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.

    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
