Confirmed. Turbo core is rattly and on its way out. $1700 to rebuild.

Do I go with rebuilding it or would a 3071 be better with less lag?

For $1700, what do I do people? :P

mate, now that I've returned the R back to stock, I've got a spare one you can have.

just harden up & do it!

who is that with Roo

f**k 1700? a guy in melb hiflows for 800? You can get more power out of a 3071r :) but do you wanna upgrade injectors, fuel pressure reg, fuel pump, z32afm, etc etc?

with any turbo upgrade those parts will need upgrading to make full potential of new turbo

bah, rebuild/hi flow a vg30 rubes, keep the popo happy and still makes Very good power.

atleast speaking from my experience anyway

fixed

ring Bill Keen from ATS even if its just to pick his brain he built my high flow and its awesome he also built 180or200's aka Adrian and his flows good too

Hows this for good.

have a few drinks with one of my fav musical groups from LA two weeks ago.

Watch their second show last thursday. have a few more drinks. and chit chat. real nice people.

Ask me and a friend to come party with them in Las vegas in May. then stay with them in LA where they live. show us around etc.

My answer was yes. :)

oooooh I might be heading to Vegas in May to catch up with some friends from London .... who is the band?

Ruby my mate has a Garret 3071 for sale, rb housing, lines, done 3000k's, made 280rwkw on his 34. Price ~$2200

Croydon Racing Developments are doing them for $1450 new. :)

Who was selling an Apexi turbo recently ... Rad32?

The 3071 seems to be the one to go for.

Pretty heavy band. 'as blood runs black'

Think I wrote something in wasteland awhile back about them. when I was a tad wasted myself.

usually into electronic stuff. But I can appreciate good music.

    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
