Garrett 3071R On Rb20

Hi all,

I'm very tempted to buy a 3071R in my quest for 240rwkw+ out of my rb20. I already have a GCG ball bearing high flow but thought with the 3071R i'd prob have the same lag but more power.

I have searched and searched but cant find anyone real results or info on fitting this turbo. Most of the threads on here talk about results they might get or comparing sizes to other turbos.

I know I'll need a new dump pipe which is fine but if there is any known issues with installation then I'm not going to bother, I know a mate from work had problems with his 3076 on his 25, had to use a spacer to clear and the standard lines were impossible to fit.

Apparently some people have also had problems with boost control, cant get it under 22psi.

Any info much appreciated.

Cheers.

Any boost control issues have been related to the 0.63 turbine - but only when installed on a RB25 engine. You're going to need to stick some decent boost into a 20 if you want to head up/over the 250kW mark.

It's a fairly straightforward process bolting a GT30 snail onto the manifold and doing water/oil lines. Smaller comp housing might not even require a spacer for clearances. Dump pipe to suit should be readily available, or even a secondhand one if you look around.

It seems that the Kando units are getting good results on RB20s too, check a couple of posts and youtube links that Roy has posted up.

Unless you plan for 260rwkw+

IMO stick with the GCG item. At least it'll not be "too bad" in the response stakes and still deliver 240rwkw on around 20psi

Lot of cost to go 3071 for not much extra top end and more lag

For that sort of boost to ony be making 220rwkws either there is a blockage in the exhaust (cat or collapsed muffler), inlet is sucking shut, or you simply have no ignition in the tune. Think that a std R33 turbo makes around 190rwkws on 14-15psi. So with another 506psi up it would be makign similar power...and a hi flow with its bigger wheels should be flowing more then a std turbo or a 2530.

Its a rb20 highflow from what i was told, not to sure how much smaller it is compared to a rb25 highflow. Might be similar to a HKS2510?

I really have no idea what its making to be honest. And for 20psi I would expect more then 220 which is why I think the tune is rubbish.

Saying that russman made 230 odd with a hks 2530 on 20psi and I think this turbo is of a similar size.

Thats not bad on a 20 lag wise.

Honestly more then likely not bothering anymore, the one i was looking at is apparently a cropped version so not really that good a turbo, plus after a re tune i might make 230+ so for an extra 10rwkw it might be a waste of time and money.

I'm running a 2540 on my rb20. Running 16psi and making 220rwkw. Tried running 18psi but it was pinging. Even though im using a ems computer my tuner told me he wasn't able to tune out the pinging. It comes all in at about 4100rpm but i think that feels pretty laggy. Anyways nearly got the s1 rb25 ready to drop in. Will be trying the 2540 on the rb25.

GT2540s are rubbish along with GT2510s . They are examples of the earliest HKS spec Garrett ball bearing turbos that didn't have "Power with Response" . They have thankfully been discontined and replaced by later things like the four and twin six cylinder versions of the GTSS and the GTRS turbos .

In this day and age you'd call a GT2540 a GT2876R because it uses a GT28 NS111 turbine and a non GT era T04E 76mm 46T compressor wheel .

These would be laggy for a GT28 based turbo even on an RB25 I think . Two ways to look at it - either too much compressor for the turbine or not enough turbine for the compressor .

A GT2510 is literally a GT2530 with a short changed turbine .

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
