Can anyone recommend a Garrett turbo which will bolt on to my standard exhaust manifold. i currently have an xforce 1 piece dump pipe down to cat in 3 inch stainless steel. this will need to match up to back of turbo. Im currently running standard turbo.

Im looking for a garrett which will give me 260 to 280kw at wheels with great response and minimal effort to install.

Does garrett have a bolton replacement which can give me some good power.

i have all the supporting hardware, just need turbo

Thanks guys

unfortunately it won't bolt up to the dump and it will require oil and water lines and intake mods.

then again I am sure a search of the gazillion threads on this will give you are the information you will ever need.

I will have a look for info on GT3071r

thanks guys

Do you think this garrett item is better than the hypergear hiflow turbos?

I have spoken to fred from Turbologic in Wollongong and he recommends buying a new garrett turbo off the shelf rather than spending money to high flow my stock.

After a hiflow, the only true bolt on turbo's are the HKS line, they are more expensive but they are a complete kit. I'd look at the GTRS and the 2853 pro S for that power range. As Wolverine says, the Garrett are not bolt on, they require new dump and oil/water lines.

I believe the hypergears are good functional turbo's. The main diffs are in the country of manufacture and I know the Garrett is ball bearing whereas I think the hypergear are plain bearing, but others can correct me if I'm wrong.

After a hiflow, the only true bolt on turbo's are the HKS line

So do A'PEXi (IHI) I had an AX53B70 which I saw was up for sale on these forums again recently... they are also in the same power range

Have a look at the middle of the page, dump pipe is a bolt on but you will need oil and water lines which they also sell which will make it a straight bolt on.

gt3071r kit, comes with everything including dump from GCG, and unlike the other supliers it is clocked ready to bolt on.... which means no custom actuator braket etc...

Anyone reading this topic want to also share their experiences on the "bolt on kits"?

as above, i noted that i purchased a Garret 3071R kit.

got it from a shop in sydney who i think may have ordered it from SA (I could be wrong)

according to my tuner the kit was incorrect with parts missing.

The spacer was not included. cost me an extra $30 organise one locally.

No elbow for the comp housing, not sure if this was to be included though.

studs provided were also imperial, not metric.

also something with either the water or oil line not being the correct size or length.

anyone else know or come across these issues?

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
