New Turbo Kit Sneak Peek(Ptuning) - Page 64 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Giving PTuning a bump for an excellent turbo kit and an awesome mounting location. I'll be posting a complete video review of the kit around March after I get it tuned and on the track a few times.

That is an awesome shot...

Who are you using for tuning!?

The turbo and everything appears to be above the lowest point on the car, is this correct?

I'm not certain that the tuner/company I'm using has announced they are doing "E"tunes yet, but its an out of (my) state Etune. I know they have plans to offer this service, but its not live yet.

Yes, so far from being under the car with this turbo mounted I don't see any posibility of the turbo touching the ground. The angle I took the photo makes it look lower than it is. Its really not that much lower than the transmission. It sits above the two skid / weather plates.

Awesome thanks a ton! Beautiful pic by the way

Did anyone ever get power numbers or a dyno sheet using a smaller turbo than the 3076R?

sw20kosh · 01-14-2014, 03:26 PM

Question: Did you have your dyno dynamics in comparison mode or heart breaker mode during these dyno pulls?

We dynotuned the GTX3071R and it produced about 3-5 fewer HP than our standard GT3076R at the same boost levels. Surprisingly, the spoolup and shape of the power curve is nearly identical as well. The difference may lie in the transient response, given the smaller compressor wheel. However, this would be more difficult to quantify.

Given this finding and the excellent results we've achieved with the GT3076R, we have no plans to test a smaller turbo. Larger turbo? Possibly.

FWIW, having been in this business for close to 15+years, we can tell you that every customer that says, "I'll be forever happy with x amount of HP and have no plans on ever upgrading to more power" is likely kidding themselves. It's human nature to want more.

It's better to start off with a set-up that doesn't require you to replace the most expensive single component (the turbo) when you're ready to turn up the boost.

Our dyno is always set to read true Dyno Dynamics (heartbreak dyno) numbers. We do not apply an "x" factor, fudge factor to our dyno numbers.

Craftmanship looks amazing, subscribed for the video the previous new owner promised.

@ptuning, is the oil a mechanical pump or electrical pump?

Edit: Electrical

Got my notes mixed up. AVO uses a mechanical pump, PTUNING is electrical.
