fatz,

I've been looking at a few compressor maps (GT35 .50 a/r)

It appears if you run 20psi you will run over the choke line with anything over 7000-7500rpm on a rb26.

Playing with airflow figures from the 4ltr I can see (i think) why this turbo was selected.

Thats providing I know what I am doing. Still getting the hang of it. :(

Going by what I can see, I would expect power to either flatten out (lack of efficiency = hot air) and or boost to drop off at the top end. It will be interesting to see really what happens.

who knows but hey ill try

dyno dynamics..

could be my fault i just assumed thats what it was... (i dont know shit form clay when it comes to dynos its only the second time i have been near one)

but here is a more accurate test

down the main straight a oran park racing with a gibson hr31 which has 270rwkw he pulled about 3 car lengths on me (he weigh in about 200-300kg less)... then at the end of the straight he hit the breaks and i almost went up his bum man what a rush driving along side those beasts loved it...

Cubes , would be very interested to see the compressor map of the GT40 comp in .50 E cover . Any chance of posting it ?

Thanks A .

I was looking at a GT35 .50 comp map.

I am a little confused at the moment as the GT35 uses a GT40 model comp wheel.

I've checked out a GT40 comp map with a .58 comp cover which is as close as I can get, the map is much better suited and allows 20psi right up until 8500 with around 55lb/min worth of air before it begins to choke. BUT this comp map was using a slightly larger comp cover so choking may begin at around 8000rpm.

Garret don't list a GT40 with the ford specs (exhaust a/r & comp cover), that doesn't mean it isn't a custom job.

Garret do list a GT35 with the exact ford turbo specs (.50 comp over and 1.05a/r exhaust a/r). Being the GT35 uses a GT40 model wheel could it be this?

If you were to use the GT40, 20psi & an RB26 that were to rev to 10,000rpm it would completely use the comp map (max 63lb/min).

An RB30DET would need 8500rpm & 20psi to flow the same air.

I'm sure it will keep making power as it goes in to choke as these little stock T3 turbos must be constantly in choke from anything above 5500rpm lol. :)

Too hard basket. :(

Discopotato, the pdf can be dloaded from Garrett.

Fatz... If you can get the rev's/airflow via cams I can see 340rwkw.. :)

by all acounts it should flow some more

who knows....the boost went to 1.2 bar at 5000 rpm it made almost 270 then before greg stoped to turn it down abit

ill get a power fc and let greg loose with some injectors ect and some cams athen we will see what it can do

dont really know just happy with it as is at the moment

Joel its not difficult to be confused with Garretts PDF . I think the maps of the GT32 and GT40 may be describing bush bearing turbos . In that list GT30R and GT35R , I think the "R" denotes GT series Ball Bearing CHRA . If you looked at the GT42 it shows the optional BB CHRA .

With the comp covers the maps don't tell if they are TO4E or TO4S . I know for sure that Garrett did the E covers in .50/60/70 ARR's where the TO4S ARR's are all over the place with odd ball no's to suit diesel apps .

The 50 E cover would not have any meat left over with an 82mm compressor in it . Ford would have looked into the maximum flow of the cover and probably decided it was enough for 240KW (crank) with effectivly the 4 psi that makes it to the inlet manifold . Brett tells me that 6psi leaves the compressor and 4psi leaves the intercooler .

I reckon looking at the large 1.06 ARR turbine housing and adequate ? comp cover Ford were trying hard to have little restriction on the exhaust side , and just enough inlet flow to get the power rating .

Garrett and Ford would have the compressor map for this combination but getting it out of them would be difficult .

As an RB bolt on these should be pretty good , its just a pity Garrett haven't done the .82 turbine housings as well .

It will be interesting to see the actual numbers.. 5psi doesn't sound like much but it may very well prove to give a nice increase in power with the ol' rb at low rev's.

I'm about to select a comp cover for my turbo so I need to do a bit of reading up on these TO4E and TO4S comp covers.

    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
    • That's some really horrible design with the way it's cut/shaped! Is there much damage to the box that failed in? IE, new fork and you can go again, or is it a total rebuild again? Id be trying to build that piece from scratch, and getting some reliefs added in the corner to hopefully stop breakage, and then swapping boxes ASAP, and then doing the same to the currently good working box. I'm assuming hard shifts have not been friendly to it!
