Thanks for the info mafia .. do the garrett gt3071 turb need new lines too ?? i have a stainless manifold... but i will need to get a new one for the external wastegate if i go down this path..

thats exactly right - GCG highflow is the most cheapest upgrade ($2k) and it bolts straight back on, no adjustment to oil or water lines.

2530, you'll be spending $300 on oil and water lines, and lots of time and stuffing around... I've been there and done that, pain in the ass.

If I could do it again, I'd get a high flow. But, I can't do it again..

unless the kit specifically says that the turbo will use all standard RB25 oil and water lines then yes.

ALL non RN25 turbos need new water and oil lines, except for the kits the specify that they will use the existing factor ones - which are rare as f**k.

i thought i would quickly check with yall first...

i have a 33 with ems cooler exhaust new turbo manifold etc..

and want to upgrade my turbo... i have decided on a Garrett gt3071 with .63 exhaust and with an internal wastegate....

does this all sound like a good setup ?

Cheers thanks for any feedback

I know a couple of people who have fitted these 3071r .63's to SR20DETS and they suffer from really bad boost creep. One of them is having the internal wastegate modified (enlarged) to try to alleviate the problem.

surely you have learnt something in the last 2 pages of advice and previous topics in the forced induction section.

cheap turbo's are cheap for a reason

ebay turbo's are a no no

mystery (unknown spec) old school t04 combos are lag monsters usually

what do you call a laggy turbo?

one that comes on at 3000?

one that comes on at 3500?

one that comes on at 4000?

one that comes on at 4500?

one that comes on at 5000?

so a 2530 hks would be a good upgrade on mid to high boost ?? compared to the 3071 ?

The GT-RS kit, for what it's worth, was a pretty easy thing to install.

Turbo bolts up to the existing manifold and exhaust no probs.

New oil and water lines need to be used (come with the kit) and are also pretty easy, with the exception of the water line at the back of the engine block which is a b*tch to get to.

It's a solid day's work, but will net you 230-260rwkw on an RB25.

Worth considering for what you say your goals are. I imagine they would be pretty responsive on an RB20, as plenty of the SR20 guys use them aswell.

The GCG Hiflows (RB25) all seem to be getting similar power figures.

      Unless you're fortunate enough to buy a newer car, getting an older style plate to match your name/car is difficult because they've already been purchased.  Unlike other countries, personalised plates are locked to the country and not region, so there can't be multiple versions of the same plate but with a different area code.  Hope that helps

      People use the numbers to make it look like letters to spell words/names, which is where the illegal spacing comes in. For example this GR Yaris

      Today's rock removal from my stock pile out the back into a 4m³ skip bin, I still have a bit to go, hopefully there's enough room in the skip bin, it will be close My daughter and her boy was coming on Sunday to help, but, I got possessed by demons and started work as soon as the bin arrived at 1230 today Lots and lots of barrow loads were achieved  Currently I'm sitting on the lounge drinking beer thinking of how I should have waited till Sunday for some help, tomorrow will be a day off, in saying this, my day off will involve prep and paint of my alloy coolant and PS tanks with wrinkle paint (Jackie is in Sydney till Sunday so the home oven will get a run curing the paint....LOL)

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's why I said it is a meaningless term. Because there is more than one meaning that people can apply to it. When we said "highflow", that is exactly what we mean, and exactly what is done. In a highflow, they take your housing and machine them out to take bigger wheels, have a better internal profile, etc etc, and fit a new core with the different/better/bigger wheels.
