with a standard rb25 head, external gate

what is the max boost it should run?

what revs can I expect full boost?

about what power?

the workshop is recommending against another china turbo against my better judgement....

On a 2.5ltr i ran 17psi 270-280rwkw and it was on by 4000-4200rpm.

370rwkw on jungle juice @ 24psi... lots of room to move.

18-20psi with a 3ltr you should see ~330rwkw on PULP without a drama.

You'd take a rough guess it'll be on nicely around 3300-3500rpm with a 3ltr.

Lets see your china turbo do that you tightass accountant :thumbsup:

ive got a cheap china turbo on ny 30 atm (TO4e with a 0.62? rear) make 14psi by 2000 but then drops down to 10 as its physically chocking the exhaust. still makes 230rwkw at 10psi though.

im getting a GT35r for it now :thumbsup:

yeah china t04e is what I am running now. 260awkw @18psi. full boost at 2000. external gate, it holds boost perfectly all the way.

they break a lot which doesn't worry me...but the mechanic is trying to talk me into something more expensive.

hmmm. sounds like you done the same thing for the same reasone i have. its weird that urs is flowing fine, as my tuner had said boost issues with mine (using the ViPEC for EBC). My tuner is also the one pushing for a Garrett etc

conspiracy???

try for a 3071?

a 3076 is seeing positive boost at 2000, so the 3071 should be better suited to your needs.

spend the money duncan by the time you replace your china turbos once a year you might as well have just bought a decent one :thumbsup:

pfft, 300 bucks and 30 min work. thats like 7 years worth :thumbsup:

yeah that's how the maths looks to me too....but I did commit to looking into something else. Strangely the turbo importer does not think they have to warrant the turbo when it fails ;)

Hi Duncan

I have one on the R33. You are welcome to try it out.

thanks mate....might do...standard capacity, head and cams right?

Get a GTT highflowed by Gcg that should do it.

I'll check out 3071 and hi flows I guess, maybe gtrs. I was assuming the hi flows and gtrs would be a little small on a 3l even for response, maybe not.

I wouldnt use a high flowed GTT turbo by GCG as the main benefit is the standard exterior for legal reasons. Sure its a reasonable turbo but for the cost of over $2k you can get a much better turbo.

I would be careful that you dont completely strangle the engine with a restrictive turbo, I wouldnt go any smaller than a 3071 on a 30. How bout a 3071 with 0.63 housing? That would be ridiculously responsive.

Standard RB25 cams etc (but HKS cast manifold). It would give you an idea of how it delivers power. Obviously the extra cubes is offset by the extra weight of the stagea so I would be a fairly close comparison.

I'll pm my number.

are you using a standard manifold??(exhaust) . i got a cheapy kkr 560 but was a rip off of one. im using an external gate (progate 45 mm on my 30)because the original one is opening at 20 psi. garret gt30/40's are now known as gt3082 .

Its got a china stainless zorst manifold and china front facing plenum as well.

From looking further there must be at least 2 or maybe 3 different turbos called 3040 because people mention .63 all the way to 1.02, and peak power ranges from 270 to 330. If I go one of these I'll make sure its the smallest one.

still looking into another china turbo too.

    • 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"
