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?

hehe thanks paul i know you get what you pay for !

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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
