specs

GT3071R garrett ball bearing turbo

comp housing

0.50a/r

inducer wheel diameter 53.1mm

exducer wheel diameter 71.0mm

trim 56

exhaust housing

0.64 a/r (mod 21u)

turbine wheel diameter 56.5mm

trim 84

Was told and I thought should make 260...but it isnt, thinking it would be better suited to a rb20

So what is it making - somewhere around 230-235?

Looks like you've got a milled (high flowed) OEM turbine housing. If so I think you'll find they're somewhat smaller than 0.63, but there is no marking on them to indicate. Might not be a good match with the rotor, can lead to a bit of choking and below expected outputs.

You might do well to consult with a turbo manufacturer/remanufacturer about housings - perhaps Hypergear can help out if that is the culprit.

yeah its making a solid 240..

and spoke to hypergear a while back who straight up recomended a bigger rear housing..

But for that amount of trouble Id consider just getting a better turbo..

might just run some e85 see what happens...I got no problems with the power ,thought it would be a tad more responsive for what it is really. And its kind of odd having a turbo that comes onto boost but doesnt really make alot more power than it did b4..It pulls hard but there's not that boost kick .Not to worry..I should stop complaining and just be happy its running again. ;)

its very tempting, I dont think there is any point trying to get anything more out of this one pretty much maxed out already..

And i could probably get the same power from a 2871 with far better response

I have a bad habit of jumping in the deep end, i did plenty of research after i bought it.. ;)

It helps to know what characteristics you want before you start. Some combinations are deceptively fast ie. cover ground quickly and don't feel it. Despite the power number, it might deliver the goods if you can directly compare with something else.

I'd be interested to see a dyno sheet, even if it only tells part of the story... :rofl:

Well you've already asked someone who is a specialist in the field. I wouldn't think that a housing upgrade would cost the earth, and if it stops the thing choking up high then trialling it would be worthwhile. You may also find that any loss of response is academic when you look at the entire picture.

You might be surprised what a bigger turbine housing will do, and the extra ignition timing that it allows you to run. If you went with a -32 spec 2871 all you would get is a smaller turbine rotor with the same sized compressor :P FWIW, I found a -31 spec (ie 48 trim) GT2871 high flow very good, progressive and fast with 225rwkW. Never looked fast but it really covered ground nicely for a road car.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
