hey guys sold my s15 and switched to a 33 pooline for a cheap bitumen sprints car/local drift car. Chasing 270-280 skrillas on 18 or so psi. Rb25 all supporting mods with an unopened engine. I've researched as much as I could but haven't found a good comparison on whether the lag would be less on the .82 71 but achieve the same power. Already have a 44mm t smart gate welded onto stock mani FYI.

Up here in nth qld its hot as shit to and we don't seem to have on par figures with some.of the rest granted. Just seeing what people think. I'm leaning towards the 3076 in .63. Tracks are small so response is needed. Cheers

Get a 71GTX mate, regardless of what housing you run. Near enough GT76 flow, near enough or the same as GT71 spool.

Am running a GTX71 on my SR and cannot fault it. It makes 295wasps on a DD running 98 ron and it is by far the best turbo all round that I have had, period.

My personal recommendation: get a GTX3071R core without housing and a Kando 10cm T3 Vband housing. Kick ass and take names.

I like the idea of Scottys external gates mounted on the turbine housing . IW will work with a 0.82 Garrett housing and either a GT3076R or GTX3071R . People say the GTX3071 is a tad less responsive than a GT3076R and a mid trim 76R should be slightly better responding than the usual larger comp trim version .

Any of these turbos should romp in 270-280 at the bags its just that some will give slightly better transients than others .

Take your pick , cheers A .

Interesting feedback re GTX3071 vs GT3076, who exactly said this?

I believe Mick_O was the fabled GTX response king around these parts, never had I heard anyone say his car was less responsive than an equivalent GT3076....

Furthermore, I can confirm that I've driven a bunch of 3076 powered SRs and none compare to the response I am getting from my GTX3071. None of those 76s were twin scroll but neither is mine. Apples and apples.

First hand experience > folklore, wouldn't you say?

The GTX3071 felt like the open GT3082 for transient response on 98ron IMO (ie bum dyno). The GT3076 felt better everywhere to me but it was TS so this may or may not have a noticeable effect. Mick's GTX was totally awesome on E85 and better than the GT3076 on 98ron.

    • After some googling of various websites IRT the best ride height for correct geometry I ended up going,  hub to guard, 330mm in the rear and 345 at the front, these heights came from Flyin' Miata in the states as what they recommend (13" rear, 13.5" front) The rear needed to only come up 5mm, but the front came up 15mm Overall it is around a 25mm drop from OEM ride height, doesn't look all 4x4, and hopefully should be enough height to clear those pesky speed humps I have lost around 0.5° camber on the front, and around 0.2° in the rear, I have no idea about what it did to toe settings so I'll look at a new alignment next week to get it set up how I want, zero rear and a little in at the front I've also stripped the new intake and am currently cleaning and preparing the alloy for some paint, I've headed into work to do it as I can use the ovens in the soils lab to cure the wrinkle paint at 90°c Jackie has banned me from using the oven at home for stuff like this....🤣
