If i do decide to upgrade the turbo it will be a GT35R .82 w/ported shroud like the 3076 i have now. Love the sound of it spooling :(

Also might see if i can get the collector cut off the manifold and have a split pulse one welded on.

It is a difficult choice, as the response VS power of the setup now is insane.

It may not be as simple as cutting off the collector and welding on a split pulse collector as the runners would need to grouped in such a way that each exhaust pulse fires into the correct side of the split pulse collector i.e. based on the firing order of the engine, each alternate exhaust pulse must fire into the opposite collector - otherwise high exhaust back pressure in the collector will be the result. Therefore, you would need to examine your firing order and exhaust manifold runner layout and firstly confirm this.

if it's still the original stainless manifold it isn't going to be an easy job to get it split properly. Its one with around 80mm of steel sheet between the merged runners and the flange so probably more dollars in custom work than it's worth. You'd basically have to remake half the manifold.

Even with a 6 boost or etm you'd have to chop off the merge collector and redo a fair chunk of manifold to get a decent result.

Is that the one softy was telling me about?

How does it go up macpass?

id love to hear what you think as ive got the gt3566-82r here waiting for my supra

New workshop looks the goods!

Mate call up GCG and talk to them about a 66mm front fan :thumbsup:

thats the one, drove it for the first time today on 5 psi, went well. might wind some more boost in tomorrow.

i just put a gt37r on a supra, you know you want to. do it. :/;):P

How did it go? we have a built jobbie with gt40 on it, customer underestimated the setup and injectors ran out @ 425rwkw i reckon low 500's @ reasonable boost. I only ask as i have a 2.5l (from gizzmo elecronics) soarer here also with a gt40 and i reckon the 37 would have been better.

Got a graph by any chance?

  • 2 months later...

Been a while so here is an update.

The GT3076 has been pulled off and will be replaced with a GT3582.

The new turbo has the new .70 surge slotted comp cover and .82 housing in single entry.

Had a nice oil catch/breather can custom made, with Speedflow fittings and braided lines snaking their way to new RB26 cam covers with Hi Octane Racing cam cover baffles, should keep the high RPM oil splashings at bay :)

The 26 covers were powder coated by "Craved" from CRAVED COATINGS, turned out very nice indeed!

Also have a Trust clear timing belt cover that will have to be "modified" so the VCT has room.

On our recent trip to Japan i picked up a Tomei Trax 2 way diff which ill be sending to Award Diff and Gearbox for them to work on.

Another tune is planned for the end of this month, should make around 420kw+ at the rears.

Gearing up for another big Powercruise in Feb. Cant wait to hand it to the big boys :)

That is excellent mate, feel free to share some photos when you can. I think I have to plan a Japan trip for some parts reconnaissance, so jealous after looking at those photos.

Good luck.

Post up pic's when you modify the cam gear cover :) I have RB26 covers on mine at the moment but left the RB25 cam gear cover on, it aint a perfect fit, but it aint that bad. Was thinking of getting a RB26 cam gear cover and modifying it.

You just going to cut the hole so the VCT sticks out a bit?

good sh1t Dave...wick her up mate. My car is coming back with me when i return at the end of the month...Powercruise is in Feb. eh?

Get in on it Paul. Nothing better than flying past blokes with engines sticking out of the bonnet.

Yeh have to get a small hole cut in the front of the cover, being clear plastic it shouldnt stand out hopefully.

yes and yes.

looks like you'll kill me on the straights though.

are there corners?...im out :)

might have to contact Peter at Fuel Control and get him to organise a 205ltr drum of CSR's finest to be delivered to us at the track.

Nathan/Dave, call me about supercruise :)

also Dave why the rb26 covers? Usually gtst owners just put the rear gtr badge on and leave it at that :) .....I'm expecting you to say something about oil control here

    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
    • There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows 
    • interesting....sounds like the later trans has software differences (or AM vs JDM). If I wasn't going down the tuning route it would be worth looking into retrofitting a new computer to the old box.
    • That's how it seems to me to. For the people that want huge power RBs (which it has been shown to do), this is great news, but that is not the same as trying to bring an rb 30 years forward....its not clear that there is a market of people who would pay 10s of thousands to do that
