I bought a genuine garrett gt3582r yesterday, .82 rear, 4 bolt. I also ordered a 6boost manifold and 50mm wastegate which will arrive in 4 weeks from today. My car currently has; Z32 afm, 910cc at 3 bar JECS injectors, walbro 341 fuel pump, power fc, tuning crap, hd clutch, 3 inch front pipe, stock cat, 3 inch kakemoto catback. I have the car really well tuned currently on the stock turbo at 14psi. No knock anywhere and nice afr's. So I'm just after advice on putting this setup together. I can assemble it now worries. More just after tips for tuning ie: more timing and less fuel down low to fill up the lag gap? And ideas about afm placement? I have read a bunch of stuff about afm placement and am leaning towards leaving it in the stock configuration. I'm getting some oil and water lines from ebay. Are these as simple as bolting in? I read something about a 20 micron oil filter for the turbo. Anyway any info/ideas would be good.

:cheers:

The exhaust will have to stay the same for now as I have already made the missus mad with my spending. Swapping the cat is on the cards. The exhaust will get replaced next year when the motor gets changed. Ebay lines are crap aye? Where's a better place to get them? I know a guy who works for enzed. I spose he could do it.

EDIT The engine internals are going to stay stock for 12 months so it wont be wound up too much. :whistling:

I am assuming the turbo intake is 4", if so I wouldnt put a 3" afm in the intake, too restrictive on that sort of turbo. Yeah as said above exhaust will be restrictive, both cat and catback.

hardly, leave it in the standard position, make sure your intake pipe has a bend in it and you'll never have any troubles.

as for tuning, same basic principles apply as with a standard turbo, you want a gradual dip from cruising afr's down to 11.5-12:1 at peak torque/full boost then 12:1 to redline and as much timing you can run without inducing knock or going past MBT

Kando dynamic do quality line kits for about $100. I would NOT call them ebay crap. Have used them myself in the past.

As for your setup, aslong as you have a decent gate (tial mvr or similar) and you replace that cat, you will be cool. A decent 3" cat is only $189, why skimp?

Also you did not mention an FMIC, make sure you have one of these too.

045how lol I still have the 2 stock turbos and the t3 flanges arrived yesterday. I still dont have the head flange yet. Seeing as the rb30 in my shed is getting stroked next year I was thinking about keeping the flanges and putting another gt35 on it. We'll see. Jonnohr31 The missus is getting to be a good co-tuner so it should only take a good weekend to get the tune 90 percent. R31nismoid I'll go see the guy this arvy and let him know what I need. Only 3 weeks and 6 days to go. I already told the boss that I'm taking a sicky to put my car together :laugh::sick:

I'll have a sus of the line kits today. I'm getting a turbosmart 50mm gate, its coming with the manifold from Kyle. Lol the cat will get replaced. I have a 600X300X100 front mount. Sometimes I forget the some of the stuff I have put on the car :wacko:

The actual hole in the intake of the turbo is only around 2.5 inches. Its just the outside fitting that is 4 inches. Also you say cat and catback need replacing. Yes the cat will be too small. However it is more important to have a larger section of pipe at the start of the exhaust rather than at the back. If I were to replace the exhaust in sections I would start from the front and work back. Eg: Disregarding the cat (cos its getting replaced), I'd replace my 3 inch front pipe first.

Everything in that setup is too restrictive for the potential of that turbo.

Its even too restrictive for a GT30R.

Not everything. The injectors flow 910 cc at stock pressure and 990cc at 4 bar. The afm is good for 360 kw or so. The intercooler is well big enough. I thinking about the future. I have an rb30 in the shed that I have almost ready to put with the 25 head and the missus and I have decided to get the spool 3.4 stroker kit next year. I have all the necessary bits on the car to make a stack more power except the turbo. Its better that I run this turbo near the low end of the efficiency range for now than flog the crap out of a smaller turbo that will get replaced in 12 months. Hey, I can afford to do up the car but I dont own a bank :whistling:

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
