At this stage for dyno sheet I only have one with a 1KG actuator, not a very good boost controller either.

http://www.digi-hardware.com/images/dynosh.../atr43360hp.jpg

The best result a customer had was 282rwkws on 17psi with a strong actuator. But have not yet sent me his dyno sheet.

A/R generally stands for the geometric characteristic of the housing. Bigger housings with greater A/R No. flows more, greater top end power, more lag. Small turbine housings picks up better response, but less top end. All turbine housings are made and machined here with cast steel with mixture of inconel.

oh ok, so you make your own rear housings? I know what the .82 means, i just didnt know if it was custom made or off a vl turbo or sumthing

i will keep in touch in regard to the ball bearing gt3076r with .82 rear bolt on housing (the front is the stock rb25 style housing too right?)

would u be able to do it for 1850 with stronger actuator fitted and delivered to perth ?

so just to confirm, its a straight bolt on, slighly shorter cartridge and needs lines to suit a garret gt30 core but everything else should bolt straight up fine?

Yes its a custom made housing with flange to adapt to stock manifold and dump. The inside of it we can machine it to suit most of GT3x wheels.

Compressor housings we normally use .60 size with 3inch inlet and 2 inch round outlet. you are going to need a 90 degrees rubber hose and a 3inch straight hose if you are going to connect them to your stock intake and cooler pipes.

We can modify the GT30's bearing housings to suit stock water and oil lines. and supply the oil drain adaptor. So you don't need to get any aftermarket feeding lines

Price wise for the Garrett GT3076 56T with .82 custom bolton turbine housing, including modifications to bearing housing and high pressure actuator I can do for $2000 including GST delivered, Won't be able to do it any cheaper.

Ok just seeing if I understand this correctly:

- Standard High Flow R34 470hp, exterior is completely standard

- PU High Flow R33/34 500hp, exterior is completely standard

- ATR43G3: 520HP in .63 Rear, aftermarket turbo, so exterior is NOT standard

- ATR43G4: 600HP in .84 rear, aftermarket turbo, so exterior is NOT standard

- GT3076 spec turbo in .82 turbine housing, aftermarket turbo, so exterior is NOT standard

Is that right?

- Standard High Flow R34 470hp, exterior is completely standard

- PU High Flow R33/34 500hp, this includes .82 turbine housing and high pressure actuator. Standard Comp housing

- ATR43G3: 520HP in .63 Rear, aftermarket turbo, standard actuator. (high pressure actuator optional)

- ATR43G4: 600HP in .84 rear, aftermarket turbo, standard actuator. (high pressure actuator optional)

- GT3076 spec turbo in .82 turbine housing, exterior of compressor is standard, but aftermarket exhaust housing. standard actuator. (high pressure actuator optional)

All bearing housings has been modified to suit RB25's water lines, Oil lines for sleeve bearing models is supplied. Oil feeding thread for BB turbos has been modified to suit RB25's oil line. Oil drain adaptor for BB turbos is supplied.

That sounds fantastic!

Just took car for another run to realise i wasnt hitting r&r at 12psi. i had a dodgy afm connector. Realised this after idle started going weird. When in engine bay knocked afm plug and car stalled. fixed as best i can and running better hitting around 14.5 psi dosnt really start making boost until 3500 slowly builds up to about 4psi at 4000 and then it really starts taking off. hitting r&r flat stop around 12psi then keeps going. sounds quite mean when you slap throttle closed as running no BOV. gonna install wideband unit today hopefully then start alittle tunning

You need to run a BOV and reduce surge pressure. Not good for the turbo at all.

Any way, the standard actuator is ok about 15psi. You will need the high pressure actuator for any thing higher.

But should be able to get close to 270rwkws on 15psi with supporting mods and a good tune.

is the need for a bov based on problems/failed turbo's of yours? from what i know it is a myth. plenty of turbo cars have been released without a factory bov

You will find few fords with GT3582Rs twisted shafts due to BOV blockage. I've personally repaired few. All cars that came out of factory with a T25 or bigger size turbos are fitted with some sort of release valve. For the ones that didn't are not released for more then 7psi.

Just think about, what happens to the boost inside your cooler piping and cooler once the throttle is shut.

The turbine shaft is made to drive compressor wheel. not other way round. Surge at 20psi acts as a hammer striking on the comp wheels every time you let go the accelerator.

We did some minor fabrications to the compressor collars and comp side half shaft act against this problem. So far I've not seen any of our turbos having this type of issue.

How ever running a BOV for high boost application is a essential for any turbochargers that is out there.

What boost will the standard actuator run at with out any other forms of boost control?

standard will run about 9 psi without boost controller. Once boost controller is adapted it can hold a max of 15psi to red line. High pressure actuators are ok to hold 21psi.

Quick question Stao, (and anyone else that can assist)

With the actuator controlling my hiflow turbo, i currently run 14 psi.

I get 14 psi by 3 500 RPM but by the time i get to 6-7000RPM, boost drops to 11PSI, every gear. Have you heard of this problem before and where do you think the problem is.

I have checked the Cooler-all ok

Took off exhaust- Still same problem.

What else would you suggest? I just want to run 14 psi constantly. Cheers Stao.

check intake pipe (make sure it does not shut under boost). pre-load few rounds on the actuator or go for the high pressure actuator.

    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below. 
    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
