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.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
