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.

    • 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
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
