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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
