Hey guys just got back from Mallala where I had a track day today, my first ever and let me say I walked away like this ---> :(

Only problem, I also walked away with a blown turbo which wasn't so good :glare: Now I'm sitting here thinking I could throw a standard turbo back on but hey, that would be boring right? So I thought I might as well upgrade and go for an aftermarket jobbie like a hi-flow or something similar. Anyone got any recommendations? I don't want crazy power, just a nice usable 250 or so rwkw would be awesome; what's my best bang for buck?

Awesome.. :kiss:

A nice little GT3071r .6 IW-M, spend ~$150 on water and oil lines, $30 on a 10mm spacer plate, $150-$180 on an inlet pipe, $30 on the outlet 90degree elbow and $30 IC pipe extension. $200 for a new bell mouth dump.

The -M depicts the larger flapper that is now available from garrett; it costs $100 more over the std small 1" wastegate.

Bill at ATS can do reasonable prices on these turbo's, better than what GCG do from what I've experienced.

Might also be worth quizzing CRD as they can do some decent prices on turbo's all though they do tend to be on the slow side getting back to you. So don't get too worried if you don't hear from them in a hurry. :(

An easy 250rwkw with a little more to go should you wish to lean on it a little harder at a later date.

The GCG highflow will get to 250rwkw but it can be a stretch; with cams you can push 260rwkw but only just. However it is cheaper. :rant:

-------

I've got a few little things I'd like to do to mine before I take mine out. The usual oil cooler, oil temp, oil pressure and egt guage.

BUT I CANT WAIT!!!!! :glare:

Hahaha, don't tempt me Dan!

This 3071r that you boys are talking about, what sort of cost am I looking at all up? Obviously I'll need larger injectors too yes?

i'd personally get new injectors + fuel pump with the new turbz just to be on the really safe side.

The GT3071 IW (IW saves on ext gate costs and manifold costs) depending on where you get it can be had from 1800-2200.

Give ATS a buzz and see what he can do the GT3071r (60mm turbine wheel) and the .6 rear with the larger IW flap.

Dont let bill talk you in to using one of those ford 5bolt type IW housings as they are not that crash hot.

Be sure to ask for the 60mm turbine wheel version and also the larger IW flap that has an additional M on the end of the turbine housings part number.

With the .6 rear I really wouldn't bother running any bigger than the 76mm comp wheel because if the air can't get out it most definitely can't get in. So you trade the turbo's transient response (due to increased inertia contained within larger heavier wheels) and a little bit of a spool for .... nothing.

There's 2 versions of the GT3076r floating around.

The old crappy .7 comp cover 7blade comp wheel and the newer HKS3037S type .6 port shroud comp cover and 6 blade comp wheel.

The new GT3076 is good for low 300's with a pair of cams or mid 300's at the wheels with race fuel or WMI. The GT3040 has nothing over the new GT3076 apart from a little more lag and decreased transient response UNLESS you run the .8 rear and race fuel or WMI where it does make more power, mid to high 300rwkw's. Obviously that is running with a set of cams, exhaust manifold good exhaust etc etc.

So if you plan on running pump or the .6 rear its really not worth going the gt3040. It used to be once upon a time when the hks3037s core was not available through garrett but now it is........... :(

Sorry Dan, its only my opinion though. lol :)

dont forget metal head gagit too. 1.3mm is the go for the 25. around 400 somalians for this!

just remember too..... you'll need supporting mods like injectors, ecu up grade, metal head gaskit,fuel pump.

dont be tight if your going for a up grade like your talking coz if you do it will only cost you your motor!

my 3 1/2 cents worth!

wtf sort of bullshit statement is that...the stock one is 1.2mm and is awesome why would you spend $400 on a 1.3mm that will do the same job..... If you were to upgrade the headgasket you would be going for at least a 1.6mm

also cubes...haha gt3040 ftw lol get bit higher hp lol...EXTERNAL GATE FTW

I love my crappy little HKS 2530 Luke - maybe a 2530 or 2535 might be an option for you - you can pick them up 2nd hand for around $1k every now and then. Pretty much lag free, and lots of fun. I am making 230 odd with my little 2530

I'd leave the door open to make just that little bit more power. :rofl:

Having had ~268rwkw for a little while now I can't wait to get it up around 300.

It doesn't feel slow but you do think.. oh what if..

The bug will always bite :)

I agree leave room for more.

The GT-RS is also a good option to go for response wise and will make around the 260 rwkw mark and be very responsive from low rpm.

I know you luke and you will want to go for the GT3071 as the response is still good and you will love the way it comes on boost and pulls hard and 300 rwkws in a daily is always fun.

I would suggest getting the Deatscheworks that i got from America have seen quite a few people use these now with great results.

Also as has been stated before by Dangerman4 you should go for the bosch 044 intank fuel pump and not the walbro as it has been seen that these have a tendancy to struggle at around 300rwkw.

My 2c

Hmmm... definately leaning more towards the 3070 option now.... Tried calling Bill at ATS but got the answering machine so hopefully he will ring back with a quote today :D

You are right though Shaun, probably best to get something with a little headroom, then I can always squeeze more out later when I get bored (which I will)

Definitely go the GT3071R over the GT-RS. They use the same compressor but different trims, 52T in GT-RS and 56T in GT3071R (correct me if I'm wrong) except the GT-RS uses the smaller GT28 NS111 turbine. These are only good for about 330hp, but the compressor is rated up to about 420hp. Little point in crammimg more air in if you cant get it out is there?

Just make sure that if you do get the GT3071R, get the proper 60mm turbine, not the cropped 56mm one.

    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
