well atleast im getting some feed back

but i was not fussed about lag if the turbo was still going to be faster than the stock turbo thats on there

R31Nismoid, youv said it wouldent be faster untill much later on so my question is answered( atleast from one person mabye other people have other ideas)

and there are gt70's http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...eplacement.html have a read and you will see

why they dont list it on the other page i dont know

either way i knew it would be very laggy but thought mabye it would still be better than the stock turbo

Define "better".

As you asked on a STOCK car - it's utterly pointless. You'll make @ best 220rwkw before the ECU has had enough, injectors & AFM are also @ limits.

So a car making nothing before 4500rpm, potentially then having the ECU hit R&R with such agressive ramp up, and then only after that making just a tad more than a factory turbo.. SO...

No, it will not be faster.

It's simple logic mate, doesnt take rocket science. Have a look in the RB25 thread @ the list of mods people have when installing GT3076/GT3540's.

The mods are long, and plentiful because that is whats required to make use of the turbo and actually realise the benefits of installing it.

Putting that turbo on, IMO you will not see decent boost/power (280-300rwkw) until at least 4000rpm ish. Add to the fact you need to get:

- injectors

- AFM

- ECU/tune

- clutch/maybe diff

- new dump, spacers, new piping & other mods to fit the turbo

- all the labour/effort associated

You've easily minced 7k without starting. And who knows what else will need attending to along the way.

Even if you don't get all the above... You will still need a spacer, custom piping, dump etc to fit it to begin with which is wasted money.

Yes its cheap, yes its bigger than the turbo you have now, sadly that means nothing.

With a .63 housing it may work, if you have the coin for all the mods to get it fueled up and flowing...

The stock turbo would probably still be faster to the speed limit though, a GT30 would be a much better choice. What are your plans for the car?

    • Give it 40psi and send it to the moon
    • I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.
    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
