nice what was the run length in seconds they definitely look different, maybe the hold time was 4sec instead of 2... ?

tell declan to run the right correction too, its running the old stp correction. SAE is the right correction nowadays and will only knock about 10-15rwkw off that graph.

Interesting, everyone seemed to think it would be laggier and other results seemed to show that it would be, this shows a huge change in spool.

What is the transient response like simon, much nicer to drive? Also what manifold are you using, and internal gate?

edit: Were the dyno run settings EXACTLY the same?

Do you think the manifold makes any difference to spool? If you were to use stock manifold with internal gate how do you think it would influence the result? Spool and top end that is.

well yes the manifold prob does make a difference to spool. but the thing is this is a back to back comparison

Oh I wasn't talking about the comparison, just generally curious how much it improves it.

what do you want me to do? run less or more boost?

i feel same boost level should give a truer comparison yes?

If the new turbo can flow more than the old one then potentially without raising the boost and/or adjusting the tune to maximize the new found goodness then potentially not really telling of the real difference. That result suggests to me the old turbo had more on it too...

What he said, was basically what i was thinking. I understand the limitations you have with testing this, that's why i was just asking a question in general, not really stating that you should do xx and yy.

I just dont know why you guys are so dissapointed - you only need to compare the compressor maps to see that there are f**k all gains unless your running around 2bar of boost with the gtx.

Man speaks the truth!

Good to see a decent gain in response though :)

yeah the main reason why i did it was to gain more response... not to gain more peak power because honestly for what i need it for (drift) anything over 300 rwkw is excessive.

the rest of the info is for you SAU'ers to debate over.

You would need to run 25psi+ to really show where these turbos shine.

Kind of why I would like to see a 71 back to back or a gtx28 if they made it. Most people don't run these turbos to their max. Still I am delightfully surprised by the gain in response. Does anyone know if they make these similar wheels for GT28 style turbos ?

I honestly cannot remember where but I thought I read about a 68 or 70mm compressor version . Possibly something on a GT28 turbine but No details come to mind .

Purely using the force here but I think it could be possible that the 76mm GTX compressor in the port shrouded T04E comp housing may possibly benefit from having all blades exposed to the radial slot , unlike a GT37 6/6 bladed wheel where only the full height blades sweep over that slot . GTX compressors appear to have all full height blades and I guess if they can run in a "partially unloaded state" it could help the turbine spin them up a little sooner .

The telling factor is the transient responses compared to a conventional GT3076R .

Looking purely at the GTX3076R comp map I get the impression that the islands are taller but possibly narrower than a std GT3076R and I have to wonder if it can gain from a slightly larger port shrouded housing .

Anyway good results particularly with no tuning , cheers A .

The taller/narrower islands would probably be a result of the increase in trim, I'd have thought? And in regards to increasing the exposure of the blades to the ports, no doubt it would increase the compressor's ability to gain outright shaft speed but unfortunately the shaft speed is just one part of a puzzle which involves getting air into the engine - anyone with a boost leak can vouch for the fact that more shaft speed doesn't (necessarily) mean better response.

I'm sure there is a fine balance, but my understanding is the main purpose of the ports would be to try and stretch the surge line and islands between for given pressure ratios to the left (funnily enough, given the whole anti-surge term) while maintaining a balance between that effect, spool and trying not to topple the choke point. Wouldn't exposing more start eliminating some of the advantage of the higher flowing 58trim wheel?

Just trying to get an idea of exactly what you're envisaging by that, or if I am on the same page.

I've been looking forward to this :thumbsup:

The info i got from GCG initially was -

The GTX usaully flows about 10% more power than the stock GT3076R, and response time is nearly identical (it doesn't come on faster). This would be the gains that you'd see from the Billet compressor wheel. The GTX version is also more efficient at high boost pressures.

This turned me away from spending the extra money (That i don't have at the moment) on these turbo's... I will be running a pretty similar setup to your car but have a .82 rear housing, the reason i chose the bigger was that i thought it would match the engine size better, but now seeing your .63 results i am confused >_<

looks good but how ever I think those 2x runs are not based on the same dyno sittings, the GTX appears to have more ramp load then the GT run unless some thing with the car or the tune was not 100%.

By going larger sized comp wheel without any modifications to the turbine wheel or housing is not going to end up with that much better in response, its suppose to be opposite as larger blades fights against greater amount of surge per rotation. Plus it would not shift the areas of whe the car is on vacuum.

But any thing can happen with E85, does it feels that much of differences on the road?

i think the whole point was never to make a turbo that just made more power but one that was more efficient and will no doubt 'feel' better and more transient under your foot..

There will always be skeptics but at the end of the day garrett know more than anyone about this ssubject and

I never doubted them.. It would be suicidal to release a less responsive version of there best selling turbo..good on you Simon for busting the myth :thumbsup:

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
