Confirmed. Turbo core is rattly and on its way out. $1700 to rebuild.

Do I go with rebuilding it or would a 3071 be better with less lag?

For $1700, what do I do people? :P

mate, now that I've returned the R back to stock, I've got a spare one you can have.

just harden up & do it!

who is that with Roo

f**k 1700? a guy in melb hiflows for 800? You can get more power out of a 3071r :) but do you wanna upgrade injectors, fuel pressure reg, fuel pump, z32afm, etc etc?

with any turbo upgrade those parts will need upgrading to make full potential of new turbo

bah, rebuild/hi flow a vg30 rubes, keep the popo happy and still makes Very good power.

atleast speaking from my experience anyway

fixed

ring Bill Keen from ATS even if its just to pick his brain he built my high flow and its awesome he also built 180or200's aka Adrian and his flows good too

Hows this for good.

have a few drinks with one of my fav musical groups from LA two weeks ago.

Watch their second show last thursday. have a few more drinks. and chit chat. real nice people.

Ask me and a friend to come party with them in Las vegas in May. then stay with them in LA where they live. show us around etc.

My answer was yes. :)

oooooh I might be heading to Vegas in May to catch up with some friends from London .... who is the band?

Ruby my mate has a Garret 3071 for sale, rb housing, lines, done 3000k's, made 280rwkw on his 34. Price ~$2200

Croydon Racing Developments are doing them for $1450 new. :)

Who was selling an Apexi turbo recently ... Rad32?

The 3071 seems to be the one to go for.

Pretty heavy band. 'as blood runs black'

Think I wrote something in wasteland awhile back about them. when I was a tad wasted myself.

usually into electronic stuff. But I can appreciate good music.

    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
    • Do this, and we'll have a resource right here.
    • "Hybrid" is a meaningless term. I could not tell you what the vendor of that turbo means by "hybrid".
