I might order one of these tomorow what yas think of price and size I don't care about lag

Do not buy that one.

If you are going down the route of a GT3076 then you will need a T3 flanged (not T25 SR20 type exhaust flange).

I would sit down and have a really good think about what you want out of a turbo before acting as you will save money in the long run by thinking it through.

I am not a fan of the turbine housings that bolt up to the stock dumps as I have never seen them allow the full potential of a 76mm compressor.

If you go down the path of a complete Garrett unit then you need to consider dump, oil/water lines, intake changes and you will need new injectors even with the correct HPIAB GT3076 with T3 flange there are still issues with oil/water line and intake changes.

If you're thinking of that exact one in the link, then don't do it. It's in a T25 flange and is made to fit SR engines.

Look for one that is in T3 flange :D

Edit: Dammit, beaten :)

i no its not that one i need but morrie at from that place says he has the one for rbs and the oil n water lines arnt much of a hassle. and im doin the exuast to suit so that doesnt matter.

i was gona get him to fit it so he can deal with it but now i have the motor striped down i was gona do it myself and just give it to him to tune.

i want to spend about $1600 to $1800max just on turbo.

if yas wana thro ya sugestions down go for it. just remember lag doesnt bother me, so must be in the 30s

Trying to pay mortgage on one wage at moment so budget isn't looking good for injectors.

Has anyone got sum of that metal paste stuff I can steal so I don't have to buy a $50 tin of it?

You won't need the afm if you don't change the injectors. Save the money for your turbo - total installation costs will be more with bits and pieces. Also I think fuel pump will cost more than $150 and afm will be $300.

Just do the turbo and fuel pump for now. What are you using for boost control?

    • That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 😉  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......
    • Wow. Did you call the car a Nissan Skyline?
    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
