Sure do.

What did you pay for your turbo?

 

Car made around 390kws, was pretty responsive to. Plenty of fun!

I paid $2600 brand new man, I would think you would be fair asking 1500 for your turbo by itself ?

can I please see your graph now ? Hahah

I would say I’m sorry for reviving an old thread, but I’m not, so I won’t.

......soooooo.......after literally 5 years of planning and slowly gathering parts, I finally got my HTA3076 1.01ar twin scroll setup on the rollers for the first time.

S13, rb25 s1, forged Ross pistons, acl bearings, Oem crank and rods, Oem oil pump, Cometic 1.1 head gasket, standard head with hks 256 8.8 in / 264 9.1 ex cams and performance springs kit, RB26 itbs oversized to 49mm and a cnc port matched Rb26 nismo plenum all mounted using a RIPS RB25 neo cut&shut adapter also port matched, Bosch 1650cc injectors on a custom mounted genuine HKS fuel rail, genuine R31house version 2 twin scroll manifold with individual egt’s on each runner, hta3076 genuine garrett 1.01ar twin scroll rear housing, 4” stainless exhaust from turbo back with 4” AES butterfly valve off the dump and AES 4” muffler, all stainless piping and intake with true 4” HPI stainless mesh pod, HKS TypeR 103mm thick S13 intercooler, genuine ARC r32 gtr grille oil cooler/washer-oil catch/rad swirl pot/reservoir,  blitz radiator & 2x 14” ultra slim maradyne puller fans, ross balencer, PRP trigger kit, PRP r35 coil kit + splitfire r35 coils, ARD alternator and PRP bracket, hks ex cam gear, Greddy intake rb25 VCT cam gear, greddy type R bov custom anodised PRP purple, hks timing belt, link Fury G4+ ecu and 12volt performance custom wiring, AIM link colour dash, 4 bar map sensor, Turbosmart fpr, 1x walbro 255 lift/2x walbro 460 in tank, Taarks v3 surge tank, all lines replaced and upgraded for everything, tial 38mm MVS external gates both with screamers etc. etc.

Graph is only on gate pressure with 20spi springs, the exhaust 4” butterfly is closed and there is zero boost control turned on.

It will be returned to the Dyno once wideband is sorted properly in the dump, then it will get 30psi and an open 4” butterfly. It’s already quite responsive with 300whp & 20psi at 3500rpm. This Dyno is a renowned heart breaker so I’m pretty happy so far with the resultant response.

Nice result mate! 

Lots of hard work put into the setup covering all the finer details which is showing in your results so far! 

Driven the car yet? 

Thank you brother, I’m very glad to read that you see that effort in the finer things haha, I’m quite happy with it so far. My aim was 20psi by 3500rpm with the full send tune (boost control on and 4” butterfly open) and the fact it does exactly that as is at the moment is monumental to me personally haha.

The car still needs body assembly so have only driving it approximately 100m up my street and back, it starts making positive pressure literally as soon as I crack the throttles, the response is insane and better than what’s shown on the graph honestly.

I can’t wait for 30psi and full send tune!!

nice setup. is the clutch a RB one or a 370z one?

RB clutch, had a billet spacer made to sit under the concentric slave to help make it all work. You can see the spacer in the photo above where you see the green/stainless slave.

Thank you kind sir.

Many rare and highly specific parts in there haha ☺️🏼

Should do a build thread would love to see the rest of the car if engine bay and brake setup is that neat. 

Also great results on Dyno, how is the car to drive with the 6 speed?

Yeah I may do that actually, when I get a chance.

haven’t driven it further than 2nd gear yet mans, will update when I do tho.....perhaps in a build thread.

Instead of starting a new topic I'm going to revive this zombie.   Forced Performance/Xona Rotor have started releasing turbos based off their latest range of compressor wheels, the "XRE" range and so far they are looking like the ducks nuts.

As people who've been around a while would know, I've generally liked what FP do and been pretty excited about their UHF turbines but haven't pushed the idea *that* hard in the RB world as there have been theories and murmerings I've heard which have had me not 100% confident of how well they'd work on this platform.  At face value everything sounds perfect, the turbines are low inertia, have very low back pressure, and their compressors had decent flow for their size... but unfortunately there is more to the picture.

This isn't gospel persay, just me extrapolating and theorising - though it's not all completely unfounded and I'm just painting a picture of why the previous generation may not really reflect on what we should expect with the new ones.

The HTZ compressors used on the Xonas ALSO like higher pressure ratios to do their flow, and the UHF turbine wheels seem to like to operate at higher rpm to generate shaft torque.  This essentially ended up meaning the Xonas only really suited RB/2J engines when using larger exducers (94mm+) but those exducers kept the rpm down on the 69S turbine that on paper also suited best, meaning they potentially struggled to drive the larger compressor as well as you'd hope.   Instead of high EMAP, there was the risk of more lag than you'd hope and actually "running out of turbine" in terms of not actually having enough shaft torque to drive the compressor fast enough to make the numbers.   This could potentially end up with people undersizing and overspeeding their compressors on larger engines to try and make the numbers they were looking for - and essentially "look" like they were getting away with it because the crazy not-restrictive UHF turbine stiiilll didn't get up generating massive back pressure.    Not ideal, but this is how some went forward.

Bring on the new releases (so far), the XRE6869S and the XRE7169S - running a 88mm and a 92mm exducer respectively, both in that mid 80-mid 90mm exducer range that seemed to compliment the 69S turbine very very well, but *also* pumping a crapload of air for their size.   A lot of the magic I expect to start showing up when people use these will probably be attributed to the new compressor aero but I think the MUCH better match between compressor and turbine behaviour will make the gains way way better than expected, and start actually showing the magic the UHF turbines should have already had the potential for - just hadn't got the right pump for the job.

The XRE6869S:

XRE68xx_X4Cweb_1024x1024@2x.jpg?v=1706647868

This is a 68mm inducer compressor capable of 105lb/min of airflow max, paired up with a low inertia turbine.  Picture something capable of 1000hp @ hubs on E85 with good spool and lower inertia than most things capable of this kind of power.   The Xona 68mm turbos have already been known to be better underfoot and lower EMAP than their key opposition, but the old 68mm/94mm 95lb/min compressor was maybe not quite up to the task of a complete takeover in that "68mm turbo for street use" zone.   The new 68/88 105lb/min jobby on the other hand, should be very interesting.   Unsurprisingly they've been proven to outspool and significantly outflow the old XR9569S which were already beasts.

The XRE7169S:

XRE71xx_X4Cweb_1024x1024@2x.jpg?v=1707147054

This is something that could be VERY interesting to see on an RB.  I know of these replacing PTE7275s (and in one case even twin 7675s) and matching or improving their power but MASSIVELY improving power delivery.   They are already proven to be absolute monsters for their size, talking 1100-1200hp @ hubs on ethanol and beyond that on methanol on full send - but without the "Big frame" power delivery of most things capable of these power levels.   

The nuts thing with these is you can literally get both turbos on what is essentially a GT3582R style frame, T3 flanged etc.   There will be a slight cost to compressor flow with the old GT3582R style compressor cover footprint but not THAT much.  

There have been posts in this forum where people have antagonised about whether to go with a 6870 vs 7275 or jumping from a EFR9180 to a 9280 vs jumping to another brand and losing a tonne of response - when talking about drifting into that 1000hp+ mark but still being a bit shy of turning the car into something that behaves completely like a drag car.  These guys may make that compromise much less so much of one.

Any idea on pricing? They do some nice high PR small frame stuff too.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
