Just purchased my GT3071R

56 trim, 71mm compressor wheel

4inch compressor cover

T3 flanged with 0.71 exhaust a/r,

which mates up with the stock dump-pipe.

Cost me $1900 from Rotomaster in Melbourne

Would of cost me a further $100 for a GT30 style 0.63 ex-housing,

but would of cost a further $300 for a custom dump pipe.

Oil and water lines were custom made by HIS and cost me $330- all braided except oil drain pipe.

Some bango fitting from the stock unit were chopped and re-used.

BTW - Turbo needs a 10mm spacer between turbo and manifold,

as comp cover is quite large.

Stay tuned for further updates...(more pics/ dyno graph/etc.) :)

The compressor cover was hitting the manifold,

so I had to use a 10mm spacer and remove the four manifold bolts.

I replaced them with approx. 10mm longer ones

Below is a picture of the four bolts that had to be removed

and replaced with longer ones.

(4 bolts and nuts from Metric Man cost me $6)

The yellow rectangle highlights the section of the manifold

that comes into contact with the compressor cover.

Latter on i realised that it was not sitting flush with the manifold.

The heat shield had to be removed & the bottom right bolt had

to be threaded in 5mm deeper as i could not put the nut on it.

This is a picture of the set-up when I placed it on this morning at 4:30am

(Me and my mate were burning the midnight oil into the early hours of the day. :) )

the arrow is pointing to the bolt that had to be threaded deeper.

Will use a power fc

ATM: Mods are:

Full 3inch exhaust

Apex FMIC (its quite small)

HKS GEN 3 EBC

BOSCH pump

HKS mushroom filter

It made 211.2rwkw on 12psi with a SAF-C

Cannot wait till this one starts spoolin' :)

That looks like a big comp cover - no wonder you needed the spacer.

What is the origin of the turbine housing? 0.71 A/R with T3 flange seems a bit of an unknown.

Will be very interested to see how it goes for you. One of these should offer response and good power.

Any chance of a clear shot of the ID plate with numbers?

why the standard dump pipe? that will be hella restrictive!!!!!!

none the less top stuff :)

Ill be watching this thread closely as I am going an externally gated 30R on my 20

Just curious if this on a RB20 or 25.. I have purchased a GT30 with that .64 option above(have to look into the exact specs of it when i get it). Would be keen to compare if yours is on RB20, though mine wont be tuned till mid Janurary.

Are you planning on using camshafts at all cause Id also be curious to see what you choose. Cams are a unknown area to me and any advice I can get would be a bonus lol...

cheers Dan.

Its going on a RB25

Will probably put a set of 550cc injectors

Still debating on wether or not i will put camshafts. :)

Will post a pic latter on today.

The oil line comes out lower down and at the side of the block for mine ['98 rb25], did this change? Was it different for earlier models?

The photo shows the oil line coming from the back of the block?

Just curious........it could just be in the rotation of the housing etc

Pretty sure its the rotation.

On the photo the compressor and exhaust covers were not yet adjusted.

Im installing a Gt3071R as well. Certainly not a bolt on operation, just about finished though, should have it firing tonight

I know its a headache.

The next person that says to me the words 'bolt on' will lose his teeth.

Go to go know...back to thw garage. :dry:

Damn - some cool things going on with RB25s at the moment. I will watch with great interest at how the GT3071Rs go - I got >< close to going one, but decided a GT3076R in the end.

The RB25 dyno thread will be interesting watching soon!

    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
    • The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
    • Hey guys. New here. I am having an issue with my hr34. The fuel pump isn't turning on. I removed it from the tank. Bench test it. Wasn't working. Order new one and installed it today. Still not turning on. Checked the relay. Relay has voltage on the contact side. I jumped it and it tuned the pump on. Which lead me to checked the coil voltage.  Turned on the ignition and had my meter across the coil and there wasn't any dc voltage. Had my meter lead on the positive and I used the frame ground and noticed there was 12 volts. Which lead me to believe the relay isn't getting a negative signal. I traced the wire ( black with pink strip).it goes back to the bottom on the steering and it gets lost into the harness.   I checked at the ecm and I can't seem to find that wire color.   My question if any one knows is. Can I not just run the negative through a ignition relay to turn on the fuel pump relay?. Or anyone ever had this issue and if so how did u go about fixing it.    
    • So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.
