Looking at buying a new garret turbo for my rb20.

Ive been search for last 2 days on specs for these 2 turbos.

GCG will do the 2871R with a skyline T3 rear housing.

How much effort is it to fit a 3071R, has anyone got one of these with .63 A/R and a 2.75" inlet.

If anyone can point me in the direction of a thread covering the variations of these turbos that would be great thanks.

See Nabil's thread on forced Induction http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=145752&hl=.

Also see Slide's prices on the trader section on SAU, good prices and http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=131709

Yep GT2871R series turbos use the high performance GT28 turbine with Garretts 71.1mm GT35 series compressors in 48 or 52 or 56 trim .

There are variations in both turbines and compressors in the GT3071R/GT2835 series cartridges/turbos . Don't be confused by HKS terminology - the 28 in 2835 does NOT mean it uses a GT28 turbine , they ALL use a cropped GT30 turbine in 84 or 90 trim .

The turbine takes one of three forms , cropped or 56.6mm OD in 84 or 90 trim . Unmolested in 60mm 84 trim . The real GT3071R uses the 60mm 84T turbine .

Compressors are same deal as the GT2871 or 71.1mm 48/52/56T .

Same old same old , drama is always getting a T3 flanged exhaust housing to suit the chosen turbocharger .

Three options with the GT2871R (or any GT28 series turbo with same turbine) .

1) Rat up the .64 A/R HKS housing from 2530/2540/2535 or GT-RS .

2) Reprofile one of the Nissan/Hitachi RB20/25/VG30 housings .

3) GCG's recent custom housing .

With "GT3071R's" there are some traps . Firstly some are made with the cropped GT30 turbine which would be sort of ok if the exhaust housing was GT30 based ie like HKS's T3 flanged ones . Sadly Garrett and HKS like to sell the things with bored out and butchered T28 flanged GT28 housings which don't work . Garrett call them "GT3071R-WG" and they are dogs . HKS also did it with GT2835's aimed at SR20/CA18's which have T28 flanged exhaust manifolds - note I mean the integral waste gated ones . HKS also have T28 flanged GT30 turbine housings that DO work just no integral waste gate .

IMO the ones worth using are the real GT3071R cartridge number 700177-5023 and one or two of the HKS custom combinations of the cropped GT30 turbine with the 52 or 48 trim compressor . The HKS option is expensive and may not get you the exhaust housing you want . The real Garrett 3071R can now be had with Garretts own GT30 integral waste gate exhaust housing so its reasonably easy , I would use the smaller .63 A/R housing if you do this .

RB20's have small ~ 330cc cylinders so not a mountain of torque at low/med revs . A bit of boost early on helps but if the compressor is a healthy one and steps are not taken to minimise it they surge badly once they get going . The old fix was to use larger A/R turbine housings but then you lose the bottom end torque . HKS gets around it by fitting port shrouded compressor housings ie to their RB specific GT-RS and possibly their RB type GT2530 which may have been called GT2530KAI . Some firms can do a ported shroud by machining the large boss type TO4B compressor housing like GT2860RS's and many GT2871R turbos come std with . Something like this or the RB type HKS GT-RS (GT2871R 52T with HKS housings) would probably be nice on a street RB20DET . Or if you know someone running the ball bearing Hi Flow get them to take you for a spin , you may like it .

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
