Just little things like a turbo beanie a turbosmart dual port plumb back BOV hks adjustable cam gears and fine tuning timing belt a bosch z32 afm gotta bmc direct air intake filter kit cos I reckon my arc airbox is drinkin hot engine bay air 550cc sard injectors a malpassi FPR Many metres of header wrap and the wider exhaust wrap. I think thats everything lol

Could you please post a pic of the BMC air intake?

ive tried putting pics up here countless times and no matter how much i compress the picture its too big!

sorry mate ill try again but im sure ill get the same result

External and AEM EMS controls the boost. The saga for him to get to this point.gtx3076

After trawling through a pile of pages here is the page which shows the result from the GTX3076 on pump and race fuel (the posted dyno previously was race fuel).

The GTX3076 looks like an expensive GT3040.

The GTX3071 on paper should flow enough to cover a GT3076 if the turbine can pass enough exhaust which is the question mark with a non-garrett turbine housing.

Yeah i cant wait to see the results i know im still gunna be happy either way because my baby 203kw feels good on the street! so surely the 250kw at the worst is gunna feel pretty darn good and if i dont get the power ill run e85 anyways as im still toying with the idea cos im liking the smell and the lack of black stuff all over the back of my white car and if i ever get put over the pits im sure my car will pass an emissions test!

Ive been considering selling my 550cc sards im wondering what are the biggest injectors i can put in my standard fuel rail are? for

Thanks wolverine yeah i have a servo around the corner that sells it and apparently all the cops around here in the Hawkesbury are running on it so its a reliable source im lead to believe so might try flogging my 550cc sards

740's might be better for E85 but unless you have some easy way to switch tunes E85 is a tough one to use day to day unless you have a servo around the corner.

Jez will get you a good result so all the best from here.

how much for the sards :)

You are actually very close on airflow with the GTX3076R and a 56T GT3040R like you have .

It's also interesting to compare the compressor maps of the GTX3071R and the original GT3076R 56T , the 71X has very slightly higher ie 1% adiabatic efficiency but the original 76Rs center island is fractionaly wider and a tad to the left of the Xs . I compared these along the 2 bar line , remember this means absolute pressure so 2 bar here is 1 bar above sea level air pressure , because 15 pounds is not an unrealistic number for starters .

Sorry to be a grinch but these GTX compressors don't look that good on paper to me especially in the T04E and T04S compressor housings . I think the 52 or 56 trim GT37 (76.2mm) compressor is comparable to the GTX71 and as Andrew said its debatable if the GT30 compressor is adequate to drive the GTX76 compressor wheel given it looks to flow similar numbers to the 82mm 56T GT40 compressor wheel . I wouldn't even bother to look at a GTX3582R because the T04S compressor housing is a bit limiting even for the 82mm GT40 compressor wheels air flow capability .

The high points of the Xs seem to be high pressure ratio (boost) efficiency but over a relatively narrow range , and also they're supposed to be quieter in port shrouded compressor housings .

I suspect that they would work better in larger comp housings and with larger turbines in diesel applications .

A .

^ That is pretty much what I said when I first read over the GTX series compressor maps, the only one I held any hope for was the GTX3071R on the premise that it should be able to perform similar to the GT3076R in most cases with a little more transient response from less inertia, though as it turns out from testimonies from people who have drive GT and GTX equivalents, the response actually does reduce a bit meaning even that may be a bit of a waste of time.

On the flip side, I have heard of some really impressive power results from GTX3582Rs when more exotic fuels than run of the mill gasoline are used - so if one was going to head down that path, they could show some worth there. I've still not seen any results from a GTX30-series turbo under real duress, but maybe they could still have surprises up their sleeves.

Think i should mention that boostn imports has a great price for a kit that bolts up to the standard dump pipe and factory headers with sonic braided lines $2638 delivered to sydney!!!! SPECIAL!!!!!!!!!

An aquatintence of mine got that kit and was less than impressed with it, was missing lots of bits.

Hmmmmmmm i hope my kit aint like that :rant:

was he pissed bout just the lack of parts to install it?

Or its performance once bolted in?

    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
    • The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
