Help Me Choose My Turbo Kit

[sickr33]

as above cant choose between a stock looking gt3071R internal gate

or gt3040R with 44mm gate and screamer low mount

i want about 380hp street tune

not too much lag

any thoughts or past experiences

yes i searched lots of info on the gt3071R

but what about a comparison

cheers

380hp or 380rwhp?

380hp = 3071 no question.

[NYTSKY]

GT3071= 450hp turbo

GT3040= 600hp turbo

Thats the difference,

If you are only after 380hp go the GT3071,there is no point getting the GT3040 as the lag vs power goal will just annoy you.

ditch them both and get a 3037

oh, and throw the screamer in the bin, They are stupid.

and very very illegal lol

Screamer pipes are only stupid when you get caught

[The Mafia]

actually, most setups with noisy exhausts, screamers, and bov's are just a big pain in the ass.

Do you know how many young dickheads have done burnouts, made heaps of noise, crashed, etc, and now, I can't even drive mine around the corner at 20kmph without some cop pulling me over and defecting me with shit like "intercooler pipe through the inner guard" or "exhaust hangs too low (when it doesn't)

If you put the screamer on, I hope you get defected and taken off the road, and lose your license.

There are too many idiots doing illegal shit, causing such drama for people that just want to own a fast car - legally.

There is nothing illegal about my car, I race it at drag meets, and drive very sedately on the street, yet I am harassed because of young dickheads doing stupid illegal shit thinking its great, giving skylines one big f**k off of a bad name.

My screamer/dump setup is flanged, so its plumbed back for the street and open for the drags/track.

thats fine then.

Just pissed about getting harrased for owning a skyline because of stupid shit others are doing.

You drive yours?

A real skyline owner has it on stands in the garage

I know what you mean Jono. A guy owning a T-Bucket can have exposed wheels and engine,no bumpers,110DB exhaust and side pipes though he is called an enthusiast and isnt looked at twice by the police.

But if you are an enthusiast with a skyline.....

Sorry for the hijack

[tridentt150v]

It helped a lot when they passed the law re turbo's and 'P' platers...........

I'm with Mafia, 3037/3076/30r and plumbed back. If you go the screamer you'll won't be able to afford any more mods, you'll be to busy paying off your fines.

And if you put it on stands, drain the oil out, that way it doesn't leak [i even took those pesky pistons and crank out, it makes it much lighter to jack up on the stands].

[foney]

the lad just wants to know what the best setup for his car would be, didnt need everyone elses bullshit input about being illigal.. Givve the guy a break..Have a lookk where the guys llves before start gobbin off about young skyline owners give others a bad name. He's most likely older then you anyway...

gt3040R with 44mm gate and screamer low mount, do it up....

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

i'd go a 3071 and an edxhaust cam gear for response... you'll get get like 350-380rwhp but have more response x 11ty

and on the subject of the t-bucket... 100% agree there... those things break about 8 million laws but NEVER get hastled

[sickr33]

thanks for all your input guys but still not sure what to go with because as said the gt3040R setup has alot more potential if i rebuild it

for the record its a daily driven car and i turn 19 in feb

must set the record straight love my car and not all people my age are "dickheads"

getting back on subject

what would be the max power and response out of the gt3071R

and what would GT3040 max power be if i rebuilt it in 6 months or so?

looking at 380 up to 400 hp@wheels!

Is there any particilar reason you picked those two turbos? I would go a 3076 .82. Plenty of response and enough flow to blow a stock motor if need be. Can make a drivable 300rwkw which is enough to have it spinning at any legal speed

[sickr33]

i chose the gt3071r because it looks stock, goes hard, and is bolt up (no custom shit takes time and money)

and the GT3040r because there i a decent setup in the fore sale section.

i like the stock look and the ease of the gt3071R but i love the sound of gate!!!!

just means its alot more illegal

[wolverine]

the GT3071 that you are talking about in this case sounds like it has been shoehorned into a nissan turbine housing.

the geniune whole garrett item needs oil and water lines just like the GT3040 plus new dump pipe and new intake.

3071 for sure

[sickr33]

correct me if im wrong but i was under the impreshion the exhaust housing was bolt on with a spacer.

and yes you buy kits with the water/oil lines and intercooler piping mod.

[wolverine]

the turbine housing of the GT3071 GT3040 and of course nissan housings will bolt up to the manifold (+/- spacer as needed for garrett turbos).

the factory dump pipe will only fit a nissan housing it won't fit a garrett GT30 turbine housing.

the only true "bolt on" is a hiflow of the standard turbo eg. GCG hiflow. the factory oil and water lines obviously go back on and so does the intake and dump.

HKS GT-RS comes in kit form with all oil and water lines but bolts up in the standard spot with the factory dump pipe. this is the next closest thing to "bolt on". (ps. both GCG and HKS GT-RS will meet your power target with the best response)

every thing else (to the best of my knowledge) has varying levels of modification required to get them working.

ie. GT3040 will probably need the engine mount to be machined for clearance.
