I am in the market for a new turbo for my RB25 ERC33, I had reason to ring GCG and while talking to their Sales Manager, Mark Landell, he mentioned that they can provide me with the internal wastegate Garrett GT3071R with a custom T3 turbine set up [they come out with a T28 std]. He reckoned this set up is a easy install bolt on equivalent of the HKS 2835proS.

Now I’m not knocking GCG, they have an enviable reputation and I've only got good things to say about they myself, and Mark is very likely a good man and knows his stuff. But he was a bit reserved when it came to talking up this turbo’s performance and likely power output. He reckoned 250rwkw was a good starting point and that maybe a bit more. This sort of threw me because the HKS 2835proS has figures quoted more like 300rwkw. And I’m already making 240rwkw with the turbo I’ve got, so I really want to upgrade, not move sideways.

I just wanted to see what everyone thought? I know discopotato has written some stuff on the 3071 external wastegate and is keen on an internal version, but is what GCG offering just such an animal, or is it something else/less.

The turbo GCG are selling has a 0.50 compressor cover, a 56 compressor wheel trim, and an 84 exhaust wheel trim and is rated at 450hp, but because it is new on the market, they really had no installed real time power output figure.

a 450hp wont throw you to 300rwkw.

Thats what I thought, but its like they are saying no it won't/yes it will. On one hand they put out a 450hp figure, and on the other they say it is the direct equivalent of the 2835proS? Ambivalent messages methinks!!!

putting the larger comp wheen into the stock turbo is a bad idea

GCG did this in thier "stage 2" hi-flow and ended up stopping it because of the surge issues etc.

You'll have to step up a frame to the GT30 series with the GT40 wheels if you want more than the GCG provides.

Talk to Slide off this site! I just bought a GT30r off him

here are the specs

Specs:

Turbine:

-84 trim 60mm GT30,

Compressor:

-76.2mm 56T compressor

Compressor housing:

4'' inlet

500hp rated

Dual Ball bearing core

Internally Gated

Exhaust housings:

T3 inlet GT30 outlet 0.82

& also GCG offer the same thing except they rate this turbo @ 600hp! Anyone know why?

trident, if you are unsure whether it will outperform a HKS 2835 pro s (remembering that both the GT3071 & HKS 2835 pro s use a 71mm compressor) and then the only way to be sure would be to go the 76mm compressor.

if GCG are talking about the GT3071WG disco is going to try to talk you out of it as it has the cropped turbine, if it is new then it may be one of the new internally gated garrett housings.

ask about GT3076 that should give you a little more headroom or splash out on a HKS3037 (the HKS version of the 3076)

check atpturbo.com as they can supply a genuine GT30 internally gated turbine housing that you can mate to whatever combo takes your fancy.

Yes, I've looked at the Gt3076, I reckon it would be a better bet. If I got it with a T3 and a good exhaust turbine combo it would be close as.

If you read the first post, I state that the GT3071R is an internal. I really don't want to go to external, I believe that I can get everything I want out of a good internal wastegate.

And just to set the record straight don't want 300rwkw, but I want my turbo to be capable of it if I ever do want to. I am really only looking at around 270-280, the motor is untouched except for cams.

trident i read your first post and understand you want a internal gate. if you go thru the garrett catalogue they offered a GT3071WG with a cropped 56mm turbine, it is an internally gated turbo.

however it doesn't use a genuine GT30 turbine housing.

hopefully the one GCG are quoting is one of the new 'genuine' GT30 housings with 60mm turbine (not 56mm) and internal gate.

if it isn't you could order one from ATP and buy the rest locally.

No, they are offering a GT3071R with a custom turbine ie they replace the T28 with a T3, it is internally wastegated. It is a very new offering and not listed on their catalogue, I asked why I couldn't see it on their site as well and that was the reply. But overall I think it will be too small for me anyway, so have gone off the idea. going to have a yarn to Slide first and see what he can do..........[its only money, haven't touched 2009's wages yet..lol]

Yes I'd want to know the turbine dimensions not just its trim .

Just on the "cropped" GT30 turbine in the 2835 and 3071R-WG , its the GT28 exhaust housings that turn it all to shite not the turbine . The 2835 Pro S turbos use that turbine as well and they are not too bad but remember they use a GT30 based exhaust housing .

Before Garrett released their new GT30 and GT35 IW housings I was told GCG had been using some other T3 flanged IW housing but I not sure what type .

If it were me I'd be insisting on the real GT3071R with the full sized GT30 60mm 84 trim turbine . Garret now makes a propper GT30 IW T3 flanged exhaust housing and I would use nothing less on any GT30 turbine based turbo . Have a look at ATP's site at the REAL GT3071R , they don't mention "real" but its the one without the "WG" tacked on the end of it . The site shows a selection of exhaust housings so they can obviously sell it with the good IW GT30 housing .

Cheers A .

So how does that gt30r compare to a gt3071r?

Specs:

Turbine:

-84 trim 60mm GT30,

Compressor:

-76.2mm 56T compressor

Compressor housing:

4'' inlet

Exhaust housings:

T3 inlet GT30 outlet 0.82

500hp rated

Dual Ball bearing core

Internally Gated

Going off Garretts current numbering system a GT3071R is a GT30 turbine with a 71mm Major OD compressor . The GT3076R is same deal with a 76mm compressor instead . So 30 + 71m or 30 + 76mm - 3071 or 3076 .

Personal opinion but the GT30 turbine is struggling with the 56 trim 76mm wheel so response is compromised slightly . The 52 trim 76mm wheel works well but is only marketed by HKS I believe , called GT3037 52T .

The GT3071R is supposed to be a production version of Garretts competition only TR30R using their off (their) shelf wheels . In theory its good for 440 Hp but at high boost pressures .

By response I mean boost threshold as well as the transient response of the turbos rotating group .

Out of time cheers A .

is this the turbo that your refering too?? or similar. i have just purchased one with the .63 nissan housing on it but am yet to have it bolted up to see how it goes. it should be alright however for the moment im a lil sceptical about the 500hp rating on the turbo and obviously not gonna make that power on the .63 housing. having said that the reason i went for this turbo was that it was easy enough later off down the track to bolt on a .82 ex gate gt30 housing (funds wernt permitting when i purchased this turbo to eg gate setup.) and try for bigger power.

this is the link for the same turbo on atp turbo

http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant...tegory_Code=GRT

this is the turbo i have, its identical same antisurge comp cover and all, just the .63 nissan housing.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
