Hey guys i am buying a garrett gtx3071r .70 housing for my gtst i originally bought (paid for) a hks 2835 kai but hks cant tell me when i can get it and ive already waited over a month for my turbo so im getting a refund for it :down:

just wondering if anybody has played with 1 on an rb25 and knows how responsive this turbo is????

what sorta revs to make 16-18psi???

And if anybody has what kinda power and torque can i expect? (based on personal experiences of course) haha!

Id like to hear your experiences with them IF THERES ANYBODY OUT THERE??????

CHEERS

:thanks:

Thought so. Apparently those "bolt-on" housings are not very good for power. Native garrett housings are better at making numbers. X3071 is a 300-320kw turbo, in a 0.7 bolt-on housing it'll make something in the region of 260-270kw. At this power level you're better off with HKS 2835.

Norm .63 or .86

They are .63, .82 and 1.06 a/r mate.

I would with a pro S kit but you cant buy a new 1 anymore and at this stage from what i read the Kai kit isnt producing the numbers but im not that concerned about numbers im after good usable responsive street power and i do believe this turbo should give me that and i cant wait any longer for the hks kit lol i want that extra grunt now lol i outlayed $2600 on july 9 for a turbo and still cant get 1 for who knows how long

so the garrett it is :turned:

Well, I don't know what numbers you're after, but by the sound of it you'd be satisfied with 260-280 kw. 

Maybe you should consider putting something from the GT2871 range put inside bolt-on housing instead of GT30 family?

Why is that wolverine? How do I know which is the AVO housing? Yeah anythin over 260 id be happy with. Maybe thats why the 2835 kai isnt makin the power of the pro s kit cause of the factory bolt up and no dump pipe?

Anything that bolts up to the stock dump pipe is a compromise for the 60mm turbine. There has been disappointment from these housings in terms of their power they make at the top end. So while you feel like you are saving some money on the front end you may end up with an expensive lesson if the results aren't what you want.

The GTX3071 'on paper' will make similar power to the older 76mm GT compressor but history has shown that the AVO will probably max out before the compressor has done its best.

The ARR is just what it sounds like and area radius ratio so there is not much joy in comparing the 0.73 to a garrett 0.63 or 0.82 GT30 framed ARR. The 0.73 seems to flow less than the 0.63 (The Mafia has done more to max out a 0.63 than anyone if you search for it).

I think you will get better results if you suck it up and change dump pipes and use a native garrett housing.

Hypergear results recently are showing some really good results that are very similar on paper to HKS2835ProS, plus the Kando Dynamic turbos also are producing good numbers at great prices but also require a little bit of fiddling around, like a Garrett turbo, the first time you install one.

If you are committed already I would ask if you can change to the Garrett turbine housing instead.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
