Did you decide what turbo to replace the T300 with?

Myself and BHDave have both run T300's before and probably could have helped you out with specs, bit late now though! I'm actually selling mine at the moment, but it's a kit for an SR20 so not much help either. Was a good turbo though, especially for it's age. Has made 285rwkw's on my SR with more in it.

I got MTQ to do some homework for me, they found that a GTBB3071R has very similar sizes as you can see below. Space is an issue for my setup. The 3071 front cover is on a TO4E platform which has a pretty big Dia. Too big in fact to fit. My old T300 cover is on a smaller Dia TO4B platform and can be modified to fit the 3071. The other bonus is that the 3071 cover has only a 0.5 A/R and the T300 has a 0.6 A/R.

This is how they both started /ended life as Mr Garrett intended;

GTBB3071R, 53.1mm comp wheel,0.5 A/R, TO4E, 56.5, T86 turbine, 0.64A/R, 4 bolt ext gated.

T300, 52.3mm comp wheel,0.6 A/R, TO4B, 55.2, T78 turbine, 0.64A/R, 4 bolt ext gated.

I will end up with a modified version, some thing very much like this? i think

GTBB3071R, 53.1mm comp wheel,0.6 A/R, TO4B, 56.5, T86 turbine, 0.64A/R, 4 bolt ext gated.

Noddy,

I am currently using the GTBB3071R and have done for a few years now. With the 0.64 turbine hsg it runs out of breath from about 6200 rpm. I have been thinking about getting the 0.64 slightly modified instead of going all the way to the 0.83 hsg but i don't know. Will you still be running the std log style manifold?

With this turbo it has great bottom end and pick up but i really miss the top end rush of some other setups.

6200???? hope not. I was hoping with a slightly bigger tail it will help the top end a little. The T300 fell off at about 7100 on it's HKS cast manifold. I've had the crack repaired and faced up. Give it about 2 weeks and we should have it on the dyno.

Well maybe it does not completely fall off but the boost drops slightly and it does not feel as good at 6K and up compared 4-5K. It is still nice to drive maybe i am just more used to it now. Anyways you will love it i have attached the dyno sheet for ya. It is a std engine with HKS 256 264 cams.

I look fwd to getting the two cars out on the track mate.

Probably a good choice mate. In replacing mine, I also went with a 3071R but in twin scroll format with a .78 rear housing.

Will be interesting to see how the changes affect the performance of the 71 though.

0.78 twin scroll sounds a treat, that might help the old girl breath up top but not sacrifice too much down low. Who did you purchase that turbine hsg through Dane?

Sorry to Hi Jack ya thread Noddy.

I bought the turbo and housing off of a member on the forums. He's decided to go for a 3076 52 trim twin scroll unit and offered me his 71R and housing so I snapped it up. I was going to go for a BW Airwerks unit prior to this, but the Garrett is a proven unit in this application so I'm really looking forward to getting it on :D

Best place to get the housing would be ATP turbo in the US or GCG here if you were after one though. Don;t forget the manifold to go with it though!

Stuart: Was it much more $$$ to get the modification done to your 71R over the price fo a standard one?

Have been busy this evening, remaking a turbo manifold for the boss/minister for war and finance's race car. She has ditched her very cool twin turbo setup for a single, gtbb2830.

old set up on a dummy motor about 5 years ago. Has been a good thing but a pain to work on. FYI R32GTR hats on Garrett gt28 cartridges, 3SGTE. They would probably be a good upgrade for a GTR, might want a birthday first though.

I have re used the old manifold and cut it up to re model it. This has to have about the shortest runners possible. Hope it wotks ok. I still need to finish it off properly as you can probable tell, just needed to see if it was going to fit ok.

hey it's the noddy-mobile build thread! I have missed a lot of good stuff in this section.

i thought the old noddy-mobile went pretty good, it wasn't far off my 4wd cheater gtr at that Oran Park day last year.

If you are going to go faster I am in trouble for morgan park next year

Yeh dunc, I knew things were not looking too good when it was down about 70-80 rwhp on Johns dyno the day before Oran. When we got back there was 2 or 3 more events and the turbo got more whistley so it was def time to give it all a realy good look over. And look wher it has ended up.... in a road car.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
