with a standard rb25 head, external gate

what is the max boost it should run?

what revs can I expect full boost?

about what power?

the workshop is recommending against another china turbo against my better judgement....

On a 2.5ltr i ran 17psi 270-280rwkw and it was on by 4000-4200rpm.

370rwkw on jungle juice @ 24psi... lots of room to move.

18-20psi with a 3ltr you should see ~330rwkw on PULP without a drama.

You'd take a rough guess it'll be on nicely around 3300-3500rpm with a 3ltr.

Lets see your china turbo do that you tightass accountant :thumbsup:

ive got a cheap china turbo on ny 30 atm (TO4e with a 0.62? rear) make 14psi by 2000 but then drops down to 10 as its physically chocking the exhaust. still makes 230rwkw at 10psi though.

im getting a GT35r for it now :thumbsup:

yeah china t04e is what I am running now. 260awkw @18psi. full boost at 2000. external gate, it holds boost perfectly all the way.

they break a lot which doesn't worry me...but the mechanic is trying to talk me into something more expensive.

hmmm. sounds like you done the same thing for the same reasone i have. its weird that urs is flowing fine, as my tuner had said boost issues with mine (using the ViPEC for EBC). My tuner is also the one pushing for a Garrett etc

conspiracy???

try for a 3071?

a 3076 is seeing positive boost at 2000, so the 3071 should be better suited to your needs.

spend the money duncan by the time you replace your china turbos once a year you might as well have just bought a decent one :thumbsup:

pfft, 300 bucks and 30 min work. thats like 7 years worth :thumbsup:

yeah that's how the maths looks to me too....but I did commit to looking into something else. Strangely the turbo importer does not think they have to warrant the turbo when it fails ;)

Hi Duncan

I have one on the R33. You are welcome to try it out.

thanks mate....might do...standard capacity, head and cams right?

Get a GTT highflowed by Gcg that should do it.

I'll check out 3071 and hi flows I guess, maybe gtrs. I was assuming the hi flows and gtrs would be a little small on a 3l even for response, maybe not.

I wouldnt use a high flowed GTT turbo by GCG as the main benefit is the standard exterior for legal reasons. Sure its a reasonable turbo but for the cost of over $2k you can get a much better turbo.

I would be careful that you dont completely strangle the engine with a restrictive turbo, I wouldnt go any smaller than a 3071 on a 30. How bout a 3071 with 0.63 housing? That would be ridiculously responsive.

Standard RB25 cams etc (but HKS cast manifold). It would give you an idea of how it delivers power. Obviously the extra cubes is offset by the extra weight of the stagea so I would be a fairly close comparison.

I'll pm my number.

are you using a standard manifold??(exhaust) . i got a cheapy kkr 560 but was a rip off of one. im using an external gate (progate 45 mm on my 30)because the original one is opening at 20 psi. garret gt30/40's are now known as gt3082 .

Its got a china stainless zorst manifold and china front facing plenum as well.

From looking further there must be at least 2 or maybe 3 different turbos called 3040 because people mention .63 all the way to 1.02, and peak power ranges from 270 to 330. If I go one of these I'll make sure its the smallest one.

still looking into another china turbo too.

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
