i have a 3071 turbo that had been sitting in my garage. i sent it to gcg to get a rear housing put on as the current one developed a slight crack. the problem is that i'v been given a quote for close to 1300, does this sound normal or am i being overcharged because i can buy a new turbo for not much more.

you can grab a new rear housing, .73 size, from AVO turbo world, for $700

thats what is on the rear of my 3076 :sick:

Tangles

did you manage to get any power out of yours

I ended up pulling mine off and going to the .82 external gate because it didnt want to make power for me

Mine also had hairline cracks around the wastegate hole but GCG told me that's normal

its just sitting here in the carport so if you wanna buy one down the track let me know

heya

ATS adelaide turbo services suggest the combo should be good for 280rwkw give or take

that'd be on a manual rwd rb25det : auto awd would lose 20kw

with auto, mine is flowing 240rwkw nice and clean, with heaps more power in it - 260wkw auto awd is the goal

fixed the issue of my fuel cut to an extent - 6500rpm is now the gear change point aka limiter; unfortunately that leaves the 3076 in the meat of its power delivery

on the dyno at 6500 the graph-curve shows it'd hit 250rwkw at 7000rpm

but then again, auto full boost quick-changing at 6500rpm right in the meat of power delivery isnt that bad. also depends on boost level/settings

got a power run on sunday 8th dec on a all-wheel drive dyno, so will see how it goes on full boost

will update the auto performance thread accordingly.

:sick:

If you can send in the CHRA we can profile a .82 internally gated rear housing to suit it that bolt on to your stock manifold and dump for $500. This housing is capable of holding 22psi of boost on internal gate.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
