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?

    • 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).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
