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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
