I must be missing something, whats the relevance to this discussion Marko?

I am making a statement that its a nice car, is that not allowed on sau?

about the same relevance as that 300,000 word 20 year old sig quote

hmmmm...i will amend my sig if its that much of an eyesore

Thought that may be the case!

enough with the bait! give it a rest

Always a bit sceptical when theres no corrections on a dyno dynamics graph for all we know that graph could be stock turbos with 200 degrees of intake compensation.. Before xmas my car made 492rwkw on e85 and 26psi on a pretty hot day with 28degrees AirTemp 49 degrees InletTemp compensation worked in the figure i thought nice not much to go till 500 now. After having a few problems we stopped tuning for the day, 2 days later went to another dyno, tune unchanged made 460rwkw i was like :mad:

Anyway dynos tell porkies we need more mph on the 1/4 in this thread.. :cheers:

There was a full thread on the car specs if you want to know more - rb29 was in the title IIRC.

"RB29 wow". Great thread, and that graph is pure car porn.

Hey question for you guys.. Im currently building my engine, and a thought crossed my mind.. The gtx3076r's compressor map shows it can flow around 65lbs/min of air at ~29psi. Could this translate into a hopeful ~530 - 550rwhp? Or ~400rwkw? I mean, could it be done for sake of argument..

The housing configuration i figured would be a 1.06 T4, most likely divided and mated to a twin scroll manifold.

Any thoughts guys? :)

I wouldn't, not unless you've seen anyone push one that hard and make that much power on a dyno type that gives results which reads in the area you aim to reach that power on. You certainly won't be getting that power from one on pump gas on any dyno, E85 or something similar would be a must.

400kw should be achieveable on E85 with a GTX3076R at least on a hub dyno, actually even potentially with a run of the mill GT3076R.

I thought the same thing, the GTX3076 compressor flows nearly 5 lbs more than the GT35 on paper so 400atw should be theoretically possible with enough boost.

Was definately thinking the e85 route aswell. IIRC, some of the supra guys have them running 26psi, so i figure the odd jump to 29psi would be ok. And because of the 1.06a/r, EGT temps *should* be fairly acceptable.. I think?

Wouldnt the gt3076 be out of its ideal efficiency? I mean, i havent seen one go past ~24psi, but then again i havent looked for that exact figure..

My build should be done around september, so might push it to 29psi to see if its achievable.. For science-sake :)

Scotty, glad to see im not the only one! :D i know the gtx are marginally slower coming onto boost, but i figure the divided housing mated to a twin scroll mani should bring it back to bee's dick of difference.

Thanks for the input gents! :D

The normal GT3076Rs have been pushed up past that before and made good power, but yeah they are definitely pushing shxt up a hill. I reckon the gun choice for what you're looking at doing would be a FP GT3076RHTA personally.... have a look into those while you're considering it.

They are claimed as 59lb/min, which sounds underwhelming compared to the GTX but bare in mind the maximum flow is rated to whatever flow efficiency the company decide to use as a cut-off and isn't an absolute - and also Garrett themselves have ultimately said the 77mm compressor used on the GTX3076R isn't suited to the GT30 hotside by putting it on the GTX3576R, the extra flow is argueably redundant on the GT30 turbine.

I think the HTA76 wheel is basically the ultimate compressor for a GT30 turbine, the most flow you could put through that turbine with better response than a normal 56trim GT3076R wheel.

Problem with ramming so much boost etc, what happens if you get a slightly average batch of fuel?

There is really not enough room for error running uncontrolled fuels in street cars.

Mine is lasting well so far, haven't had any bad batches of Caltex yet either according to the wideband anyway. I did hear it pinking once on cruise one of the hot days we had, but its running 18:1 there for economy atm. >_<

Im not scared about the little VQ, seen many stock VQ30det's pushing big numbers (400-450kw) and the VQ25det runs the same rods, the main worry is the auto. Either way, I have spare engines and a trans here.

I doubt 400 is attainable with the auto, (I would be happy with 350) but a built RB with a GTX3076 would sh*t it in. I will check out the HTA76 further Lithium but I think the compressor housing is a little too big. Does it still run the Garrett rear?

    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
