Hey Guys,

Looking at running a low mount set up I have the following:

Ported and flowed rb25 manifold

R32 gtst ecu with nistune chip

Wal bro pump

Planning on getting:

Gt3076r

Nismo 555cc injectors

HKS evc-s boost controller

Is there anything else I'll need?

Will any modification be needed to run the gt30 on stock manifold? Also what flange is the stock manifold? And can an external gate be run on a low mount set up?

Finally, roughly how much power do you think it will see me?

If running internal gate then no mods besides the spacer plate between manifold and turbo and longer studs. If u want ext gate then need to either mod turbo housing or manifold.

Powerwise around 280-300 on 98 and 320-350 on e85.

Z32 AFM. Since you're buying injectors, don't waste your money on old tech. Buy new EV14s - preferably E85 rated ones.

Turbo flange is T3.

Good luck getting an external gate mounted on housing in stock location. It's a bit squeezy down there. Budget on internal gate for a low mount if using the stock manifold.

This isn't hard and has been done a zillion times.

Disco has a thread recently about putting a 3076 on stock manifold.

Heaps of gates off housings around.

Buy turbo. Buy 20 mm spacer.

Bolt together.

Buy 90 degree silicon joiner or alternatively weld elbow onto turbo outlet

Buy decent injectors and z32.

Boost off into the sunset.

  • Like 2

Manifold spacer/longer studs/Scotty inlet tube/GT30 IW Dump/elbow off comp housing (stainless mandrel or aluminium bend in 2") water and oil lines .

I'd stay RIGHT away from Nismo 550 side feeds . Soon I'll have a set of 740s in the rail for RB25 if interested .

Or convert to EV14s as mentioned with an aftermarket rail .

Has not been back on the rollers yet , on E85 it would be disappointing to see less than 300 given the overall package .

If using a std or Z32 MAF consider keeping the factory airbox and snorkel because it goes a long way to hiding the front 2/3 of the turbo . Scotty inlet or one like it is a must here . Pods scream modified

I've made just over 400RWKW with a GTX3076R on E85, off the stock manifold with a WG welded to the turbine housing.

I actually made 377kw, but it was through an auto which had 8% slip. Some crazy mofos have made up to 455rwkw on one, but uh, at 45PSI. I don't think that is really going to work too well in a stock engine setup, especially if you don't have a GTX and have a GT3076 instead.

Also +1 for getting injectors well, well, well above 555's. You never know when you will need them and the cost difference is almost zero.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
