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.

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
