So... Looks like this will be up and running soon. Booked in for tune on Wednesday (11th).

Spec list as follows, will be interesting to see what it produces.

1994 S1 R33

~165,000 kms, unopened engine

Nistune ECU

GTX3067 w/ 0.82 A/R Garrett internal gate housing

Stock manifolds

Pod filter - Alloy pipe intake

Z32 AFM

Blitz return flow FMIC

Greddy Profec OLED boost controller

Nismo 740cc injectors

Walbro 465 pump

3" Custom stainless exhaust.

Hopefully all the required supporting mods are there to let this turbo do its stuff. Shame I didn't end up getting the 0.63 A/R housing as first thought, but now interested to see what it will do with the 0.82.

Indeed - me too, it's quite a different setup to really anything else done on here and it may provide an interesting result. I have reservations about the 0.82a/r housing but there are ways it will potentially help it, too.

EDIT: Seems to be a time limit on when I can edit my posts...

For me it will be interesting to see how this compares with previous results of GT3071 with same turbine housing. It seems like GTX turbos flow about the same as next size up GTs, so GT3071 power with bit better response would be nice.

Trying not to get my hopes up too much.

Yeah, don't get too ahead of yourself - though for what it's worth I think the expectations seem pretty realistic. I suspect it should have some hilariously usable power :) Look forward to hearing driving impressions of it when you get it back! Look forward to hear (hopefully) how it goes tomorrow

I have seen one review of a GTX3067R replacing a GT3071R in 0.63 housings and it spooled slightly earlier than the GT3071R .

To be fair these turbos use different compressor housings , T04E 0.50 AR for the 71R and T04B 0.60 AR and port shrouded for the X67R .

Thats a bummer Mark looking forward to seeing your results :(

My guess is you will see around 250-260kw if your setup has a good exhaust and intake system.

Good luck & looking forward to your driving impressions :)

I think you should of gone the 3071 if you wanted more mate ;)

My car was well sorted and I only went 288kw knocked back to 278kw on around 23psi on quite a low reading dyno with the 3071 and you have 4mm less of compressor so dont know what that will equate to.. Apart from ALOT of fun as I think its gunna be all in around 3500 :)

You haven't really given much of an impression of how free flowing your exhaust is etc, so I'm going to be different - go out on a limb here and say just over 270rwkw is possible if all goes well - and if boost control isn't lazy and depending on dyno run rate, 1bar in the low 3000rpm range.

Again, all depends on quality of tune and parts, how well the dyno is set up, and how good my crystal ball is haha.

Mick_O's prediction is probably a realistic expectation to set, however - I wouldn't aim higher, I'm just being devil's advocate as I think >270kw is in the realms of possibility.

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
