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?

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

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

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
