If you have a look thru the forced induction section you will find many have boost creep problems with anything smaller than the .82 exhaust housing using the Gt3076R internal waste gate version.

You can buy the "real" gt3076R .82 IW in kit form for $3070 from GCG. Does not include the compressor inlet pipe.

I paided $1800 for the turbo. For all the extra bits need will be another $700-800

excuse my ignorance but from what i can see on GCG site, as you say you buy turbo then choose your exhuast housing and then buy all the flanges and lines ect......

Im guessing the models that get the boost creep are the "GCG built" hiflows? rather then the garret built turbo's?

Generally any Gt3076R IW with a turbine housing smaller than the .82 have had boost creep problems

The GCG kit is the garret built turbo and comes with new lines, dump pipe and manifold spacer and bolts. Just need to fab the front inlet pipe. GCG does not have the kit on their site.

Tweakit do the same kit for $2460 but does not include the dump. They are $325 in S/S or $225 in mild.

Gt3076r are sold without the rear housing for approx $1100-1300 and then you can had the rear IW garrett housing for $ rrp $780 or less. The ext WG housings are a bit cheaper.

Be careful, there are different types of the GT3076R. The "real" one is the 700382-12 or 700382-5012 with a CHRA 700177-7 and a .60ar compressor housing with 4 inch anti surge inlet.

If you are interested email or phone GCG. They used to list the highflows c/w specifications and prices. I gave them an RB25 turbo and they gave it back to me after about 3 day turnaround as a ball bearing steel wheeled highflow with all new parts for around $1850 and it went straight in with no fabrication needed. I had supplied it with a RB20 actuator (10psi against the stock 7psi) and have a jaycar boost controller. It boosts very quickly and holds 16psi no trouble. I am not an expert on turbos and all the numbers quoted by those with more experience mean little to me. I am very happy with my turbo but I am aware from others who have bought the 3076 (R?) that they produce even more power.

I use RB20 act on my R34 turbo now . So do you know that actual specs on the GCG hiflow? the turbo you sent away for hiflowing did it come back as a 3076R on just a re-cored and steel wheeled RB25 turbo.

I will email GCG to find out some more info too.

Here is the reply from GCG about my highflow:

"1) We use the factory bearing housing and modify it, we do not use a Garrett "cartridge" as such to replace the internals.

2) Exhaust wheel = Stage 3 T3

3) Compressor wheel = T04E

4) A/R is same as the factory housings that come on the vehicle from Nissan, we do not modify, or touch any of the external housings on this unit.

As we are the only people who can build these units in ball bearing, we don't like to give away too much detail, i'm sure you can understand.

Regards,

Michael Ramsay

Internal Sales "

All I can add is that they were rated at 450hp. I am up to about 360hp and I am getting 550 injectors and a Z32 AFM and then I will turn up the boost and get a tune and see what it does then. The GCG highflow boosts hard from the mid 2000 and can reach 16psi (my intended maximum) by 3000rpm. I think that for the price (under $2000) they are ideal for auto Stageas for people who don't want to rebuild the engine with forged rods, pistons etc and because they slot back in wihout need for new manifolds, wastegates, water or oil lines and for their stock appearance.

Congrats.

What is funny is Bob who was keen on the GCG highflow now runs a 3540...

GCG highflow was great - got 245awkw and probably could have made 260 but now installing an RB30 (long and boring delays ...) and looking for better than 300awkw with poss more later!

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
