If you get a 3071 and front mount you'll need a pfc, personally I'd trash all that advise and go with a wicked set of blue or purple neons...............street cred is where its at.

I know, I know..................just kiddin'

Actually if you get the 3071, for the $680 I'd definitely buy the fitting kit as well.

PS I have a 3076 and it is a very good turbo, so the 3071 would be just as good with a bit more down low, I've seen guys on here claim 270+rwkw from them. They are basically the equivalent of the HKS gtrs [different ex.housing]. The HKS turbo's are made by Garrett anyway.

Turbos are for pussies.

Neons and a veilside kit bro. Set of those sick vault star chromies too. bollocksin hektik matey.

Probably want a monster tacho, too. Those chrome wheels send your engines rev limit through the roof so you'll need one that goes to at least 12.

Uleeeeeeeh.

Hola, como estas?

I have found a turbo I think would suit thhe power I am after. Does anyone have any experience with the garrett GT3071R or know a little about it??

Gracias

Hey Stevo,

Thats funny, I have a GT3071R on mine... Although I bought my kit for $1900.00, so the price on that link is CHEAP!

Great turbo for response and mid range power and torque... But even though it says that it is a 550hp turbo, dont expect to get more than 240 - 250rwkw using one of these as the rear housing is actually quite small (which gives you the response).

Im running 18psi at the manifold - about 20 at the turbo and mine makes 236rwkw, but the torque is the best thing about my set up as it makes over 550nm at 4,500 - 5,000 which is a great feeling and more than enough to pin you into your seat (and smoke tyres :().

Note: My car uses an A'Pexi Power FC, Front mount intercooler, big exhaust, Splitfire ignition coils, 550cc injectors, Bosch 040 fuel pump etc. you wont make as much power without extra mods if you bolt an aftermarket turbo.

I would only advise getting the 3071R if you are looking for a really quick and responsive turbo that will give great mid range and reasonable top end. If you want heaps of power I would reccomend looking at a GT3082R or something high mount, like a 3037R.

Here's a pic of my dyno tune (the car has made more power since) - have a look at the curve, there is almost no lag and the mid range is excellent.

G'day Mick,

That is all very interesting. How come you didn't get the GT3082R? Where is most of it power in the 3082 if the GT3071R is more mid-high range? I actually wouldn't mind more power than 240kw so maybe the bigger turbo is a better option...

If you want more power than the 3071, go for the garret GT3076 [equivalent to the HKS 3037].

My dyno results are here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...0&start=380

and 12th entry down.

The big difference with a 3071 vs any turbo that is bigger is you need custom dumps, intakes etc. So pay say $1700 for the turbo and then another say sub $5000 for setting it up.

The 3071 bolts up, and with the fitting kit, sort of uses the std set up, the 3076 may do this as well, but your throttling it and it won't see anywhere near its full potential.

The 3076 is [one of] the ideal turbo's for the 25.

So your saying for what you get out of the 3071, although lacks a little overall power still outways spending big on custom mounts to fit say the 3076 or higher?? You did mention the 3076 may bolt on but unlike to 3071 it doesnt say this on the garrett website...

Your results are very impressive man!! I'd love for you to take me for a drive one day :P:D

I personally don't know of a bolt up kit for the 3076 [there could be one, I just don't know of it]. If you did find such a kit, things like your filter, dump, exhaust, manifold etc would all hold it back a bit, you'd end up with something that is unable to work [huff] properly. I had to get all my stuff made up and it took a lot of mucking about to get sorted and settled. Its not cheap!!

This is presicely why many ppl opt for the HKS kits, they are a bolt up system. They are very $$$ to start with, but probably cost less in the long run.

I didn't do this because I had a clear plan on what components I was going to use and my goals.

The reason I didnt go for the GT3082R was because it was about $400 more expensive and I dont think youre able to use the standard air flow meter or inlet pipe (from the air filter to the turbo intake) because the extra suction sucks it closed, and the extra air mass is to much for the standard air flow meter (I could be wrong about this) so you will need an aftermarket pipe and probably a Z32 300zx AFM.

Results from different engines will always vary quite a bit, you might make more power from a 3071R than me for some reason, you dont know until you have done it. :teehee:

Dont get me wrong, the GT3071R is a great turbo, just dont expect 300rwkw +

Yeah fair enough. Well im in no rush so maybe ill hold out a little longer and depending on funds choose a path that i should be able to back up with $$ if need be. Im extremely impressed with tridentt dyno figures and even though its alot more dosh it might be something worth saving up for....ill see.

depends how much power you want so work out what you want.

You can make up to 270 kw at the wheels on standard injectors by upping the base fuel pressure via a adj press reg as i have done a couple now back to backed on various dynos. These setups had Adj exhaust gears, a gcg turbo at first which was rebuilt by Mrturbo with his core due to failed gcg cores,aftermarket ecu, pistons but can be done with standard as long as the tune and boost are kept to a minimum,splitfire coils.

I have also done one with standard internals using power fc, front mount, garrett turbo,adj FPR and exhaust gear which made 270rwkw and has been doing it for two years now.

So if you are only after 240 or so you can definitly make it on standard internals with just minor mods

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
