hey guys, i was looking at getting a GT3071R with a 0.64 rear housing on a T25/T28 flange. was wondering if this would push to much boost for my stock internals. i currently only have 255L fuel pump , 3" turbo back exhaust, FMIC. i would obviously be getting a ECU remap straight after and have already got a boost EBC. ANY HELP PLEASE ? my goal at the moment is 200rwkw+ but am looking to go further in the future and what a turbo to support this statement!

Theres heaps on here about how much the stock internals take, but I think anything much more over that your usually relying on the motors past history and chance etc.

I think the turbos a good choice, im actually looking at getting one myself - good tradeoff between response and power it seems

No the biggest factor is it won't bolt to your exhaust manifold , T25/28 flanged exhaust housings are too small at the inlet for 6 leg exhaust manifolds . You really need someting with a T3 flanged exhaust housing .

A .

Surprised it took that long for someone to point that out...even the dump pipe won't fit...and if you are chasing only 200rwkw or so then you are looking at the wrong turbo...

same turbo with different exhaust housing is 280rwkw capable though.

for 200 ideally get yourself a hks 2510 or 2530, pricey and getting old though if second hand. The problem you have is that all of the small frame garrett turbos are t2 flanged, the smallest t3 flanged one is the 3071.

You could get your stock turbo highflowed, but even they are generally optimised for power around the 250rwkw mark so you have the response trade off.

Or you could talk to a turbo shop about getting a t28 cored turbo fitted to a modified stock exhaust housing. I would suggest a gt2860rs if you are going to be happy with low 200's, 2871 if you want a bit more.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
