ok got some results today about my car and the new turbo compared to the one here that im selling

its probably bad news for me and good news for who ever buys this turbo off me

basiacly i wasted money changing from this turbo too my new one which is a garret 3071r a tad smaller

my reason for swapping was that i thought i could get same power out of it but come on boost earlier

ok ran the car up on the dyno its not completely tuned yet but boost is still coming on almost the same ive probably picked up a few revs but not enough for my liking.....

so too all you rb20 lover's this turbo is as good as you can get for somethin making 240 - 260rwkw

and 250 - 320rwkw for an rb25

also ran up a dyno for a rb20 with similar setup with a gt 28 rs turbo and it only comes on power about 500 rpm before mine we crossed the graphs and for the difference in power you would have to be stupid not to go for the big turbo

so now that i know this im happy with my 20 it had 40rwkw more than the gt28 and came on 500rpms later

so in conclusion i should have kept this turbo ahahahah what a waste of cash

but good news for the buyer

ok here is more good news for the buyer

i got my car back 2 days ago and ive got a few things to look forward too on the dyno the curve looks very similar to my old turbs

the mechanic said that he wanted to play with it a bit thats why it took so long to tune....

he found that i was using a 12psi spring in the turbosmart wastegate and that it was starting to open at the 12psi like it should....

well this is what was causing me to boost late.......... he hasnt got one yet but he is getting me a 17psi spring start of next year...

he blocked up the wastegate to try it out and it actually made 4.5psi more at 5000 than it did before so at 5000 it had around 13.5psi once the spring is changed it will have 18psi - pretty much full boost and 2000 rpm to spare mate i was so happy to hear that.

so i probably didnt need to spend all this money and probably should have kept my other turbo but at least now i know i cant get any more out of it unless its on the bottle or race fuel.

and now everyone here knows that a gt3040 and a 3071r are very similar all the way through the curve.

now ive been the ginnea pig but its all good

im in victoria / Narre Warren

no trade ive already got a turbo bolted up on mine

be quick guys i have a lot of people interested now the turbo will not dissappoint im even thinkin of keeping it for that price now just in case i blow my new one

it is an external gate

who ever buys it make sure to use a 17psi spring in the waste gate this is the reason i was hitting boost late i only had a 12 psi spring

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
