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!

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
