Garrett Gtx3071R

[Mick_o]

Thanks Dale yeah its what i do for a living mate but i would like to start doing more car stuff though as people tend to appreciate nice pipework under a bonnet more than in a factory haha hopefully ill get it sorted this afternoon and get it on the dyno sometime this week am keen as hell to push the lil GTX and see how many horsepowers she is good for

Looks like you're pretty handy in the fabrication stakes there Mick. Well done, now get into running this thing up with some boost into it.

Very nice work mate!

[Mick_o]

Thanks mate still cant quite get to the filler cap but its better than what i first made up though. But really hoping the much shorter run helps things

[Mick_o]

Looks like my car wont hit the rollers till Friday night now id say

Gives me a bit of time to get my pressure test done and weld in my point for the boost control

Hoping this turbo has more than the 320kw that some have predicted and considering that it made 312kw with boost pissing out of it while it was trying to pump 22psi down her neck so im hoping to see 330kw at least! Or maybe im dreaming haha but bring on near 350 i say!

[Jap_star]

sorry if i missed it, but what rear housing again?

[JustinP]

I reckon 335rwkw @ 25psi plus with all the problems sorted out

PS your pipework looks awesome. Wish I could do that!

.82 housing mate

[Mick_o]

Id be happy with 335kw lol hoping this pipework helps boost and throttle response as i think those boost leaks may have been hindering my response

Thanks Justo keen to start doing more work like this i enjoy it

Hows ya ride coming along?

Looks good Mick.. so glad you did away with that half peeled spongey crap piping.. Ill probably be working or hanging out at unigroup on friday arvo so be sure to say hi!

[Jap_star]

When's boost coming on now?

[Mick_o]

Thanks mate yeah bit the bullet and got rid of that ugly crap haha for sure mate always keen for a chat with a fellow enthusiast

Full boost with the old leaky setup was bout 3700 hoping this new pipework minus leaks brings it on bit sooner

When's boost coming on now?

[Simonster]

Keen to see the results like everyone, will help me decide on the T67 or 3071.

[JustinP]

Not much progress unfortunately, crank is back at the crank place getting the crank collar fitted. Should have done it in the first place.

Hey Mick_o, are you still running the "small can" 14psi actuator, or did you end up changing to the 18 or 19psi big can one?

Hopefully this friday will finally see the end result simmo ill update as soon as i get my final tune all sorted

Still running the 14psi can mate might try getting the big can this week actually forgot all bout that lol

[SargeRX8]

That looks awesome, but if I had your skill what I would have done is run the pipe from the throttle body to the intercooler on the passenger side and run the pipe from the turbo hot end to the driver side intercooler.

[DVS JEZ]

Sarge i actually saw that done on a 32 the other day. Never thought of it that way, it should help keep some more heat out because its not crossing the radiator after being cooled.

[Mick_o]

Thanks sarge thats not actually a bad idea! Never even considered running it that way as i had my mind set on shortening up that pipe as much as possible but i like the idea of keeping the pipework outta the heat i think what ive done with my pipework would be less prone to heat soak as im nowhere near the radiator and there is less pipework directly over the top of the engine which should help keep intake temps down imo

[Mick_o]

Might fab up something like u described and see if there is any difference in throttle response and air temps compared to what i made
