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 .

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
