Lets put it a more logical way - why do you want to go with the Avo .73a/r housing when there is a housing option which is proven to get the most out of the GT3076R which comes with the turbo? For all I can tell you want to do it just because, because there is no logical reason I can think of. The turbo comes with the Garrett housing, its easy to get a dump pipe made up for it, and most importantly you KNOW its going to work.

Not saying the Avo housing won't - but why take the more difficult and expensive option when there is a known quantity? It doesn't make sense to me.

Thank you for you putting it in a more logical way and not just speaking fir the hell of it.

I was aiming at .73 in an attempt to get a balance between the more responsive .63 and higher flowing .82. Also keep my dump pipe.

If you were thinking of a GT3076 and wanted something in between .06 and 0.8 for a mix of response and power, would a 3071 in a 0.8 housing fit the bill? Pretty sure there were dyno results recently posted that had 270kw and really good response?

Is this the Gtx series ur referring to? Cos yeh I know that's another option. May be leading that way....

OK. For what its worth, I feel the difference (having had both) between a .63 and .82 is minimal - I run a .82 and don't feel robbed of down low, it has a very nice power delivery. If you are really that worried about a bit of a mix, just get an HKS GT3037 with .68 housing.

You can't directly compare a 0.73 non-native housing to a garrett housing. It is based on a ratio and it won't be same when you compare housings.

Yeah look I think I'm leaning towards. Gtx3071 with .82. I appreciate your advice regarding 63 and 82.

Have ordered gtx3071 .82.

Currently running :

Link G4 ecu ( No AFM)

Front mount

Turbo back 3" stainless zorst

Gizzmo IBC boost controller.

Wallbro 550hp fuel pump

Custom fabricated airbox.

Valeo sports clutch (expecting that to go soon after turbo installed)

191.4 rwkw at 13psi

Getting:

Gtx3071 .82

Fuel rail

Injectors (ready for e85 but not using yet)

Aiming for about 260rwkw.

Sounds like a defect/EPA waiting to happen mate, really hope you don't get pulled over...

You should make 300rwkw on PULP though either way. 260 is rather conservative and a normal GT3071 will do that.

Awesome - looking forward to seeing how that goes, it is definitely what I was sold on until I saw the first results of the GTX mid frame turbos. Good luck, could be interesting :)

I finally just took delivery of my new GTX3071R!!! Here are some pics up against what it is replacing.

If the GTX wheels work like their maps show then mated to a 0.82 turbine housing should be the right combo for and RB25.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
