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.

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.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 馃檪 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
