Nothing comes easy with performance setups.

However - maybe the ITB setup is over-rated.  eg. Nissan persevered with it on the GTR and GTiR.

No sign of it on the VR38 engine, and Mitsubishi never put it on the Emo range.  Surely throttle response/control on a rally car is an important factor to performance?

Whilst attacking the wiring I decided it was time to spend the money on braided lines all around the hot side. Clearly heat wasn't going to be nice. Insert big box of Aeroflow parts here haha >>

Anyway, on to Sunday. Supersprint at Mount Panorama. I didn't really take any pictures, but did have the GoPro in the car. I was still getting used the new power delivery and I had also asked Jez to

Sooo... I was on the local news after my recent attendance at the Mount Panorama Esses Descent. https://au.prime7.yahoo.com/n3/news/a/-/local/27254254/mudgee-driver-takes-out-esses-descent-video/ Wi

In the case of the GTiR, ITBs are too much effort for what they're worth.
N/A it makes a bit more sense, and the setup is a bit more basic, but for forced induction... It makes no sense to me.

That plenum adapter is a shame, I asked Matt about it after seeing it installed on your car and he showed me a number of photos which look identical to the ones above. It's possible but no way is it as "bolt-on" as Otaku Garage claim..

From seeing how it was made to work in person I can confidently say there's no way they actually bolted an RB26 plenum to an RB25 head with this adapter.

Not sure what you mean? They definately work just need a decent amount of modification to existing parts which is not disclosed anywhere

For anyone wondering what work is involved in getting the OtakuGarage ITS adaptor working, it's a lot. Firstly you have to get your RB26 coolant rail modified to clear the thermostat housing outlet. This is a fair bit of work and is certainly a job for a fabricator. When doing this you have to removed enough material for it to clear but also leave enough to not create a bottle neck in the coolant passage. Then you have to find an RB30 thermostat housing as a normal RB20/25/26 one won't work without a large amount of grinding on the acutal ITB's. Then you have to replace the bolts with M8 studs and nuts, and the top stud has to be shorter than the others. Then you have to grind  away the lip around the outside of the RB30 theromstat housing, and grind even more away where the bolt for the coolant rail will foul the housing. It is a small mission but doable.

You should be able to see most of what i am talking about in these pics.

Whoops, forgot to post the pics. But yours are basically identical to what I would have been posting. Cheers.

Got any pics of it fitted up in the end? Noticed you havent posted an engine bay shot since the update :)

Well what do you know, I haven't either haha. I'll get one up soon when I provide the remainder of the updates for this year.

Hi, sir... I found this thread doing a search and it is nice :)

I was asked (as often happens) to try and match a nice turbo for a mates RB25 track car with some very specific requirements, ie ball bearing, within a limited budget, T3 open flanged and able to make around 450kw @ hubs on E85 on a Dynapack dyno.   I did some crawling around and decided to pay more attention to the GTW3476R than I had really given it previously (Garrett took AGES to release flow data for them) and I was actually pretty blown away by the match that they give, at least on paper.   They actually look like an awesome combination from that point of view.

How have you found you found yours so far?   Real world response etc fairly acceptable for the power you are making?  Was that power figure "all in"?


Cheers

Thanks mate. Sorry the delayed response, don't really frequent on here anymore.

Have found the turbo to be great for what it is. I'm running the bush bearing version. Was previously running the .86 twin scroll rear housing which made 420rwkw on ~26-28psi. Response was great. We've recently changed the setup to a 1.01 rear housing to help with getting more heat out as I kept melting the diaphragms in the gates. As a result I'm currently making 370rwkw on 22-23psi (need a new boost controller) and I'd say a few hundred rpm laggier, but much nicer curve coming on. Will put together a big update post eventually, but feel free to pm me if still looking for info.

Well guys, the time has unfortunately come. I guess I'm turning in to an old fart as my baby for the last (almost) 7 years is up for sale. If you know anyone that is keen, link below with as much info as I could remember.

Well that was unexpectedly quick, but I guess this chapter of my life has finally come to an end. Car is sold (getting picked up this week). Big thanks to everyone on this forum that helped out in one way or another, or just talked banter. See you all around once I figure out what's next :)  ?

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      Short shifter r34

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
