I was speaking to AVO and they said they still sell plenty of their housings so someone must like them..

They are not ideal though and you dont really save alot of money doing it.. so i wouldnt recomend it..

A 400-450hp compressor is all I would throw at it.

I was speaking to AVO and they said they still sell plenty of their housings so someone must like them..

yeah my custom Rb25 highflow turbo, built by ATS Adelaide Turbo Services, utilises the AVO .73 rear housing matched to a stock V45 Nissan comp.housing (machined out) with gt3076iw ball bearing core. Rated to around 280rwkw at ~19psi, capable of 22-23psi, and made to look like the Stock Standard turbo.

The AVO exh.housing works well for the application it is intended for. 250-280kw range, auto or manual, bolt-on option.

I wonder wht the .73 housing flows less than the .63???:glare:

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.

I wonder wht the .73 housing flows less than the .63???:glare:

Already answered, the number is the area radius ratio. If the area and/or the radius is different then.....

You are not comparing two GT30 based turbine housings.

So I take it you are going with a non-garrett housing then?

yeah thats what i paid for mate so ill just bite the bullet and see how this setup goes :thumbsup:

yeah mate im hoping you will be around to see what the end result is too :thumbsup:

this is my first RB and i havent driven a skyline with a bigger turbo before so i wont be able to make a comparison to anything else

im sure what ever the power figure ends up its gunna feel much more lively than the 203kw i have now!:nyaanyaa:

HOPEFULLY IM SATISFIED FOR A WHILE ANYWAYS! HAHA

For comparisons sake, here is a picture of my GTX3071R's 5 bolt rear:

see heres a pic of mine old tech 3076 comp with the modified .64 skyline rear..

i can smash the pedal in any gear at anytime and it goes hard

compared to stock

you can almost see by the size of it its going to choke..It is still very quick on the street with full boost 19psi around 3500 and the small housing does give great response it drops to about 17psi by 6500rpm though, as do most IG and once you get in the upper rev range over say 5500rpm it just isn't as exciting as it should be.

Its making around 240kw @ 19psi which is alot of boost for not much result, but it is an old tech compressor. A new GTX one would make more but not much, 260 maybe, tangles makes 250kw ,if i played around with cams and gears etc it might make more, but I'm not going to bother as its easier to just swap it completely..

its still good fun and very driveable on the street with stock like response. The bit of extra lag it does have helps stop it form stepping out or losing traction to early, so its actually quite well balanced in an unbalanced kind of way :wacko:

The housing is much bigger I do prefer the look of the wastegate being separate on the garrett housing too but oh well its a done deal now so see how it goes when she is bolted in an all tuned up with with my hks cam gears and timing belt

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
