Hi all , many here have been wondering what sort of power characteristics Garretts GT3071R (CHRA 700177-5023) turbo gives on mechanically std RB25DET's . By standard I mean the factory exhaust manifold so that the GT30 IW turbine housings can bolt up . In another thread someone mentioned they're making 270 odd Kw at around a bar of boost with Garretts GT30 IW 0.82 A/R turbine housing . I'd very much like to know where they climb into boost engine speed wise and how it all feels with part throtle driving .

Thanks in advance , cheers Adrian .

I made 230rwkw at 15psi with mine. Has internal wastegate and is on the standard exhaust manifold. The only thing I did to the manifold was port it out a bit and remove some casting marks and stuff. Other usual mods - Power FC, front mount cooler. Still on stock AFM and injectors.

I see full boost at 3300rpm and part throttle driving is good too. Pulls really good too even in 5th.

Pretty sure I have the .63 exhaust housing. Got if from GCG cos thats what they recommended.

Thanks , I'd really like to hear from people using Garretts GT30 IW turbine housings so we can all get an idea what to expect from using the 0.63 and 0.82 A/R housings .

Recently I thought I'd found a HKS GT3037 Pro S type turbine housing in 0.68 A/R but it turned out to be the 0.87 version , possibly a bit large for 2.5L and the 71mm GT compressor .

Cheers A .

That power doesn't really fall inline with the 'real' GT3071r. My bets are they supplied the cropped version.

OR.. Your dyno is simply very very conservative.

Sorry Disco to spam your thread but just to make it clear those figures the above has seen is not the norm from the real gt3071r.

Yes thats what I thought as well . You could get somewhere near that figure at the bleeding edge on a 2530 I'd think .

A while back ATP was claiming that the real GT3071R pulled up 500-1000 revs sooner than a GT3076R though the feeling overseas is that it doesn't work like that . Most people using the 3071R in the US have them on 2L fours so the results are not the same as you'd get on a 2.5L RB 6 - particularly in a 1370 odd Kg R33 .

Most people for cost reasons don't want to change their exhaust manifolds and until a twin scroll twin integral gate turbine housing becomes available (no time soon) the IW GT30 housings is all we have ATM .

In the other thread someone mentioned 270 Kw at 1 bar and I was hoping they would tell me what A/R turbine housing (assuming its a GT30IW one) and confirm the -23 cartridge number . I would think if it is the real one and the propper housing type it must be a 0.63 A/R turbine housing .

Given Mafias results (300 Kw from a real GT3076R 0.63 A/R) obviously the hot side can pass the gas but the burning question is can the GT30 turb/0.63 housing combination spin the 71mm GT compressor fast enough to make it feel good on a fairly std RB25 powered R33 .

If we can make this work it will bridge the gap between GT28BB turbos and the GT3076R IW . If not then the only answers I know of are not going to be affordable for many people .

Cheers A .

hey guys

I have seen the turbo with my own eyes - Its a ground out RB25 rear housing fitted to the 3071.

If you remember a while back, I had a T04S 3076 with a ground out RB25 housing and water meth, and with 18psi I managed to squeeze out about 245rwkw.

It needs a real garrett housing strapped on.

Final cost delivered was $1800. Thats with the 14lb actuator and bracket and exhaust flange. After I paid I found a company equally as big that was $150 cheaper. Anyhow, there's a holdup on delivery to make sure it is the right 3071. Will speak to them tomorrow.

Unfortunately I have to wait till I can get the time to do it as I work seven days a week. On the up side I have another car to drive around in January so may be ok then. Sorry guys. Parts are coming together slowly. Atp in the states are a big help, but don't talk to the receptionist, NOT helpful at all.

    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.   
    • Haha I just finished the last season of TPB: Jail last month. I'm happy they're still pumping out episodes.
