Check you boost actuator; if it's soft or lazy it will be opening the internal gate too early, causing turbo to be laggy and not boost up properly.

I would personally take it to a mechanic that has a dyno and knows how to diagnose these issues.

*cough* :ermm:

To set the actuator properly the hole on the actuator shaft should be about half a hole short from fitting on the gate pin. You then need to pull the arm so that the pin fits through the hole. This will provide the right preload/tension on the gate.

The std ecu normally runs pretty rich, so if you have a std 7psi actuator i would dare say it would be ok. If you do not have the money for an ecu and tune i would seriously find a w/shop doing a "dyno day", adjust the actuator just before going on the dyno and inform the tuner/mechanic of the situation and to keep an eye/ear out for a/f ratios and detonation. This way it will only cost you about $40-$50, instead of the $120+ w/shops may charge to do a single run.

All the best.

The rear housing is more of the restriction, not the front

VG30 machine jobbies always choke up

Made over 270rwkw@16psi with mine, proven both on EAS and Racingline dyno's. My old one is now hanging off the side of a std NEO engine making over 270rwkw@16psi too. Any more boost was useless as that's about the limitations of this turbo.

Hardly a "choke up" though :rolleyes:

If its @ a limit on 16psi, its choking.

the compressor of that combo is good for over 300

Hello all, I thought i would dig up an old thread.

Have since apgraded injectors AFM and have a blitz front mount and its currently making around 250rwkw on 15psi.

Anyway from other ppls results i have seen that with the 0.62 rear housing this turbo doesnt make much more after around 16psi which i'm nearly at. My question is it worth fitting an adjustable ex cam gear to this setup and getting a retune? I'm running the standard air box with a k&n filter and standard everything else.

Thanks again

James

PS: i did a search but most of the results were in regards to stock turbos. Thought mine might be a little different

you should be able to make more power with an adjustable exh cam gear (assuming you are not talking a NEO RB25DET). at the very least you should be able to move the power curve around to where it helps you the most. you can make 5-10kw from midrange to top end.

Also i'm lead to beleive that my 0.62 rear housing is holding me back in regards to top end power (is there any way of testing which side is hiolding me backCan anything be done to get some more out of it or do i have to bite the bullet and upgrade to a 0.82 (or whatever it is).

Thanks

James

check out what the mafia squeezed out of the 0.63 housing on his GT3076.

i am pretty sure you can make at least 270rwkw or thereabouts with the 0.63 housing.

the compressor will clearly flow more but it should make 250rwkw comfortably.

sure you dont want to add Tomei poncams and some head work :P

lol nah, cant comment on that ^ as I havent got my baby back yet, soon my pretties, soon ....

for a larger rear housing, turbo off/on etc, labour from shop, id say $600 to supply/replace rear housing?

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
