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.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
