Hi All,

I am looking at upgrading my turbo and have had a search through a few previous threads as to where is the cheapest places to source a turbo kit for my r34 gtt.

As a result I got in contact with Paul from street to track however he is no longer dealing garrett turbo chargers.

I was wondering where everyone sources their turbo kits from and if they would be able to point me in the right direction.

I am looking at doing a garrett gt3071r externally waste gated meaning I am going to need manifold, wastegate, dump pipe and intake pipe.

Can anyone help me out here ?

I know GCG do a high mount kit for around $3,800 but surely there must be a cheaper way to acquire the kit.

GT3071r is a poor choice (these days) for an RB25. Same sized billet compressor from any of a range of other turbo suppliers will make more power, or alternatively a smaller billet compressor for the same power will have better response. Get hot side set up to match, and you'll enjoy it a lot better.

So, go look at the Hypergear stuff (there's a massive thread dedicated to it) and if need be contact Stao and tell him your requirements and see what options he has for you. Which is a lot, by the way.

Then there is also the option of the FP HTA stuff, and a few other vendors of highly developed turbos. No-one should be addicted to using raw Garrett stuff any more.

Really, has Garrett fallen that far behind? It just seems to be the most popular choice in the rb25 dyno threads and from speaking to people.

If I was to go for a hyper gear turbo can anyone suggest where I can source intake pipe, dump pipe and manifold from in Sydney ?

Hypergears is a bolton turbo. you will need few silicon hoses to make a induction pipe and thats pretty much it. I personally vote for SS1PU super responsive 260rwkws

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
