You will need a spacer plate between the exhaust housing and the manifold so that the compressor housing clears the exhaust manifold but thats a PITA and cheap .

my input in bold :laugh:

And if a 3071 can't fit without a spacer then nothing will. The garrett turbine inlet is smaller than the nissan manifold outlet as mentioned in DP03's post so there is some work involved in matching the 2. Luckily, as you need a spacer you can grind that out and not the turbine housing inlet.

Great post discopotato03.

I'm looking at upgrading my turbo and have had the 3076 recommended to me by one of the better known tuning shops in Sydney.

I think the concept has merit.............we all get sick of answering the same requests all the time and yes we do get short/abrupt and minimalist.

But what we all have to remember is that we all started in that exact same position years ago ourselves - and short/abrupt and minimalist can be seen as downright rude.

I'm no expert, and I've asked some pretty dumb questions at times, and there has always been somebody there with the patience to help.

And I've stuck to it and learnt as I went along to the point where I can actually now help out at times.......all thanks to SAU [and spending $$ modding my skyline].

As a forum, we don't want to see potential/members disenfranchised or leaving because we fail to answer what may be [to others] a simple question. And that is the danger.........

Very well said.

Sometimes those who have been there and done it all before forget and assume newbies already know what they should be searching for... it is not always obvious at first.

I'm new to turbos, and Skylines for that matter and it can put you off this forum when you read glib replies about using a search engine.

Not that it is unique to this forum of course :laugh:

^^ Its a fine line dude.

I would think, theres almost everything required on this forum to achieve what you want... the delta between taking it to a shop and getting raped, is TIME... Squishy organic human units hate spending time on something, when they could possibly get away with taking a shortcut.

It takes time and lots of $$ to get a great result sometimes, hence why ppl are short or "rude" to those that are inherently lazy.

Anyway, I think all this PC talk is ruining this FAQ thread... course i expect it all to me moderated.. so party on :laugh:

GT3071 or GT3076 IW and you really can't go wrong from a bolt on perspective if you are chasing a fairly easy/lazy 270-280rwkw. The GT3076 if you wish to squeeze 300rwkw.

Bolt on a GT35r to the stock manifold is just silly. They don't make more power than the GT30's unless they are paired with nice cams and most importantly a decent exhaust manifold.

Port matching etc goes a long way. A bloke had a GT35r .82 on his rb30det; 270rwkw 17psi. No port matching.

I port matched bolted up a GT3076r .82 and 268rwkw on 15psi. 17psi saw 285rwkw.

So port match port match port match and don't go bigger than a GT3076r on the std exhaust manifold unless you want to accelerate slower to peak power of where u are for a 10th of a second.

Very briefly what bolts to RB20/25DET unmodified housing wise .

Obviously the factory Hitachi RB20/RB25/VG30 single type turbochargers .

HKS model specific turbos/kits .

GT25/28 series - GT2530/GT2535/GT-RS .

GT30 series ----- GT2835 Pro S/GT3037 Pro S .

Real type Garrett GT3071R/GT3076R - possibly needing manifold spacer .

Garrett GT3582R - but a bit extreme for 2/2.5L six cylinder powered RWD car .

Note I have only mentioned integral wastegate turbos and in the forms you can buy them as complete .

This is because most people want something they can buy/bolt on relatively easily .

Cheers A .

Heh... yeah, I suppose there are too many variables regarding the above topic ^^ .

E.G, I'm not lazy and generally can find almost anything on the net most times, but not always, especially if it's a topic you're not already clued in on.

I've used search here and can find 'answers' to my question but its hard to know if it is the right answer, which is compounded by conflicting answers... blah - just going round in circles here, probably easier to not say anything :/

Great info Cubes, thanks mate.

It is good to at least have a narrowed down list of turbo options - I was also told the 3076 was good for 260-280rwkw.

Good to see consistant advice, gives me confidence in what to buy.

I must admit I've found this area (turbos) fairly confusing - so many variables and choices, conflicting info, plus its an expensive upgrade so you wanna get it right the first time!

Also will keep in mind the port matching comments as well.

It'd be nice if I could crack 300rwKW though... a nice round figure...

Don't want to stray too far off the topic, but any suggestions on what brand/size injectors, fuel pump & reg to compliment a GT3076 also most welcome :P

Cheers

A matter of opinion but GT3076R's can do better than many give them credit for , don't think that just because some can't get 320Kw + from a 3076R equipt engine that its necessarlity the turbos limitations .

As I mentioned a while back the real GT3071R has seen 440 Hp at the wheels in some apps but I think in single scroll form the turbine housing would need to be big and the power curve too peaky for most people .

I think 280 odd Kw is not unreasonable to expect with Garrett's single scroll 0.63 A/R GT30 turbine housing - even an IW one .

The thing that's impossible for me to predict is what it will feel like on an RB25DET at around town type revs and road speeds .

My best guess (and that's all it is) is that it would feel pretty linear and controllable and hopefully not have that's lets double the engines torque output in 500 revs when it came on boost . All too often that shove in the back characteristic means virtually uncontrollable wheelspin which is not fast , dramatic yes fast no .

A progressive climb into boost would be nice and possibly do a little in the way of hoof balanced traction control .

Anyhow there should be results of such an upgrade soon .

Cheers A .

  • 2 years later...

havent heard to much about gcg's highflow r33 turbo?? any comments?? Iv heard there 2k and rated at 450hp...therefore more then a 3071r and no port matching needed, also maybe more responsive?? and can put out 270rwkws on about 18psi....any 1 back this up? just thought it would be good to look into

The SK R33 cranked out 266Kw with a GCG Hi flow but it also had the larger Z32 300ZX OP6 type turbine housing , also found on some R34 GTt OE turbos . I don't remember the exact figure but the 0P6 turbine housing is supposed to have something like + 20Kw when machined to suit the GCG BB Hi Flows turbine wheel .

That car had porting/cams/better inlet/better IC/fuel system/management .

The big draw with these Hi Flows is that they look absolutely std in situ because externally they ARE std , all the factory heat shields obviously go back in as does all the original oil/water/exhaust/air plumbing bits .

I understand that the "Batamble ?" front exhaust pipe actually bolts up much more easily that the std and aftermarket "dump pipes" because it comes straight out behind the turbo before it ducks down and under . Tight bends straight off the dump flange are a PITA because the lower fasteners are a bitch to get at .

I need an easy solution for my R33 and I have an 0P6 housing so may be a good thing with that front pipe .

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
