CAn you elaborate on this GT3071R

What size ex. A/R should i use?

What is it rated at? I think 500hp

What its response like and full boost rpm?

Do i need a custom dump? How much?

How much is this turbo cost? Best price was $1750 on ebay

Is anyone running this turbo on a RB25? If yes please state mods and power made.

FOR F@#$%K SAKE! :O

Does anyone know the ANSWER to any of the above QUESTIONS???

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh much better now.... :(:(:(

I have one with a .7 cover and a RB25 Turbo read ground out to fit.

Comes on full boost at 3200rpm in second.

I'd go for the .6 compressor cover - Your max efficiency will be on lower boost. With the .7 compressor cover, max efficiency is at about 22psi - which is too much for a standard internal RB25.

So yeah, .6 compressor cover, and about 16psi and you should see over 250rwkw easily. If you want a bit of lag and heaps of top end, go for the .86 rear.

just make sure they don't sell you one with a to4s compressor wheel.

:D

Talk to Slide off this forum! i just bought one for my rb25 & its being put on as we speak! its got the 0.82ar plus im putting in poncams etc so it should be fairly responsive!

:laugh:

Al_R33 I thought you had a 3076 as well???

i had 3071 on my rb20 in both .86 and .64 housings.

.86 reached 260rwkw @ 21psi, boost could be controlled lower, laggy as crap eg no boost at all until low3 full boost @ low 5rpm

.64 reached 257ewkw @ could not get boost below 22psi. 500rpm better.

Lots of fiddling to fit - not worth it IMO

Be careful peoples , not all Garrett GT3071R's are created equal .

Firstly the GT3071R-WG . Dog turbo becauses it uses the cropped GT30 turbine in a .64 or .86 GT28 IW exhaust housing . Failed concept , doesn't work acceptably and should not be on the market .

Rule (1) with GT3071R turbos , if it has a T25/28 flange (which is wrong for Skylines) its looking for a victim .

Secondly the R E A L GT3071R W I L L have a T3 flanged exhaust housing , not any old T3 flanged housing but a real Garrett GT30 type exhaust housing . The R E A L GT3071R will have an unmolested 60mm GT30 84 trim turbine , approx 60 x 55 mm dimensions . This turbine and its native turbine housing family are the critical components that make this turbocharger WORK properly . Its a production derivative of the Garrett competition specific TR30R turbocharger .

Do a few searches on Garrett GT3071R and wipe anything ending in WG or -WG . You'll find it at ATP Turbo in the US amongst other places . You'll also find it at turbobygarrett.com but only in the turbo comparison sheet . Scroll down the table to the last of the three GT3071R's , I think they quote is as the highest power capable variant at around either 440 or 450 Hp . Even search this site , at least one person here is using one on an RB20 .

Lastly , don't forget that genuine Garrett GT30 integral wastegate housings (T3 flange) are now available in .63 .82 and 1.06 AR ratio .

It it were me I'd read the turbos ID tag carefully if searching for one of these , it should say CHRA no 700177-0023 like that Garrett comparison sheet tells you . Don't accept any moron telling you that those numbers are unimportant or minor variations are insignificant .

Cheers A .

Thanks 'discopotato03' ill quote this CHRA no700177-0023 when i purchase the turbo.

While we are on the topic if a particular turbo is rated at 500hp. Is that the figure it can provide at the flywheel or the rear wheels?

Will this turbo clear the block and chasis? Will it need a spacer?

Hi Nabil , it seems the power figure of the turbocharger is worked out from its maximum compressor flow in pounds of air per minute . A conservative rule of thumb is 10lbs per hundred Hp so 50lbs of air to 500Hp .

No turbocharger manufacturer can work out how much Hp their turbo will make on any engine because there are so many variables . Its up to the person developing an engine to make it swallow as much air as possible and vent exhaust gas at a sufficient rate to not suffer reversion and pumping losses .So basically a 500Hp capable turbo may not get you 500 from your engine , it will depend on how well its developed .

Cheers A .

grim32,

Have you had yours tuned since mr squiggle had his way with it?

Nah i havent, i did notice on the last power run it was starting to roll out a cloud of smoke but didnt think to much of it at the time. A week or so later i saw it was blowing a heap of oil out the dipstick so i let it sit in the garage for a while. Recently i did a comp test and found no.2-6 were at 125psi but no.1 was only at 75psi. Lifted the head and no.1 bore was glazed up and there were detonation marks on the top side of the piston (melted). (Whoops accidently mis set the boost on the dyno and ran 30psi for a sec or two)

I decided to ditch the 20 for now and picked up a cheap R32 RB25de which i should have back in soon, i plan to run it at 15psi and see how it goes, if bad RB30DET here i come.

Bugger. :D

The 25 will work well with the turbo you have but the 30 may choke a little.

15psi through the 25 head will be roughly the same air flow as ~19-20psi through the 20. Throw your stock turbo RB20 cams into it, better suited for turbo. :)

The RB25 n/a springs actually are the RB20det springs.

Most experience valve float at higher boost levels as the rb25de valves are larger, so they really need a better spring.

But a lot have had good results when shimming their springs so that may be a cheap way out if your only looking to run lowish boost, which 15-17psi is. :D

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
