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:

As im sure you are atm, right?

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...

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
