i have been told by much research any my tuner that the gt 3076 is much better

as i have already purchased turbo i want to know who is runnin ither of these setups mainly the 3040 how much power and when is it coming on full boost ?

how much response am i loosing with the 3040 compared to the 3076

with a mix of my current set up ill have

larger pump

power fc/z32

plazmaman intake plenum

sard 550cc injectors

3inch stainless straigh through

splitfires

front mount

custom highmount manifold (external gate)

gt3040

hypergate 45mm turbosmart

gizmo ibc boost controler

the aim is around 290rwkw

thanks in advance john

The difference in spool between a GT3076 and the GT3040 isn't much at all, about 100-200rpm different.

I am guessing you have the 0.63 rear?? This is going to bring the turbo on reasonably early but will limit the top end power, 290rwkw might be tight with the small rear on pump. 0.82 rear and/or E85 you will get there easily.

Same turbine. 40 stands for 82mm comp wheel. There will be a bit of differences in response and I personally believe the 82mm comp wheel is too larger for the 60mm turbine, specially in a .63 rear. will make turbine end super hot.

+1

It might also surge in lower RPMs given the front wheel. The 3040 IMO was effectively redundant when the 3076 52T came out some years ago (where the 3040 was the only option 6-7 years ago).

Also .63 rear for a GT30 - just doesn't work. Get the .82

Does that mean the 0.63 rear on my Precision 5558 is rubbish aswl? :unsure: Or diff kettle of fish?

i had a very similar issue with my 3037, Rear used to glow red just from doing sweet fa

I believe yours is other way round, some thing similar to a 3576. So a large turbine wheel with a med frame comp in a small turbine housing. The large inducer and exducer of the big turbine wheel will compensate for the small housing.

Interesting :)

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
