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

Ahh ok - without E85 I'm really not sure of what to expect from a GTX3076R... somewhere in the low 300rwkw area at a guess.

100% - I've seen a couple of 98 results now and they are doing no better than garden variety GT.

E85 and a well sorted setup would be needed to see the 400kw ceiling mentioned earlier. A lot of boost involved, too.

Raises the question; is it worth it in comparison to a 35R or any number of other available options nowadays?

I don't want to get into a pissing contest but I have seriously not seen anything to suggest it spools as well as a GT3076R. I have however seen a couple of US based back to backs that led me to favor the 35R, hence my comment.


That being said the topic at hand is that (with enough boost) it could reach 400rwkw. A task readily achieved and surpassed by a 35R whilst at a lower pressure ratio.

Later on down the track if I do go down the 35r way can I put the turbo on my current rear housing? I think I read on here they were pretty similiar turbos

If you have the GTX there would be no real need to swap to a 35r i guess! BUT keep your eye on up and coming results as it sounds like there may be some new players in town (I've been so keen watching the discussions on the newer turbos and it seems people are starting to take a punt and try them, i hope they get good results :yes:)

Even better as I'm quite attached to the way this turbo spools up early and hits haha, any chance you can link me to a few discussions on here regarding these turbos?

Some of the info is spread through here -

There are 2 other threads with similar discussions, it is interesting stuff :)

Too easy, You're a legend mate :)

Haha i just love reading what people are doing, Its good to see new options coming out etc! I considered the GTX but it was all too hard to swap mine etc as i am lazy :P

Did anyone ask if you have a dyno sheet for the GTX? Interesting to see what its doing.

Ill be going in for a retune soon, changing the headgasket due to slight seepage, might bump the boost up abit more, ill post the dyno sheet aswell

Good man! More boost and wake that GTX up!

I know this is an old thread but it's exactly what I'm doing/looking into. I've had 333 RWKW on a GTX3076R (Gen 1) .86 housing at 21PSI in a stock internals RB25. Now inevitably it's failed and I'm rebuilding currently. However since I'm going forged with all the bits I want to push the turbo to it's upper limit. Because I'm doing time attack the higher boost smaller turbo concept for good responsive power is what I'm after. Looking at compressor maps is a worry though, although i cannot find a Gen 1 GTX map on garrets website??? I can find the Gen 2 and the GT3076R. Looking at the GT compressor map the surge line is at about 2.3 Comp ratio which is about 20PSI (ish) the Gen 2 GTX has a very nice wider map area at that section, but is probably not relevant. I also have an anti surge housing though, which is specifically for surge protection and does push that line to the left allowing more boost and a BOV is always run as well, also allowing more... but It's really guesswork it seems as to how far you can go. Previously I was thinking it would run our of air/puff in the high 20's maybe 30 PSI at the most. But now thinking it may fall well short, with no detail on how much further I can push whit the anti surge and the BOV. Any Turbo efficiency gurus? I do plan to break that 400 RWKW ceiling listed here though... If this is the right place I'll update when it's done, if this is the wrong place? Fee free to shift my post to the right area I?

For track work, abandon the GT30 idea.  Retained heat, poor scavenging, and relatively short turbo life are the results you should expect from a smaller (30 vs 35) turbine.  The fast response you speak of may simply result in frying rubber off corner exits, and lower high rpm torque.  Particularly for track, it's got to be able to exhale. 

The experiences of 34GEETEETEE tell the story in moving from the HTA 3076 to a EFR 8374.  It's in the turbine.

If you're fixed on the idea of Garrett gear, check what Tim has done with his on the above link, and how it's now performing with a GTW3476.  I wouldn't ignore the experiences of someone who's just done the upgrade, and run at WTAC just 4 days ago.

to give you a real life example on a track car with 'everything'

I have retained a gtx3076 0.82 rear on my car for near 5/ 6 years now - 4 years of drift and near 2 years of sprint / time attack. I run it on 6 boost 3" exhaust stock engine till now I just put forged in, pon cams and 1000cc ID's 44mm ext wastegate on e85

Ive had no probs with the turbo and its still in great nick, I think there are better options out there now I just don't want to sell this one for nothing and  fork out for a new setup just yet is the reason for keeping it so long and keep spending money just being on the track rather than change :2_grimacing:

in W.A we run pretty smallish 50 - 60 sec tracks not like SMSP etc so response can help anyway or that's what Im telling myself

The response / punch is definitely there I run a pretty high grip rear setup both suspension, tyre and rear wing. Have to control the traction even with all that with the right foot other wise anything under 4th gear still turns the tyres

On hub dyno my last result before I blew the engine was 550hp and 660nm at 23.5psi the tuner say there was prob about 2 more psi in it and that's it. Its full boost by 4000  max torque at 4500 max hp at 7000 That could be limited by a few things though like my 2.5" intercooler piping and only 500 x 300 intercooler (for response)

Just put new forged engine in haven't turned up the wick really yet but on a different roller dyno made 500hp and 585nm on 22psi after a few more track outings we are going to go to 25psi and by extrapolating we expect somewhere around 530 - 540 and 630nm

you'll hit your 400 rwkw @ 25psi ish pending dyno's (definitely hub and i'll achieve this on a roller too)   But I think that's all it has in it and that's running it at 98% type thing

 

The workshop I'm associated with has done a few RB25DET and RB25DET Neo + GTX3076R .82 combo's, in fact they've got a Neo + GEN2 GTX3076R there at the moment.

From memory the results are all in the 380-400+kW at the wheels range, the highest being 417ish at 27-28psi. The dyno is a current model Dyno Dynamics Dynotech 2WD roller dyno.

    • 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).
