Hi Guys,

So has anyone had any experience with the new (I presume) GCG turbo for the RB25?

GCG code = XTR-GTST-GT3071R

specs are based on cropped turbine garret 3071 in a 0.7 rear housing that bolts up to standard dump.

XTRGTST-GT3071R 700177

front = 71.0mm 56 0.50

rear = 56.5mm 84 0.70 Int-Wastegated

My fears that this turbo would boost creep like the 3071 with the 0.64 rear housing?

Purpose would be for a stock RB25 running 0.9 to 1.0bar. Goal is to achieve ~ 230rwkw with wide power band.

Would the 0.7 rear housing be large enough to allow this flow without boost creep or being too sensitive to throttle ?

On another note what is the A/R of the stock R33 rear housing?

i just enquired about this turbo. they dont do it anymore. this is GCG's response.

We don't do that turbocharger anymore as we found the GTS-T style exhaust housing was too restricting when pushing over 15psi of boost. We use a genuine Garrett exhaust housing and supply a dump pipe with the kit.

yes i did lol

Total price on this kit is $3070.00 Inc GST. This uncludes:

-GT3071R Turbocharger (450hp)

-20mm Spacer Plate

-Gaskets

-Studs & Nuts

-Silicon Elbow 2" to 2.5" 90 Degree

-Oil & Water line kit

-Stainless Split Dump Pipe to suit factory or aftermarket front pipe.

The ONLY thing you need to do after fitment of this kit is make an air inlet pipe.

LOL I rang them about the same thing today, 3071 or 3076 for $3070 complete kit(except for intake pipe)

For your aim get hypergear or someone to put a GT2871 52trim CHRA into an r34(OP6) housing! around 1550 bolt on

$3070 is a bit rich.

I'd really like a 3071 with 0.82 internal gate rear. I'm thinking that 230rwkw would be really pushing a 2871.

Once you factor in a spacer, dump pipe and so on, its actually pretty decent pricing and a true bolt on.

1500 for a hyper gear (if its bush bearing) vs 2100 (ball bearing) - no braining where to spend the $$$

1500 for a BB 2871 52 trim AKA GTRS SPEC, not the hypergear core, a garrett core... which should do 230 easy

hypergear spec starts at 800

simonr32 ran one with very good results.

There were slight creep issues which were resolved by opening up the port slightly (retaining the same flap from memory) and possibly changing the dump. he made somewhere in the 280rwkw range.

Overall they are a good unit, same cart as the hks 2835 proS.

If you are going the uncropped turbine 3071 and want to retain IW then .82. Don't .63 it.

yeah when GCG did those they were almost identical to a 2835...

MTQ engine systems can hook ya up and fit a larger gate aswell. i have no boost control issues with a .82

Ive left it in ATS's hands to build my garrett gt30 using a large 6bolt nissan housing (modified op6 I think) and front 45v3 housing, highly modified plus longer snout

they rate it at 270rwkw and stated several times on different days, different employees, that it had FAR less lag than the GCG equivalent highflow turbo.

will post specs and details when I get the GT30 next week with new lines.

Yeah I've pretty much settled on 2871 based highflow in OP6 housing. Now I'm looking around for an OP6 housing - it's taking some looking that's for sure.

A mate had 2 of these about 18months ago....sold both.

i just bought one of these off CRD

* Garrett GT3071R with 70mm inlet and 0.64 A/R turbine housing (genuine Garrett housings)

* T2 to T3 flange adapter flange / turbo spacer

* Gasket kit

* T3 gasket

* Stud kit turbine inlet

* Stud kit turbine outlet

* Oil drain tube and gasket

* Oil drain hose

* Hose clamps

* Oil inlet fitting

* Copper washers

* Actuator bracket

* 12 psi Actuator

* Oil lines

* Water lines

* Water line adapter fitting

* High temp ceramic coated twin outlet dump / engine pipe suit Garrett turbine housing

TOTAL KIT PRICE $2470.00

and the silicone elbow for another $100. its a modified gt3071r with all the genuine garret housings, CRD have tinkered with the housing sizes and they say have found the best combo for an rb25det! lose practically no response and gain a shitload of power! iv ordered one and should be here within the week!

I have the 3071 with .82 housing and have maxed out the compressor at 264rwkw. Sure, there may be a couple of kilo watts in there still but that's pretty much all you'll get. The modified RB25 turbos are vastly overated and I only wish I could have all my money back over the three years I spent trying to get the 250-270 kws everybody said they are good for. They are crap. Not just me either as I have spoken to others that failed to hit more than 220-230.

Daniel I hate to say it but I think your going to be so disappointed in that turbo as it is not much different to the standard turbo. Existance, your on the right track but you will realise that there may be issues with boost control with the .64 housing. If you can get them to open up the wastegate and install a bigger flap. That turbo should be ok for 260 but the turbine housing is the limiting factor. With the bigger wastegate it will flow more exhaust and be fully capable of maximum compressor flow.

really? how can the smaller housing cause boost creep? :blush: i did so much reading before i paid for it and didnt find anyone with this problem.

the guys from crd said they had done alot of testing and fiddling etc. surely they would have noticed something as serious as boost creep?

iv got all the supporting mods to hit 250rwkw, that is my goal for 16psi and ill be happy ;)

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
