ok, well aware this gets asked alot but there is to many variables. looking at either turbo in .82 IW patterm. im after 250-270ish with obvoiusly the most response possible, without having to cram boost in to make power. .Car has standard cams and will do so for a while.

1. assuming all variables are the same. what would be the spool difference between the two turbos at 1 Bar. (my reading is leading me towards 3071 is 3500ish, 3076 is 4000ish...correct?)

2. which one did you choose and are you happy with it?

these turbos seem to be the main two that pop up in discussion, but most are .63 ex gate. have spoken to garret, MTQ and the person tuning my car and have all confused me even more.

any help is appreciated, as i cant make up my mind

lol, thanks simon. i thought i might get some non biased opinion here rather than the 3076 bashing from andrew and luke.

well you've had the 2 turbos, admittedly with different rear housings. what would you go for?

also when i popped down to MTQ, the 3071 now comes with the anti surge front cover :worship:

Both .63 rear though. And I dong want to run IW with the .63 due to the bOost issues. Also simon, could the response differences have something to do with e85?

If the lag is only a few hundred rpm. Then I'd just go the 76 for the head room. But getting up around 300rwkw is getting to be pretty useless for a daily/ curcuit car

these turbos seem to be the main two that pop up in discussion, but most are .63 ex gate. h

:ermm: I dunno what threads you've been reading here but almost all the results here are ALL .82 and -IW

3071 is the turbo you want for 270rwkw. The 3076 is 280-300rwkw on PULP, 330rwkw on E85

Get the .82, be happy.

It's been discussed 100's of times here now and i really cbf'd typing much more about it. Go search if you want to see all the threads.

thanks. but from my reading and lengthy discussions with garret and their distributors, they cant offer an answer either other than go with the .82.

have you had experience with either turbo or just been reading on here?

that seems to be the way im looking at it. but then threads like this

http://www.skylinesa...ge__hl__3071+82

make the 71 seem the go.

thats my old car :)

go the 71 if yr goal is 270kw, its an awesome turbo

no point in having extra lag if the 71 will comfortably make that power

but be beware, you will want more power! they always do

I've had a 3040 in the past.

And as i said, there is that much info in the pages here, i cannot see why you'd even need to ask Garrett.

I don't think there is as much info as you think regarding the .82 IW. Have only found a few of each. thanks for the helpful post usmair, that's the experience I'm looking for.

I rang garrett for an opinion. Seems quite logical to me. 3040 isn't really relevant here. But thanks. I've also received info on 3082, also not really what I'm looking at

Thanks

If you don't want to cram boost into it then surely the 0.82 housing is the go. To make an each bet, order the 52 trim comp GT3076. GCG have them.

(edit: Ash's comparison to a GT3040 is valid as we are talking the same turbine and housing with a bigger compressor so anything smaller like a 71mm or 76mm comp will be even better)

Yeah .82 is a definate. Mostly due to not wanting to cram boost and the IW not liking the .63. My main question is how much earlier the 71 will come on than the 76. I've even read here that the 76 may come on earlier

Confusing stuff when your actually Trying to buy a product. And fwiw the price difference between 71 and 76 was $20 through mtq. I lold.

Well a lot of people used to think that the conventional , ie pre GTX , GT3071R was not really an ideal match of compressor to turbine as in getting the GT30 turbine to spin the 71mm compressor fast enough .

I've alwasys thought that the GT30 turbines trim size is a little big in this instance and its not someting you can get around by changing the turbine housing from say 0.82 to 0.63 A/R .

Also from what I've seen Garrett didn't seem to want to fit the port shrouded version of the T04E compressor housing on the GT3071R until the GTX version became available .

There are a couple of choices you have and one is the GTX3071R and the other the mid compressor trim version of the GT3076R ie 52 rather than the more usual 56 trim size .

I'd do some searching on what results people are getting from the GTX3071R .

A .

Thanks. I did look into the gtx3071. However mtq in sa said they have only sold a couple and haven't heard back from people. Even in the US it doesn't seem people ate spending the money on the gtx. At the end up the day I can't imagine power near 300rwkwwould be easy to put down in a street car

Joeyjoejoeshabadoo (sp) seems to be the ideal Case for 3071 (admitantly 2835 .67 or something). Making 260ish at 1 bar. Full boost about 3300. Sounds perect in theory

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
