a 0.73 a/r rear housing in standard 6-bolt skyline pattern is also available - Ive got one on my gt3076r highflow

.... custom ported stock nissan compressor cover, garret gt3076r-iw dual ball bearing chra #700177-5015, AVO 0.73 skyline rear exhaust housing

Is the kkr water and oil cooled, or oil cooled only? Is journal bearing. If water AND oil cooled probably similar to the old Slide Performance highflows, may last a few years.

A garret chra core with skyline housings ported to suit (highflowed) would be the best solution IMHO, ie a GT2860, GT2871 or GT3071. Perhaps search for a used HKS 2530 turbo - sounds like this is the one you want.

awesome response, around 220awkw at 1bar, oil and water cooled, bolt on.

Ive got a HKS 14 PSI heavy duty adjustable actuator for sale if you'd like it for a hundrey. I upgraded to a garret 18psi actuator for my GT3076r.

Im using the gt3076r as I like the mid-range to topend power use, and yes in the hills I always see 5500rpm! in 4th gear at 200kmph its "idling" at around 3200rpm - need to hit up the goolwa airstrip for a proper run I reckon!

Down low isnt too laggy as my cams sort of compensate. Feels like a 3.0litre

brendan - mate what are you using your 3076R with a 0.73 rear housing on???? RB25??? if so what boost your running and what power are you making??? thanks man

RB25det, low boost 1.05bar and high boost 1.25bar, makes 335rwhp / 250rwkw at 17psi dropping to 16psi in 3rd gear auto, rwd (front driveshaft & fuse pulled)

With a better ECU there would be more in it, around 260-ish.

With a good strong bottom end build she'd be maxing at around 280rwkw

I wouldnt bother with the .73, Ive had the AVO one, it had a better midrange but not much to offer up top, still held in too much heat, Hks do a .68 and IMO does a much better job. (just ask Lee RB25DETS2)

Bang for buck a .86 garret is hard to beat, anything smaller just bottles the heat in. On 98 it's pointless running higher than 17-18 psi, so at that sort of boost roughly 260-270 would be good reliable figure.

(wasnt me) just put 3076 bolt on kit on his 34 neo from gcg, .8 rear, dump, llines etc came badged as a 3037! he's happy especially since I tuned the sucker on E85 and 24 psi !!!

He's taking it to Willall for a power run tomorrow at 2pm should go and have a gander...

and with the normal highflow... my actuator will shag out at around 13 14 psi correct? so i need a hks 15 psi actuator ?? yes?

this will mean i wont b able to run a lower psi for day to day driving is this correct? what are my options here? just not put the shoe in as hard?

i hear rb20s are good to about 15? (i really want to run like 14 15 highboost, and low boost at like 6 7 8 or so...)

also spoke to the dude on the phone regarding this and he said something about my compresser controller?? (wtfs this) needing a freshen up?

I got a gcg turb with the same number on the core, but gcg tag says gt3071r...they tell me it has a .71 rear and a 3076 core......im a tad confused now...Is this what your running

Edited by Arthur T3

Using standard turbine housing and factory actuator you will experience a boost drop to 15psi at 7000RPMs. With wastegate controller and a high pressure actuator you can hold it on what ever psi you want to 7000RPMs.

damo i ment rb20 actuator :P

so... normal highflow... 15psi hks or so actuator... and set the profec b spec 2... set and forget ..?? :D

***will a garret 3071r actuator be ok to use?***ive also heard of people putting a thread on there stock actuator rod... this still doesnt change the boost it can handle does it?? (springs not being touched??)

0.86 rear housing for me is a bit too laggy......i prefer a good mid range with the top end of roughly 260-280rwkw......

so Lee what turbo are you exactly running mate????? and on 98 RON fuel what sort of power were you making????

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
