The Old ATR43SS2 (Circa 2016) was a bit more urgent to drive, however it's a bit harder to compare as the motor had stock cams and power would nose over about the 6500rpm mark.

Where as the GTX3576R Gen 2 with generic Poncams just wants to keep going. Even at 7500rpm (at lower boost) the power was still climbing to the rev limiter (8000rpm). On the street you would easily get 1bar of positive pressure by 4200rpm and you would happily stretch its legs to 8000rpm giving you a nice 4000rpm to wind out.

Tuning wise, because the torque is quite flat, timing was quite flat too and the VE table also was quite flat, making tuning somewhat much easier than a motor that produces a mountain style torque curve.

Should be good to use the power this weekend at the track, it's been 3 years since I've seen the track.

Will be interested in seeing how the IAT's hold up if you've still got the 76 in there?

Currently have the bok choy dim sum 76mm Hybrid cooler in there.

Did pick up the Plazmaman Pro Series during the week. It's currently still wrapped up, no point throwing it on before the track day as I'm sure the boost control will need to be re-worked.

Makes sense, the drop in response and the stretch up in the rpm could be partly (or likely is partly) to do with the poncams - I remember a mate here with an SS2 ended up feeling doughier down low when he swapped to the poncams, but sounds like he didn't pick up the kind of flow up high that you have when going poncams and GTXG2 (as expected).

Looking forward to seeing how the Plazmaman goes, there could be some real happy wakey uppy goodness to come yet :)

Here's some info for you guys wondering about the GTX3576R gen 2 on a stock bottom end RB26 (Head refreshed).

Mine is single scroll, T3 with .82 housing. Running 272 cams. Made 440kw on E85 - roughly 25 psi or so. Full boost according to tuner is at around 3800-3900 rpm and pulls all the way to redline of 8100rpm.

Keen to see your real world review after running the twin butt plugs for so long, not to mention the GTX frankenfails. ?

Coming from -9's with all the fruit...

Single FTW - It rips! More power everywhere. Transient response is insane, zero lag between gear shifts, and that's with Kelford 272 long duration cams too!

Even on 98 pump fuel which is about 365kw @20psi it still shits all over the twin -9's.

And the GTX noise is just magic, it's like a HKS T51 ?

I still don't get why more people don't run the GTX3576R and still prefer to get a GTX307R. Two real world results on this forum, two happy(ish) Skyline owners.

One has a working car, one has just seized his motor from oil starvation on the track ?

Because it’s all about the compressor. The turbine side isn’t a consideration it seems. “750 hp” compressor, doesn’t matter if it can’t get out. ??

I was a click away from buying a GTX3582 gen 2, but glad i spoke with you before purchasing. 3576 is exactly the power band, response and drivability i was after in a street car in the 400-450kw range.

Oooo relevant discussion to what I'm considering for my build!

 

Im considering a GTX3576R vs a GTX3582R for my full time track car. I'm also looking to be in the 400-450rwkw range, although for longevity of the drive train and likely undersizing of my plumbs,  I'll be looking at operating primarily under 400kw with the option of turning it up on game day when I've decided its power and not driver skill that is holding me back ?

 

Normally I would look at these results and say it looks like the 3576R is going to give me exactly what I'm after, but what complicates it for me is 2 things:

1. Dedicated track car vs results on a street car. Considering my car is going to be living in the upper rev range, would it be better to go with the bigger housing for the same power in an attempt to help the turbo breathe, or is that just a waste of usable power band?

 

2. 10:1 compression ratio. I'm bumping the compression up for my build rather than dropping it down, but what does that mean as a consequence for turbo selection? 

 

At least initially, cams are going to be baby Tomei 264's because that is what is already in there and there's no funds to upgrade in that field yet. Perhaps later I will pull the head off again and go to a 272 or something more suited to track work, but I also dont mind sacrificing a bit of top end considering I'll probably have more power than I use anyway.

I would say a GTX3576R Gen 2 going past 450rwkW is a walk in the park with a well thought out head.

Being a track car, I personally would want a wide power band and run a slightly taller diff to really stretch out the gears. Imagine going through fish hook at Wakefield in 2nd without lighting up the tyres and following that through.

I know going around that in 3rd is just a bit sad in a high powered RB haha.

The 10:1 would definitely give you a meaty power band so perhaps a GTX3582R in twin scroll dis dat could be a potent mix

I'm sort of committed to single scroll now. I thought long and hard about twin scroll, but decided against it in the end when I bought the manifold. If I was going to do twin scroll, I wanted twin gates rather than the divided plumbing from the manifold, but decided the extra heat, packaging and point of failure were issues for me.

 

You make a good point with the diff ratio though. At the moment the diff is stock, and I know it's going to be wayyy too short for the power I'm aiming for around Barbagallo, I'll be on limiter in 4th or having to go to 5th for half of the straights, which is where you lose seconds. So I know I need to go taller, and hadnt really thought about that with picking a turbo.

I think 3.9 is perfect in terms of ratios, you can find the crown & pinon from a S15 Turbo Automatic, as I believe the R34 GT-t diff is a touch longer than the normal non ABS R200 diff.

With my limited research the C&P from a S15, R34 and R33 ABS "should" be interchangeable.

I know a hack driver that races a skyline with an rb25 poncams and manual that has done a few 59s around barbs

He has done it with a 3076 gen 1 and 3582 gen II at around that power mark.... he would chose the 3576 gen II for balance of response and power

He did it with a 4.3 diff ratio (but 4.11 or 3.9 prob better) and only had 7 gear changes the whole lap and a setup that everyone called shit ?

 

Or you should buy his 3582 gen II and he gets a bigger one ?

Oooo, valuable information, I wish I knew who you were referring to so I could have a conversation. Sounds like he should be in the low 57's really ??

 

If you'd opened with the "buy my 3582 gen II" bit, you wouldve had me, but you talked yourself out of a sale first! ? seriously though, have actually wanted to talk to you about a few things on your car that I haven't been involved with, so remind me to do that when you're visiting. When is that happening again? ??

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
