First of all - what's ".73"? Is it a reference to HKS housing or something?

Second - thought are that we should wait for real-world results. As of now this turbo does not seem to justify the price difference between it and conventional 3071. On the other hand price difference is not that big, 1392 USD for GTX3071 + housing that you can buy everywhere vs. 1448 USD for GT3071 [data taken from ATPTurbo site].

Personally I think (at this stage I have no real world data, so I can only assume) GTX3071 is the best of all medium-frame GTX turbos currently available and is not worse than GT3076. E.g. compressor requires less revs to reach similar airflow to 76mm GT compressor , and in general seems to spend shaft power more efficiently. The biggest concern of course is that GT3076 and RB25 combo is tried and proven many times, as is GT3071, whereas GTX turbos have yet to prove themselves.

Are you sure? I'm not questioning your experience with GT3076, but some results I've seen for 3071's so far, particularly with .63 housings, look awesome in that they have factory-like boost threshold with 1.5 or more times power and make more torque everywhere, which I think is the key to a nice and fun street setup The same definitely can not be said about GT3076.

.73 is the exhaust housing. It's a custom housing AVO can do.

I'm starting to think BW intentionally uglied up their turbos to scare off fanboys.

It just looks untidy...

Possible fitment issues to. The wastegate actuator is hanging in the breeze a bit.

Needs a billet blow off valve cover too :ph34r:

Who gives a toss how it looks if it meets the performace criteria. I hope they wax garretts arse to the point where garrett actually starts doing some real r&d and giving customers something better than 3rd rate service and dated designs.

Well, just like GTX Garretts, EFRs still have to prove they are as good as BW advertises them to be.

I wodner if 7670 can be bolted to the factory RB25 manifold. Good prices though - GTX3076 costs 1400 + IW housing 350 bucks , so it's 1750. EFR7670 can be bought for ~1850-1900 with 0.83 T3 flanged hsg, and this price includes boost control solenoid and antisurge valve. :thumbsup:

Bit it really should have T4 twinscroll IW housing, so 1950 for turbo + 1000 for suitable manifold. I need to allocate some money on this...

I think it's great. Stops all the ricers from buying them (ppl who generally don't have the proper supporting mods and give bad names for turbos by posting dyno graphs). I know ppl who refuse to consider one due to the looks of the turbo. Silly people!

Yet those people will happily what a "nice" looking turbo on the side of an RB25 with badly scractched cam covers with no coil cover and wires running everywhere.

GTS-R style low mount manifold looks better than any turbo anyway

Same, hence the comment. Though Noel took offence :)

Unless something even better comes out i will almost certainly be getting an EFR turbo next. Thinking about a high revving rb20 32gtst with a 7470 for some stupid reason these days....low mount of course to hide the elephant man looks of the comp cover

There's an EFR thread with some results in it scott

There should be results in the next day or so of an STI which first had a .82a/r GT3076R, then replaced it with a .82a/r GTX3076R, and now afaik has a .83 EFR7670 going on it :)

Should be VERY interesting to compare!

Alot of good info on nasioc forums already.

Any more real world results on these turbos?

+1 for in particular on a rb25 with a 3076 compared to a gtx3076 really need to see if there are benifets after talking about them for a while.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
