From the compressor maps of the real GT3071R it should get there but I wouldn't count on it being responsive in large housing single scroll form . Didn't you used to say that a HKS GT2835 Pro S hit the straps at about 280-300 Kw because its the same compressor wheel just without the cropping on the turbine blades . I do have one idea on ice but no hints just yet - pending ...

GCG was supposed to have had the GT3076R 52T though being a special order item it may not be discounted like that other IW GT3076R 56T you mentioned recently . I imagine its cheaper than HKS and you don't end up with the wrong turbine housing .

How did your friends 0.87 A/R housing go ?

Cheers A .

Not sure.. :) I do know Grepins GT2835ProS had boost drop issues over 270-280rwkw but he did manage to push over 300rwkw with working on improving the motors airflow via plenum, cams, exh. manifold etc etc. ~313rwkw from memory. If he were to hold the wastegate shoot power would shoot up over 300rwkw, possibly hks's wastegate flow is just a little too good once then pressure builds up behind the flap blowing it open.

So if thats the case and they are the same comp wheel which I wasn't aware of then yes it should do it with no real problems. :)

But from what I've seen its definitely not possible on a stock cam'd motor.

Steve with the .87? As I said above it made 320 something rwkw on a shade over 20psi. Its been some years so the details are beginning to fade. :) But it did go well and appears to hit the ceiling of what a few other GT3076 and hks3037ProS tend to make and initially he complained of lag from the .87 which I believe was sorted with cams and a better tuner.

He still floats around on these forums from time to time.

    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
