Need Help Picking Out A Turbo. Urgent


Recommended Posts

I've been doing some homework yesterday, reading lots of stuff about the gt3071 on SAU. And finally made up my mind.

That a "real" Garrett GT3071R IW is a pretty good turbo for RB25 for lazy(low boost) 240+rwkw.

Is it this one? http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...1R_700382_3.htm

At the same moment I'm also looking to buy a decent turbo for my rb20.

I think gt3071 will be a bit overkill for rb20 in terms of lag. In case you guys can prove me wrong.

1)

I wanted something more responsive from my rb20 and the discopotato was always in my head.

The problem was with the turbine flange, it was always a t25. Until I found a turbine housing with t3 inlet and ford 5 bolt out.

Here is the thing:

You can buy a full turbo assy with the t3 turbine inlet, but I'm a tight ass with my rb20 and I wanted to buy a turbine housing only. Then just get some chinese gt28rs and slap its compressor on the turbine housing.

Then the final part. What size ? I thought A/R 63 will be perfect for the RB20. What do you guys think ?

Also should I get the IW one or go with external wastegate? I have all the parts for the external. Just want to spend less time installing all the bits. And driving the thing sooner. In that case which one is a better go ?

2)

A for the rb25.

Those guys also have a GT3071R (http://www.frsport.com/Garrett-GT3071R-Dual-ball-Bearing-Turbo---Options_p_7839.html).

But they didn't bother specifying the exhaust A/Rs and other options.

Only discription I found is this:

"Turbine housing style available in Standard GT or with T3/T4 Ford Style 5 bolt turbine housing. Compressor housing is T04E frame size with 2.00 outlet. Compressor inlet is available with 2.75 or 4.00 inlet."

Which one of that is the real GT3071R? Or should I just send them the garrett p/n and hope that they can get it for me ?

Thanks in advance!

I have around 2k for parts for both engines.

I got 444cc inj. Got EMU. Z32 AFM.

And all the supporting mods.

I want some 240+rwkw form the RB25 for street/occasional drift days.

rb20 will be a daily mostly. Just want something over 200rwkw with good response. Nothing mental.

Can anyone post the full garrett part number for the real gt3071r with IW and 2.75'' inlet, not the 4inch one ?

Would really appreciate it. I'm confused with all garrett specs.

have a read though. The real 3071 is a bit of a bitsa the way garrett list it. You basically spec your cart, your compressor housing and your turbine housing separately and get your supplier of choice to assemble it.

The link shows the comp and turbine housing options and part numbers. What it doesn't show is the garrett IW housings which you just have to specify at the point of sale as any turbo specialist should be well aware of them by now.

All that said, i'm still having creep issues with mine, even with the enlarged wastegate, but i really think it's tune related now.

240 is a bit of a low expectation of a 3071 incidentally. i have already made 260rwkw with a heap of timing out of it and half throttle as it just couldn't control boost at all at that stage.

for a 200 rwkw rb20 i'd go no further than a 2530, i'd even go a 2510 if a second hand one pops up.

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
