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.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
