Hey peoples. Hoping to get some handy info here. I am very close to purchasing a gt3040 (as my stock job let go up the mountain last weekend) and have heard from a couple of people that the internally gated version has some boost control issues caused by the wastegate being too small. Now I have read a few people here have this turbo. Do any of you have the internal gate version, and if so, is compressor surge an issue? I would prefer to avoid the expense of going external gate, as it is hard to find a low mount external gate setup.

cheers for any info here guys :huh:

sweet as. I'm going to see Matt at Predator Motor Sport tomorrow, will run the 3076 and 3082 past him and see what the go is. Both same price pretty much, guess one is just gonna have a few hundred more RPM of lag.

cheers

Yeah to an extent

the money that this exact conversions has cost me over the last 2 months takes quite an edge off the dream

:)

Yeah I know that feeling, we all burn copious amounts of money on cars but in turn it makes us happy :mellow:

Err no, In fact I could not be less happy with the car if I tried

In the words of Mr Burns I would be happier with the dollar

or the 10000 as the case may be

There's spending copious amounts on our cars, and then there's being ripped off. $10k to fit an already supplied turbo and dump and some tuning is the latter. Also charging $6000 for intercooler PIPING would be the latter. $15K from stock to 300rwkw with a forged bottom end, suspension etc. is what I call fair.

They have done much research on the 30/40 IW and based on a 2.5L engine they should not suffer boost creep or comp surge. You can have the GT3076R done with the Skyline housings now for $2400 and they are rated at a good solid 500hp.

Also be careful what is quote for the GT3076 and GT3071's because they come with optional exhaust housings. The 3076 can range in price from $1800 - 2200 depending on what option you take. And no option is a bolt on one. The 3071 is sold housing free so it's price is only around the $1200 mark. Then add your housing to that.

hey guys

thanks for all your input. i have ordered the GT3076, and its costing $1900 delivered, which I believe to be quite a good price. if all goes to plan i will be recommending the guys at Predator Motor sport for sure. always makes one feel better walking into a showroom and seeing a fully bombed skyline sittin there with all the right gear. makes me wonder what i would do with 40K hahaha

will post updated info once i get it put in and throw it on the dyno :nyaanyaa:

I guess I can relate also Andy, as my car has not moved in about 8 weeks, for nothing less than a drive around the block...

But its the most enjoyable drive around the block one could have :P

There's spending copious amounts on our cars, and then there's being ripped off.

Yeah :thumbsup:

Well I guess every dream has its price...

Mine comes true on the 18th of September when I get to met Jenifer Hawkins... :nyaanyaa:

Yeah great point, workshops with no show car (tax deduction) are questionable...

I like that Mark from Godzilla runs a 9 second GTR, tells me he knows a thing or two about drag racing...

The boys at Mercury have produced and owner a bunch of 250+ rwkw track spec 200Sx's, tell me they know their SR20's...

So on and so forth...

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
