Guys,

After being excited about my new turbo purchase...i am quite disappointed.

Would appreciate any advise.

In short, This is what i purchased as advertised. (from a supplier who ordered from another supplier i believe)

Garrett GT3071R RB25DET T3 Bolt-on Turbocharger 500hp, Dual Ball Bearing Kit - 0.82a/r

Horsepower: 500hp

Compressor Housing A/R -: 0.60a/r

Compressor Inlet -: 4"

Turbine Housing A/R -: 0.82a/r

Turbine Hsg. Attachments: Inlet: Standard 4-bolt T3 flange

Turbine Hsg. Attachments: Outlet: Nissan 6-Bolt

Oil Inlet - : Inverted Flare 7/16-24 thread

Oil Drain - : Standard 2-bolt T3 flange

Bearing Type: Dual Ball Bearing

Cooling: Water Cooled Centre

Wastegate: Integrated Wastegate

Includes:

1x Garrett GT3071R RB25DET Turbocharger, complete High Nickel Content Cast Iron Nissan Style Turbine Housing with Internal Wastegate and actuator.

Fitting Kit Includes: Oil Drain, Oil Lines, Water Lines, Turbo Gaskets, Spacer, Studs, Nuts.

Turbo was delivered direct to my tuner, who had spent approx 9 hours labor to install, and needed to purchase the following.

4x studs - apparently the ones provided were not long enough or universal instead of metric.

10m spacer as it was not included.

An earls adaptor for the water or oil line i believe. (Lines were provided with the kit)

2x turbo hoses and clamps

also something about re-aligning the compressor housing??? i think. did mention he is surprised they were not using jigs

Picked up my car today after not having it for 8 days or so.

car is making 243kw@tw on 14psi

I looked at the new turbo, and can see the following.

compressor housing .50 A/R

garret ID tag: GT2835 - 700382-003

researching the above, it is the cropped version?

So all up, i have paid for a product i was not delivered with, and spent many extra $ to make it bolt on.

PS. my tuner was not aware of the turbo being delivered, he only knew one was turning up and needed to be installed.

Anyone else had an experience like this and what have you done about it? or, what would you do in this case?

Hopefully it isnt the cropped version.The results seem good for the boost being run. IMO there is no advantage having the 4" intake as opposed to the 2.75". Pretty much all the other bits needed are common knowledge for fitment. How much was it?

def think its cropped from what i read.

$2460

thanks for the replies guys.

the numbers are confusing the hell out of me.

I am just concerned that i have not been provided with what i ordered/paid for.

so, my turbo is a .50 compressor, turbine 700382-003. and looking at the rear it has "sonic" written on it.

looking at the sonicperformance site, they state they have a .64 turbine housing.

and on the site from which i ordered it, the specs below differ.

Compressor Housing A/R -: 0.60a/r

Compressor Inlet -: 4"

Turbine Housing A/R -: 0.82a/r

Turbine Hsg. Attachments: Inlet: Standard 4-bolt T3 flange

Turbine Hsg. Attachments: Outlet: Nissan 6-Bolt

Oil Inlet - : Inverted Flare 7/16-24 thread

Oil Drain - : Standard 2-bolt T3 flange

Bearing Type: Dual Ball Bearing

Cooling: Water Cooled Centre

Wastegate: Integrated Wastegate

The GT3071 - 20 is the same as a HKS 2835

so you got the turbo you ordered. The power is good for that booet on that turbo IMO

What exactly are you not happy about?

he is not happy about the following...

he added Red Bull to his skyline...cost...$3.50...result...supersonic multi million dollar jet fighter.

he then tried a different turbo...cost...$2460...result...243RWKW to remove the skin off his custard.

Id be pissed too!!

Moral to the story...drink Red Bull and dont eat custard!

Gt3071 is basically the same as the hks spec Gt2835 so going by the id no. it seems to be right.

The rear however will be cropped to fit the Nissan style flange and its highly unlikely it would be a .82

The comp housing it supposed to be .50 a/r as well for the Gt3071, the Gt3076 however comes with the .60 a/r comp

That power looks good for 14psi tho....20psi should get u up to 270ish

They don't crop the turbine to fit the housing. They machine the housing to suit the turbo.

It will be all the same specs as the 3071-3 that the ID tag says. The turbine housing A/R is 0.73.

$2460 is spot on the money considering it didn't come with spacer, studs or silicon.

Who did you buy it from?

Keep in mind that the ID tag has nothing to do with housings. It only identifies the cartridge.

All the specs I said in the above posts are accurate. I sell these as a sonic dealer myself.

thanks again guys.

i am actually happy with the power and performance of the turbo...

below is the site

http://www.tweakit.net/shop/product_info.p...9ij7uter43vvdj6

didnt come with the silicone reducer etc... which i am fine with. but think it should at least state "misc parts may be required to fit"

spacer is listed, but wasnt supplied, cost me another $30 for part + delivery. then some labor to grind.

water line and oil line was supplied, but required an adapter for some reason, cost me an extra $30

studs were supplied, but didnt fit. cost me an extra $45

also required an elbow

and as mentioned, the tuner had to re-jig the alignment...or something like that.

so a few extra $ and hours in labor i had to fork out for.

would i be correct in saying that the site is incorrect? false advertisment

he is not happy about the following...

he added Red Bull to his skyline...cost...$3.50...result...supersonic multi million dollar jet fighter.

he then tried a different turbo...cost...$2460...result...243RWKW to remove the skin off his custard.

paul, just because you cant use e85 in your car doesn't mean you have to drink the rest of your stock

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
