im concerned that you mentioned it will retain the same nissan exhaust housing dump pattern just rotated slightly?

how does that work?

have they made a spacer thats not flat? so it kicks the turbo up on a angle?

or is it some recast version of the standard housing that they have modified to suit.

also you mentioned it uses the stock oil and water feed. sounds like a high flow!

i have a feeling that this is very similar to my original turbo, which was a gt3071r-sp

and worked ok up to around the 270kw mark. the fact that im running a auto shows that its potential is around the 300kws on a manual, but that was the limit of its exhaust housing design and would not produce any more power no matter what we tried. it just hit the wall.

i was lucky enough to get my hands on the first gt3582r-iw released in Australia, and have never looked back.

the power delivery and just general feel of the turbo are so much nicer.

so anyone out there in SAU if you contemplating a new turbo go straight to a gt3582r-iw if you want to make over 310kws or if you have a standard engine go straight for a original 3071 with the propper garret housing. at least if you blow your engine and then rebuild a 3582 will bolt straight on down the track so you can then make more power.

theres nothing worse then paying to upgrade the same things over and over again.

upgrade it once and do it properly. you will save your self a fortune in the long run

it would have to be something pretty effective and convienent to separate me from my money .

Adrian what will you actually shell out for, now that you've been running the R33 for some time? And when? - I'd like to see/hear the results of your own upgrade. :thumbsup:

Yes my thoughts exactly .

Its hard to imagine a turbo in the exact same location as a std R33 RB25DET using the same hardware not struggling possibly at 270-280 Kw outputs . By this I obviously mean a GCG Hi flow type set up .

To go much beyond this means physically larger turbine and compressor housings and to keep them off the exhaust manifold means the turbo has to move sideways via a spacer or a turbine housing with a longer "kneck" so to speak .

I don't want to pour cold water on anyones projects but I think the most practical outcome is adapting to a dimensionally same/similar range of turbos to suit a popular car/engine that covers a wide gas flow - potential horse power - range .

Thats why I mentioned the two GT30R based turbos and the GT3582R . Admittedly the GT30 based ones use T04E series comp covers and the GT3582R a T04S type (larger) one . If you wanted to future proof the thing you'd space it to suit a GT3582R knowing that it would bolt up if the means arose to slip an RB30 under your current (or alt) cylinder head .

This way all the plumbing and dump pipe is fitted and you know you have everything covered except minor air pipe alterations for the T04S comp cover if you upgraded to the bigger turbo at a later stage .

I think do it once and do it leaving future options open , I doubt it would cost much if any more this time but down the track very probably if you go further .

Cheers A .

I dont know much about this topic at all, I am simply acting as a middle man to pass on potential interest.

GCG highflow is journal bearing too and a lot laggier than what I have seen from my own car.

There was talk about being able to put a larger core into the setup that I have because I mentioned an engine rebuild (which I will be doing over the next 12 months), so when I go over the efficiency of this current setup, they said it would be lots cheaper to upgrade...Again I am not sure on exact details.

what?

now im confused...

are you saying that your current hybrid is bush bearing?

because gcg mainly make ball bearing highflows.

the 3071r-sp that i had was running the larger gt30 core and i was still maxed out at 270 kws.

so i wouldnt go throwing money at them to upgrade the core for very minimal results.

and the other thing is if the turbo you have is so great why would you want to upgrade the core?

If the air cant get in and out thru the exhaust housing quicker a bigger core could see your results go backwards.

If you factor in the purchase price of this "bolt on kit" and then decide to upgrade the core, which means new water/oil lines

plus uninstall reinstall, you find the cost out past a hks 3037. and you will still be running a basterderised hybrid

lol was that a word?

why is the power dropping off at 6500 rpm?

is this the max flow of the exhaust housing?

im not disputing its a nice graph, but a few of the figures at the bottom look like they have been fudged a bit.

im curious if you were to pump more boost into it whats the detonation levels like?

regardless it looks like a good thing on a internally standard bottom end.

Power is dropping off because thats is when the tuner released throttle.

We have not reached full potential of this turbo, tuner reckons it has more to go, but on a stock bottom end I did not want to push things.

When my new engine is built, I will up the boost a bit and see how things go.

No doubt thats a nice graph, I'd be very very interested in the specs of this mystery turbo when they do come out, and of course what is in this "bolt-on" package. If it is indeed that good im suprised HKS hasn't snapped it up (although it seems the 3037 is in that power-figure ballpark anyway).

can you get the tuner to print out a full graph from 0 to 300kws on the side and from 0 to 180 kph on the bottom.

the graph will look very different.

then we can see where its strong points and week points are.

thanks

my full graph attached.

post-24852-1207999980_thumb.jpg

Why will it look different with speed instead of RPM down the bottom? Originally he was giving me speed on the bottom axis, but I asked him to give me RPM to show more accurately when the turbo was coming on full boost.

On the side it is 0-314kw, I am not sure I understand what you are after.

I live up in Cairns now and wont be tuning the car again until I get my new engine done. I might throw it on a dyno up here just as a comparison though.

When my mate gets his tuned, I will see if he can get kph, although I think RPM is more useful.

no on the side of your graph is around 80 kws up to 314 kws and then 2600 rpm up to 6500rpm

it all most looks like he has zoomed in to a full graph just to make the power curve look beter.

Correction - You are right (sorry was late last night when I was looking at this).

The scale gives MORE detail not less.

Anyway I am not going to argue about this, next time the car gets dynoed I will ask for a 0-300 and 0-7000 rpm scale.

Hi guys, my first post on here im from the UK, thought id give something back in return for all the great technical information I've got off this site.

Sorry to bump an older thread but it seemed pointless starting a new one. In answer to the thread topic, I bought the advertised turbo from tweakit at the same time this thread was started. I havent had it fitted yet but I thought some of you might want to see what it is they are selling. I will attempt to add some pics!

I double checked all the advertised sizes with them before shipment but on arrival it was different. It was advertised Compressor Housing A/R -: 0.70a/r but it is actually 50a/r. After informing them they have updated the website with the correct information.

Sorry for the poor quality of the pics, they were taken on a webcam inside the lid of my laptop so hard to get a good angle etc

The only badge on there is "GCG AC687 p/n GTST- GT3071R"

It will be being fitted in the next few weeks hopefully, I have bought all the parts and engine was rebuilt last year, spec will read something like..

RB25DET

wiseco forgies

emanage ultimate, no afm

fmic

aftermarket exhaust

decat

downpipe

steel headgasket

tomei poncams

550 injectors

walbro fuel pump (though im thinking of changing this)

I think n1 oil pump was fitted but cant quite remember!

Any feedback on the turbo I've bought would be great, I will post up my results when its all complete.

looks like the same as simonr32's with a hpc coated turbine housing. The gcg badge pretty much confirms tweakit are on selling the same turbo.

So it'll be the .71 OP6 copy turbine housing with the cropped turbine, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Simon certainly got good results from it.

It looks to be a decent sized waste gate flap too.

I have emailed them previously about the housing, here is a cut n paste from the question i asked and the reply i got:

Question:

I am thinking about getting one of these, on the bottom it says that it is available with an RB25DET exhaust housing, was wondering if it is also available with a VG30 (OP6) single turbo exhaust housing, from what i know its the same as the RB25 but is a .8 not .6, if it is how much would it be, if not how much minus the exhaust housing but to suit an rb25 exhaust housing.

Im basically looking for that turbo with the bigger .8 exhaust housing, internal gate and straight bolt on without the need to have a custom dump pipe made.

Answer:

We now use a new casting specially made that is better than the vg30. it is rated at .7 a/r which I understood to be more than the VG30. It has the 6 bolt dump pattern and t3 flange.

Well I said Id post up with my results but its not what I was hoping for. Turbo's now fitted but we cant keep the boost down. I run a profec 2 EBC and its boosting way too high. The EBC has now been disconnected so its running with just the actuator but the boost just keeps rising, seeing it go upto at least 1.4bar and would probably keep rising if I tried

I have emailed GCG who said they never run into boost issues. Heres their reply........

"There are a few things you need to check in order to eliminate some possible scenarios.

*Blocked Catalytic Convertor causing excessive exhaust back pressure.

*Broken/Split Vacuum hose from actuator to pressure source.

*Too much pre-load on the actuator rod

*Actuator rod bent and possibly catching on the bottom of the cannister/bracket.

The reason I ask these questions is that we fit 38mm wastegate flappers to these turbochargers, which we also fot to XR6T turbos, and we never run into boost regulation issues. The only other thing you can do is pull the actuator off the turbo and bring it down for testing."

Anyone else got any other ideas? Theres no CAT fitted and no split hoses :thumbsup:

Would appreciate any pointers as I'm in the UK so theres not much hope of me popping into GCG personally :thumbsup:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
