I was making 320kw with 16psi, each psi increase was giving a solid 10-12 kw's so if that kept up I think it would of easily smashed 400kw, however, Ive been told after a certain psi it would stop giving so freely,

if a gt3076 is rated at 520hp and has made 360kw, then a gtx should do 400kw you'd think.

Hi guys

Currently running a gtx3076 .82 rear housing on my s2 r33 rb25, it's got a 50mm external gate aswell. What's the max power I can get out of this turbo? I'm making 305rwkw on 19 pound 98 octane tomei valve springs only otherwise it's unopened.

You're in a similar boat to me in that 98 will hold back the full potential of the GTX, good to hear you made 300+ though as I have a very similar set up to yours nearly ready to put together. Have you had a read of the WMI thread? If you don't have ethanol readily available it may be worth looking into...

no way it's going to make 480rwkw... i could see it at the fly tho... just

Those ratings will be crank hp estimates - and very rough really, going from the 64lb/min peak flow the compressor is rated to.

Never seen a GTX3076R "all in" yet, but I'd expect that it'll be possible to crack 400kw @ wheels on E85 on a good setup.

Glad to see newer members are making good use of the discussions we've had on this forum :)

Powertune have managed 400kw from a couple of SR's with GTX3076Rs. AFAIK their dyno is not super high reading or anything, its fairly well trusted.

That being said I would say there is definitely 400 in one on an RB25.

They also made over 370kw with a 3076 which we found physically impossible no matter how hard it was pushed! :P

I think 400kw is possible though, there is one in the 300kw club thread thingo at 384kw or something from memory!

have you seen their ramp rates? they're too short.. hence the numbers.. (just saying)

We've seen 370 from a 3076R a number of times on this forum, even 380 IIRC... Lith posted one which was a 52T, also up at that level.

There are often reasons beyond the turbo itself why some of us can get there and others can't.

John, I know the talk yet still believe the results are within reason. Not 20% variance or anything silly like that.

Fair enough.... Just a lot of interesting results there! And some interesting mishaps on mates cars....

A lot of those reasons come down to dyno. When talking dyno expectations on threads on SAU I am using a second language, I have to convert everything from what I am used to (Dynapacks with SAE correction running ~9s sweeps) to understand or suggest numbers on here. Even then not all DD dynos read the same for whatever reasons. It is clear to me that JEM's dyno reads much lower than I am used to - they have multiple 56T GT3076R results on strong setups which are maxed out under 500whp/373rwkw yet I've seen 56T GT3076Rs make that or more with more basic setups.

Supporting mods I have are a plazmaman plenum,044 intank,6 boost manifold, 740cc tomei injectors. Could possibly add another 044 pump and surge tank I have to the mix aswell. I have another turbo I might throw on later on down the track to push big numbers. I'm trying to avoid the e85 route as much as I can atm and stick to 98 :) The cars running really rich at this power level aswell

Trusted? They still have a broken air temp sensor?

Got pics of the setup? I like pics :D

You shouldnt need another 044 at your current power level!

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
