I wonder how one of these 3071's would go on an RB20? Could it be a viable option or is just going to be lag city?

The 20 is a good motor, its not the lag house everyone talks it down to be IMHO. Yet I would probably think the 3071 will not suit it, being the GT30 turbine it will need some gasflow to bring up shaft speeds for good boost response.

Probably try a 2871 for a happier street turbo on the RB20 :rofl: or a TD05/06, it all depends on desired results.

  • 2 weeks later...

anyone no if garrett will be releasing these for the 2860-5?? im looking at buying a set for my gtr but if they goin to release a better version within the next few months ill just wait.

Oh also yeah as Deano and Ash said, im in the same boat waiting to see if they come out or not.

Prices for normal 5's will be interesting if an X wheel comes out...

yea thats the only reason i havnt really started hunting for -5. of the GTX wheels come out, the normal -5 will be worth nothing, and thats prob a good reason why garrett wont release them....

lol jezza im keen to see it

That's true, there heaps of places to get the norm -5s and i havnt brought a pair, but if the gtx version came out tomorrow I'd go buy a pair straight away. So your right there ash

No official statement... however they are not on the cards for GT28 frame at present in terms of imminent release.

Apparently it took 12-18 months for them to go from GTX4X down to the GTX3X frame.

So perhaps 12 months again.

IMO they will see heaps of sales in the GTX3X frame, so it might spur some more/new product.

Wait and see i guess.

ill keep asking some other people, see what happens.

Ggrrrrraaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh... :)

I want more response damnit. gtx2871r + e85 would be my setup IF the gtx28 ever comes out.. perfect opportunity to swap to e85 with a new turbo ;)

My gut feeling - they will. They did the GTX4X last year, and now the 3X frame

It'll just take a while to filter. Cant mass release a heaps of products @ once due to manufacturing and also the illusion of "progression" over 3-6 years when you had the design 18months in ;)

Yea, I was about to start saving for a new car as i'm a bit over the turbo lag on my R33 GTS-T with KKR 560 and wouldn't mind a newer car.... However, GTX3071 could be enough to change all that :thumbsup:

If i've already got injectors/front mount/z32/fuel pump/power fc/locked diff, do you think theres anything else i should invest in while getting a GTX3071, like a forward facing plenum or exhaust cam gears, a new manifold or poncams or anything? Just in a value-for-money reduce lag kinda way?

EDIT: This seems to be the only GTX3071 with T3 and Internal wastegate i can find. Do I just use the stock RB25 style dump pipe or is that a different 5 bolt design? Am I crazy choosing this over spending heaps more to go external gate?

gcg or mtq should both be able to get you a gtx3071 with any turbine housing you want

you cant use the standard dump, has to be custom

Value for money get the turbo with an internal gate .82 turbine housing, get an exhaust cam gear and get it retuned. You will need a line kit, intake and cooler pipping modded and a completely new dump pipe.

GCG have given me a rough price of $2200 for the GTX with rear housing. You can then get your mechanic to make you the dump/cooler/intake pipes and buy a RB/Garrett BB line kit from Kinugawa on ebay. The line kit is about $100 and I anticipate you will need to spend roughly 800 making the dump and other associated pipes. GCG also sell gates cam gears for something like $100 each and tuning will be up to your tuner.

if you really want to go the whole hog you should look to a 6boob style manifold and budget for another $2500ish.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
