At the moment im deciding if i should make my car into a responsive type car or buy a 450rwkw straight line monster which i have on offer at the moment.

Ive been looking for a while now at turbos and have found that there is an r33 bolt on version of the disco potato which retails for $1350ish, just wondering if there is anyone with one of these fitted, or any informion on the subject.

Cheers

GT3071/GT3076 will keep you happy for some time.

450rwkw straight line monster with rwd? Maybe at the drags with slicks and a big rpm launch.

It would be useless on the street; not because of the power but because it will lag like buggery and offer bugger all acceleration in the first 2 gears when rolling on the throttle.

A GT2860RS is very similar to the HKS spec Garrett GT2530 , all its missing is an RB specific T3 flanged GT28 turbine housing which HKS had made for their RB specific version of the GT2530 .

The real GT3071R (cartridge no 700177-5023) is a step up in turbine and compressor size and in its smallest available 0.63 A/R integral gate turbine housing may be ok - at least its the propper non cropped GT30 turbine in its matching factory GT30 turbine housing and integral wastegate . To keep its external dimensions a little smaller you could possibly ask for one of these to be supplied with a T04B rather than T04E compressor cover .

For a buy/bolt turbo the real GT3071R is probably the go for an enthusiastically driven car . For best results you MUST insist on that 700177-5023 cartridge (centre housing and wheels) and MUST use the genuine Garrett GT30 integral wastegate exhaust housing . If you get sold smilar cartridges with cropped turbines and aftermarket exhaust housings (or modified OEM) then the result will suffer . You have to insist on the right bits to have any hope of it working as the design engineers intended , to the point where you won't discuss any variations on the real one . I know this sounds harsh but when buying tyres they're all black and made of rubber - they don't all work the same though do they .

Your bux your call , cheers A .

I reckon I do . Firstly that turbo in the pictures is not using the 700177-5023 cartridge . Its compressor looks like the evil 7/14 blade T04S type so it won't be a 71.1 mm OD GT35 family comp wheel . Can't be bothered going into all the nitty gritty again but sufficient to say that a 76mm OD compressor won't like working with the Hitachi comp housing . The Hitachi exhaust housing and GT30 turbines are not the best bed mates either . Both wheels really need housings that can support more flow to give off their best . I think the real 0.63 GT3071R in its native 0.63 A/R turbine housing would be a better all round turbo on an RB25DET .

Cheers A .

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
