had this at some point. As for the list of (known) issues, I'll try to make this compact. I hope the coloring is self explanatory. Mechanical: -Various busted or soon-to-be busted rubber bushings and ball joints. Will replace ball joints with OEM or better and bushings with polyurethane where possible. -Shaking steering wheel at above 80kph -downshift from 5th to 4th is a bit crunchy unless I rev-match, might just try to renew the shifter assembly, but it's not a priority issue -tailshaft centre bearing could use a replacement, is it worth going 1-piece tailshaft as it doesn't look too fresh all around? Chassis: -underbody corrosion on many spots and in hollow spaces, needs to be treated -corrosion on many bolts, hoses, lines, suspension components, subframes, will be treated when replacing of the bushings is needed as time goes on -strut tower top panels and some of the surrounding panels are rusty, so needs fixing. Will look into doing this with a buddy in the winter, otherwise bite the bullet and pay a professional -driver side door is misaligned to the body and needs to go a slight bit more inwards -both door windows are misaligned and have an airgap where the window meets the door at the B pillar -The Aerocatch latches for the bonnet have locks but no keys, need new keys. -driver side door window is kind of gritty and could use a polish -damaged jacking rails and front frame rails, from people lifting the car the wrong way, might have this fixed by a bodyshop Electrical: -Nismo tachometer is just bouncing and displaying nonsense, supposedly worked fine when the stock ECU was still in the car -An old Greddy boost controller sits on the dash which will be removed as it servers no purpose anymore. -a led segment rpm gauge is on the steering column, will probably also be (re-)moved once the Nismo tacho is working correctly -there was an attempt to make the sound system better by the previous owner but it was just inducing noise all the time, ripped out the amp and filters in the back, no music for now -trunk antenna goes up as long as the radio is on regardless of the mode, I want it to only rise if I choose Radio specifically or per switch -3rd brake light is a bit dimmer than the taillights but everything was converted to LEDs so mabye now it just seems dimmer? -reverse light flickers, have to test if that behavior changes when I fiddle with the gear stick. Hope I can get around changing the switch. -Left side taillight, blinker section has minor water intake and is humid after washing. Other side has a hole in it, probably for that exact reason. I'll probably reseal them entirely and plug the holes. Engine: -minor coolant drips on one or the other hose -rear turbo leaks oil onto the exhaust making the car essentially undriveable due to fire hazard -Oil filter relocation kit has an oil drip at the Dash lines, will probably make a new connection there and tighten real good and pray -throttle body assembly is slightly stuck for the first throttle pedal input after sitting for a while I'm always open to suggestions and advice from more experienced people, I'm sure half of this list is easily dealt with and just requires some time and effort to sort out properly. Once I have some proper pictures of the car I will post some in this thread, I just have to remember to take some more once I get the chance to. Will post updates when I have news on anything, I want to try to keep this thread as kind of a logbook as well. Ultimately my goal for this car is to just enjoy it. An engine rebuild is probably going to happen sometime as well, because it is old after all. It will never be fully new again, I am just not that rich. But I want it to look good, work well and not rot away while I drive it. I'm probably gonna spend a lot of money on this journey, hopefully not an unreasonable amount.
    • Hi all. So one of my major issues at the moment is my rear turbo leaking oil on the exhaust (and the general area). I presumed it was the rock hard super old drain hose, which it was not. So now I am in the midst of removing the rear turbo to get access to the banjo bolt that goes into the turbo oil feed. As one of the previous owners accidentally? tore off the OEM oil feed hardline that reaches behind the turbo, they ran braided lines directly to the turbo, presumably PTFE. Now, regardless if the line has rubber or teflon inside, is it just generally a bad idea to do this? I imagine these lines get quite hot being between the engine, turbo core and exhaust manifold. I suppose it's not too far fetched to think the line may even have melted. I'd love to hear your opinions on this as as the replacement OEM hardline piece is 130 per unit. And cutting open the currently mounted line to see inside will mean I just have to get a replacement either way. So far I am hoping maybe the bolt just loosened or (god forbid) they forgot one of the crush washers.
