the vipec should give pretty good boost control if they spend time getting it setup, you can make a pretty decent sized map to tell the solenoid what to do under what conditions, even make it use less boost in lower gears.

Sounds about right to me, TiTAN/others, is this what I'm after, and does this price sound right?

That does sound good.

Another option I had a quote from GCG Turbochargers for a similar kit:

We can supply a kit which consists of the following:

-GT3076R with Garrett T3 5 Bolt turbine housing

-Spacer Plate

-Studs, Nuts and all Gaskets

-Oil and Water line kit

-Silicon elbow for intercooler plumbing

-Stainless dump pipe

Cost: $3000 as of 9th Feb 2010.

Not sure if that kit still exists at that price but I assume so. I can vouch for GCGs excellent service and after sales support!

I'll ask GCG what they can supply with similar contents, and what pricing of course....otherwise I don't need a dump, but a stainless 3.5" would be nice lol

Sounds good.

I just put a 3076R IW with a .82 rear on my NEO - on a conservative daily driver tune (ie MILES away from knock) it makes 273rwkw by 5.75k and holds to redline. No boost control issues at all with the IW. Yes external is better, but also more expensive and harder to 'hide' from our lovely lawmen. Got the genuine Garret article with the 4-bolt exhaust and got a custom manifold spacer and stud extensions made up. Cost me around the same.

Dyno sheet attached - wasn't floored on the dyno (or it's to do with ramp rate) so it looks a bit lazy onto boost - on the road in 2nd / 3rd 18psi is up just after 4k rpm. The lift in the midrange over krzysiu's graph i'll attribute to the NEO (saw the same thing at Morpowa comparing mine to an exact same setup R33). Doesn't feel 'laggy' at all (unless you're in 3rd at 50 or something silly) - obviously it takes a bit longer than factory to come on, but it's still much faster off boost than it used to be with a proper tune (i'm running a Haltech P2000 and 3bar map) - but the NEO does help i suppose...

I wouldn't go the .63 - lack of throttle control (= too much wheelspin) and excess heat / loss of headroom is not worth it, especially if you are chasing more down the track.

Also go the biggest injectors you can find to fit / tune nicely with the ECU you are getting - 270 odd rwkw turns into a nice 320+ on E85 as long as you have the scope in injector duty. 555's will run out before that on E85 and you'll wish you went bigger.

I went 750s and expecting 320-330rwkw when i get an E85 tune in a couple weeks - best to get big enough now so you don't change them later - E85 is the future it seems.

Just my 2 (or possibly 5) c.

sounds good except the part where it says bolts up to the standard skyline dump pipe,which would indicate an aftermarket exhaust housing and not a genuine garret 0.82 housing.

Garret make a 4 bolt exhaust housing that bolts straight up to the dump - it's what I'm running.

on the GCG website there are two different 3076 56trim models listed (for internal wastegate), one part number G700382-12 is the 100% standard off the shelf garrett unit, the other is this one G999999-5001 which doesnt have the anti surge slots, has a much smaller than 4" inlet, and looks to have a different compressor cover all together, then rather than garretts standard 5 bolt internal wastegate housings it has a custom turbine housing made to fit the stock skyline dump pipe design.

the off the shelf garrett version might be a little more to buy and fit but you know exactly what you are getting and that if you want to turn it up later it will do 300-320RWKW

Thanks for that Andrej

The only question I have regarding that package - does it use a genuine Garrett exhaust housing? It has been questioned, since apparently the Garrett exhaust housings don't bolt up to stock dumps....is this the "T3 spacer" and "stud kit turbine outlet" that is listed in the quote?

Thanks again smile.gif

Hi,

Your correct, the comp cover, core & cartridge are 100% genuine GARRETT components although to be able to bolt direct to the factory manifold and dump we use a quality Sonic cast exhaust housing made to exacting dimensions to ensure 100% performance.

To date each and every kit we have installed has come up prefect with excellent results and reliability for all customers.

Let me know if I can help you with any further information.

Cheers

no thoughts from those who've spoken up on the above?

I ordered my turbo directly from Garrett and got an IW housing with port shrouding that bolted straight up to both manifold and dump pipe... (as far as i'm aware...)

I got a lot of experience in that department :happy:

have a read of the 3076 thread, there's a large one in here from not too long ago with a lot of discussion about the pros and cons of using garrett vs non garrett rear housings etc.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      By Lithium · Posted

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
