Make sure you get a Genuine Garrett "-IW" internal gate rear housing - Not some cocked up/ported piece of shit.

That is where the boost control problems come from.

If it is not a 100% .63 Garrett -IW housing - do NOT buy it no matter what you are told.

^^^ Necessary input. Lol. Nothing wrong with internal gate for those who like consistency.

Another turbo option to go for:

GT2871R. It's a garrett, but more closely related to an HKS. Bit small, but a lot quicker response. most that you'll find is .60 A/R compressor housing, but turbotech over here has one for about 1800 i think it was with a .76 somehow.

I'll keep a close eye on this thread. i'll be doing similar things with my engine.

Can't buy PFCs new anymore can you? Like, from a wholesaler? What'd be the other way to go? I'm sorry to succumb to shameless advertisement, but if haltech can produce enough cash to buy a R35GT-R as a promo car, they're obviously doing something right.

You seem to want a low cost direct bolt on option

What i have learnt there is nothing that is 100% bolt on when it comes to turbo's, will always need some custom work. Had to make custom dump+front pipes along with a bunch of other stuff. Always have an extra 1-2 grand on top of what you expect it to be.

I would go the nismo 740cc injectors as the price different between them and the 555cc is under $100 for the set.

Going for a GT3071 GT3076 etc with the Garrett turbine housing will require all those extra mods from oil & water lines, new dump, intake mods, heat shielding and the costs to get up when you go this way.

GCG hiflow bolts straight back on.

Hypergear has been working hard on making some of their turbos bolt on applications (with minor oil or water line mods?!)

HKS GT-RS bolts back on but with braided lines.

HKS GT2835ProS has a separate dump to the front pipe which may be an issue if you already have a 3" dump/front but otherwise the kit comes with all you need to bolt back on.

Have a look at precision turbo, in the US. They have plain and bb cores, not water cooled, v-band dump, billet comp wheels, 3inch or 4 inch inlet etc good pricing too.

I just bought a PTB5557... I think they're around 875is USD retail.

You'd need a custom oil line ($40), custom dump with a v band flange ( v-band flange and 2 mandrel bends, like $100 tops), 2" 90 degree silicone elbow ($40), 38mm external w/g ($240) and stock manifold mods ($150 odd).

Just another option...

LOL and who told you they don't spike boost? My old supra had a GT3582R Turbo with the twin flappers on the back. spikes boost like f*ken spastic run 22psi with wastegate fully lose and no dump. Had to take it back to MTQs to machine out wastegate port and fit a bigger flappers. They are just piece of casted steel housing machined to shape like any one elses Nothing special at all and certainly do not help on boost control.

Was the topic at hand - the GT35?

No. It is a 3071 much different.

So keep your rather poor example, and lack of useful input, out of this topic.

No, just saying you are inputting information that you don't even know the nature of. reading some the rubbish you wrote makes me puke, and mislead other members.

I know your are the king of worriers at this keyboard world. This is just my 2cents

You are talking about a 700hp turbo & flow out the back, vs a 450-500hp turbo and the flow

They are not the same, and very different.

A Garrett IW rear end will easily flow a 450hp turbo's worth of air.

The GT35 IW is a different story, always has been a sticking point.

So - Sorry, but once again i must point out you are factually wrong about the GT3071 having problems with a IW rear.

Just because you had issues with a GT35, has little to no bearing on a much smaller turbo

A "GT2835R" IS a GT3071R , same family of turbine , same family compressor wheels .

The only reason HKS get this cartridge to work better than Garrett does is because they use GT30 based turbine housings in the six cylinder versions . If Garrett profiled their GT30 housings to suit the cropped GT30 turbine they would have a very useful unit .

Probably worth doing a search and checking out the experiences BHDave had with boost creep on a 3071 with 0.63 IW Garrett housing.

I agree with Wolverine's comments about the product Hypergear are putting out there. There are a few options that seem like they're close to a bolt-up, and at the price point well worth a go. Following the Hypergear thread there seems to be quite a few satisfied owners and reasonably serious efforts to provide after sales support. It'd be interesting to inspect the 0.63 housing they use for the 3071 spec, and to know exactly what cartridge is used ie. if it has the full size 60mm or cropped 56.5mm turbine rotor.

GT-RS would also be a tidy option at the targeted power/performance level if you could source something for a reasonable price.

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

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
