Hey guys

as some of you may know, my old 3071R (which had been bought used) had recently let go and I was shopping around for another turbo. Thought about getting a 3076R as I wanted to hit my power goal of 275rwkw... but decided to stick with a 3071 to avoid any headaches...

So placed an order for a new 3071R with GCG and it showed up a few days later... I opened it and instantly thought that it did not look exactly like my old turbo... couldnt put my finger on it but I knew it wasnt the same..

so gave it to Yauvuz at unigroup to whack it in and a few hours later I get a call confirming what I had thought... The housings on the new turbo were different to the old 3071R I had fitted... the old turbo had a front housing with a much bigger intake (diameter wise) which suited my custom intake pipe and the new turbo had a different rear housing.... GCG rekon this new rear housing is 'original' Garrett and much more efficient...

So I chucked a sicky from work to get it all sorted... took it back to GCG to get the front housing off the old turbo... got it machined, polished n all cleaned up and it was fitted to the new turbo... then it turned out that the flange on the dump pipe needed to be changed to suit the new rear housing... so bought a flange too and gave it all back to Yauvuz on friday... Plan was to weld the new flange onto the dump pipe and chuck the new turbo in

So not having heard anything I gave em a buzz around 6 today and asked em how it was all going... Yauvuz said everything had been put in and said he was about to chuck it on the dyno...

So I get a call about an hour later from him... he said that the turbo made 262rwkw with the new custom dump pipe and had potential for more... This surprised me so much as my old 3071R barely made 257rwkw... so I told Yauvuz not to worry bout the extra cash and tune her for what the new turbo could give...

And I cannot believe the results..

291RWKW from a GT3071R... I have full boost by 4000RPM haha... I love it... Yauvuz did inform me that the 291rwkw run was a freak run... but its still happily putting out 285rwkw all the time...

I coudnt believe it... but then I drove the car... and Holy Shit... that extra 35rwkw makes a huge difference!

I had no idea these turbos were capable of that sorta power... I was told their limit was 270kw tops...

and this tune isnt even that aggressive either... Yauvuz said I can thrash around all day and it should all hold...

So yeh... just wanted to share... so happy with the result... was intending on selling the car but prob gonna keep it now... :down:

yeh will scan the dyno sheet tomorrow...

not too sure bout the size of the housing actually... will have to look into that one...

the turbo isnt the standard T25 3071 GCG advertise on their website... its T3 based... internally gated

ive had a few SR's pull that kind of number (20 psi) so yeah they definately are capable turbo's and congrats on the results, on an sr they are a little laggier than the gt2871 but just make sooo much more top end.

I'd like to have seen a pic of the back of that turbo . It sounds like your original turbo had one of those aftermarket turbine housings on it that suited the RB's original dump pipe flange .

Do you have the ID tag details of the new or old turbo ?

Good result , cheers A .

yr 3076 has full boost before 4000RPM? that wud b pretty nuts

Cool, cheers for the pic - as DP said, be interesting to see the hotside...

Yeah mine definitely has full boost before 4000rpm, I am really hoping to get it on the dyno soon and get a proper tune in so I can provide a sensible power and boost curve for it.

I can take a pic and get you details of the old Turbo... Still have that lying around...

I've got the item number of the new turbo... if you quote that to GCG, im sure u'd be able to get all the info your after

will put up the details after work

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
