ok got some results today about my car and the new turbo compared to the one here that im selling

its probably bad news for me and good news for who ever buys this turbo off me

basiacly i wasted money changing from this turbo too my new one which is a garret 3071r a tad smaller

my reason for swapping was that i thought i could get same power out of it but come on boost earlier

ok ran the car up on the dyno its not completely tuned yet but boost is still coming on almost the same ive probably picked up a few revs but not enough for my liking.....

so too all you rb20 lover's this turbo is as good as you can get for somethin making 240 - 260rwkw

and 250 - 320rwkw for an rb25

also ran up a dyno for a rb20 with similar setup with a gt 28 rs turbo and it only comes on power about 500 rpm before mine we crossed the graphs and for the difference in power you would have to be stupid not to go for the big turbo

so now that i know this im happy with my 20 it had 40rwkw more than the gt28 and came on 500rpms later

so in conclusion i should have kept this turbo ahahahah what a waste of cash

but good news for the buyer

ok here is more good news for the buyer

i got my car back 2 days ago and ive got a few things to look forward too on the dyno the curve looks very similar to my old turbs

the mechanic said that he wanted to play with it a bit thats why it took so long to tune....

he found that i was using a 12psi spring in the turbosmart wastegate and that it was starting to open at the 12psi like it should....

well this is what was causing me to boost late.......... he hasnt got one yet but he is getting me a 17psi spring start of next year...

he blocked up the wastegate to try it out and it actually made 4.5psi more at 5000 than it did before so at 5000 it had around 13.5psi once the spring is changed it will have 18psi - pretty much full boost and 2000 rpm to spare mate i was so happy to hear that.

so i probably didnt need to spend all this money and probably should have kept my other turbo but at least now i know i cant get any more out of it unless its on the bottle or race fuel.

and now everyone here knows that a gt3040 and a 3071r are very similar all the way through the curve.

now ive been the ginnea pig but its all good

it is an external gate

who ever buys it make sure to use a 17psi spring in the waste gate this is the reason i was hitting boost late i only had a 12 psi spring

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.
