hey guys i have done quite a bit of research... especially reading past threads..

i thought i would quickly check with yall first...

i have a 33 with ems cooler exhaust new turbo manifold etc..

and want to upgrade my turbo... i have decided on a Garrett gt3071 with .63 exhaust and with an internal wastegate....

does this all sound like a good setup ?

Cheers thanks for any feedback

A GT3071R , (real one has 84T 60mm GT30 turbine + 56T 71mm GT35 Comp = CHRA No 700177-23) would not be the most responsive thing on an RB20 . Works better on 2L four ie 4 ~ 500 cc pots .

The HKS GT2835 Pro S in .68 a/r turbine housing would be a little better with its smaller 52 trim compressor but the kit is not cheap .

All in all I reckon a std (ceramic BB) turbo Hi flowed like GCG's or a model specific HKS GT2530 sounds good for the road . You can go bigger but its getting not nice for a street car at typical street car revs .

Cheers A .

Hay guys I have a GT3071R with a 0.63 turbine hsg on it. I have not installed it yet due to Christmas and New Year but will be hopefully on in about 2-3 months so if you can wait till them I will pm you with how it goes.

I have pm'ed discopotato03 about this turbo set up before and he mentioned that is was very similar to the GT2835. Please correct me if I am wrong?

A few people I have talked to that had them on there RB20s made 240rwkw and had full boost by 4000rpm so on a RB25 it will hopefully be around 3500rpm with a good tune.

Cheers,

Boz

Similar to a 2835 in that it has the same series of turbine and compressor wheels .

ALL of the GT2835 HKS's and GT3071R's are GT30 turbine based turbos , ALL of them use 71mm GT35 (BCI-18 series) compressors . The turbine is cropped in all of them except the propper GT3071R cartridge 700177-0023 .

Most of the HKS GT2835 series use the 52 Trim compressor though I have a table of HKS turbos that shows a 48 Trim compressor version rated at 380ps . 52T rated at 400ps , the 56T 410ps and the 56T Pro S at 420ps .

Garrett has a bad habit of only offering the largest trim compressor version in the turbos they market .

CHRA's

700177-0002 Cropped Turbine 84T + 52T comp

700177-0003 Cropped Turbine 84T + 56T comp

700177-0004 Cropped Turbine 90T + 56T comp

700177-0023 Uncut !!! Turbine 84T + 56T comp

I suspect the 48 trim compressor version is 700177-0001 but unconfirmed .

The middle two of the list above are what Garrett is fobbing off as "GT3071R WG or wastegated " . You are getting ripped off big time if you buy them or any of the HKS GT2835 series with the T28 flanged GT28 integral gate exhaust housings as the combination of GT28 housing and GT30 based turbine is a flop .

Also to save confusion , you will notice the first three have a cropped version of the GT30 UHP (Ultra High Pressure Ratio) turbine . Its major diameter is 56.6mm where the uncut version is 59.9mm . So the 84 and 90 trim versions of the first three are based on a smaller diameter than the last which is an 84 trim 59.9mm .

HKS/Garrett turbo unit numbers for the above cartridges or CHRA's

700177-0002 = 700382-0002 , 700382-0006 , 700382-0018

700177-0003 = 700382-0003 , 700382-0007 , 700382-0019 , 700382-0024

700177-0004 = 700382-0004 , 700382-0020 , 700382-0021

Turbo unit numbers vary because of differences in turbine and compressor housing style and a/r .

The last one (-23) is only sold by Garrett as a cartridge that you can select a number of housing options for . ATP Turbo (US) sell them as a unit with .63/.82/1.06 a/r GT30 turbine housings + .50 a/r TO4E compressor covers .

Cheers A .

from a poster here (Fantasy Performance).....

"The exhaust housing's I am offering have a T03 foot print and are cast by Precision Turbo's in the US. They use a Ford style T03 internal wastegate set up but are a proper GT housings"

i believe the housing was coming from a Qld Turbo supplier.

perhaps there is an option internally gated with the 60mm turbine.

ps. don't panic if you don't understand the above info. i have been getting my head around this info over a period of time, with a lot of patient help from disco. there are lots of threads that relate to the 'real' GT3071R' if you do a search you will find them pretty easily.

I'm grabbing Corky Bell's Maximum Boost book and going to have a good solid read.

Its too hard to learn what you need to learn via google. :P

Just when you think you understand whats going on you realise your back at step one. ;)

I totally agree...

Step 1 is the hardest part...

I have to say tho choosing a turbo is alot like making a sandwich. I mean first there is the filling (size of compessor and turbine) then you got the sauce (housing sizes) salt & pepper (flange type) then the type of bread (brand of turbo)....

I get so confused some times that i reckon ill stick to sandwich's cause they make me happy too. ;)

But seriouslly i have been tossing up inbetween keeping the high flow i already got or a GT30 style Garret unit (probablly a .82 rear housing and a .7 front housing with an external wastegate setup) But yeah changing all the exhaust manifolds makes me also check out the GT turbines from HKS as their bolt on....

I guess for the cost tho you could get a full garrett setup for the same price as a HKS turbo....

i have an rb20 and put a gt-rs turbo on (400ps) internal wastegate.

full boost at 3500rpm with standard computer, mainifolds and blowoff valve.

great up grade but costly

around $3,500

what sort of hp you after.

mainly for street or drag racing.

hope this helps

thats exactly right - GCG highflow is the most cheapest upgrade ($2k) and it bolts straight back on, no adjustment to oil or water lines.

2530, you'll be spending $300 on oil and water lines, and lots of time and stuffing around... I've been there and done that, pain in the ass.

If I could do it again, I'd get a high flow. But, I can't do it again..

    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha 
    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
