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!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
