The power figure is just a number, Mark. It's how/where the thing delivers that this thing should show its worth.

A slightly smaller, earlier spooling unit (vs the well regarded 3076) really should be making the most of things lower in the rev range and putting distance on the bigger units before they get a full head of steam. You'd expect that they are going to blow by in the higher revs.

It would be good for Mafia to comment here, but I do believe the 0.63 IW housing did experience difficulty with boost control and was only happy above 18psi. BHDave also struck similar issues with his 3071. I'd suggest your builder might be looking to avoid that, but reckon this unit may not pose the same problems if so configured.

Either way if this 0.82 setup ended up making 16-18psi by around 3200rpm and the engine continued to make torque up to 7000 without falling over, you'll be on a good thing. 250 is only a number, and if it made 260 on pump 98 I'd think you've got a winner.

Adrian I've driven both 0.63 and 0.82 and 0.87 Pro S equipped GT30 setups. And I've provided comment about relative performances.

Characteristics aren't radically different. Basically the smaller housing provides higher gas speeds earlier, and at least with Mafia's setup also became restrictive earlier so it stopped making torque in the higher rpm range (ie power peaked sooner than the 0.8 sized housing).

The on boost torque curve effectively shifts to the left by 500-750rpm dependent on pipework, attention to smooth transitions, and whether it's on alcohol or water injection. Your 52T 3076 if/when tuned should be on full song from somewhere between 3800-4200 so that should tell you when Mafia's became lively.

For reference purposes - boost graph of a 52T 3076 on an SR with twin scroll .78 hsg. Note that 150kpa is a tad over 21psi - which as you can see is made at around 3750rpm and positive pressure at approx 2300rpm with big Hypertune short runner plenum. At the end of the tune it went on to make 389hhp on BP98 with 240hhp at 4000rpm. Very torquey (for an SR20) and revvy setup. I changed over from a GT3071 on the same setup but with larger dump 3.5 inch up from 3 inch and the 52T 3076 is superior in every way.

I expect it would work equally as well (if not better) on an RB with .5 litre larger capacity in a single scroll format with standard intake manifolding.

Judging by the thread responses this thread is about a 3067 vs other Garrett variants. I'm only offering my experiences so people can make an informed decision about turbo choice.

You're absolutely correct of course Dale. I'd be very surprised if I could even tell the difference between 250 or 260 kw driving it. Still, I did set a target for what I was chasing. :)

Time will tell , if the turbine response is adequate then the larger housing will pay off in other areas .

One is exhaust heat and pressure which often leads to detonation . You would think that with a less detonation tolerant fuel like P98 a bit more boost and and a bit less exhaust restriction will make more power .

Assuming the tuners do a good job with the light load low end areas the "torque crossover" of engine only to boosted performance should be acceptable .

Updates for one of ye olde GTX variants.

Some may be interested to know Guilt-toy is back and doing his thing. I saw him today to retune my car for the new setup and am over the moon with the result. I have never met a more approachable and reasonable tuner, and the result speaks for itself. I have driven my car extensively over the last decade (previously owned by a friend) and have driven it from stock and various levels of modded states.

The current setup is as follows:

Forged SR20 (not ported, not anything, just forged)

256 Poncams (non VCT)

GTX3071R

MX performance T3 manifold

38mm gate

Nistune, FiveO 850s, Z32

Homebrew dump and all intake plumbing

Results as follows:

Congrats, again sir :D That has to be a fun drive :)

Seeing as GTScoTT hasn't responded yet, I happen to know it's on 98 - get it drunk, boy.

Mr Lith has it covered. Just chilling on 98 for the moment, at least until its a little more readily available.

Am very happy with it. I was a little tired last night and didn't quite finish what I was trying to say:

I have driven my car extensively over the last decade (previously owned by a friend) and have driven it from stock and various levels of modded states. The car has never been this good. It is way more responsive than I'd ever imagined it would be and so far has given no shortage of awe for anyone that has passengered. Most friends specifically comment to say that it feels like any other turbo car until you give it a boot full. It honestly was not this smooth or potent when it was stock.

Nice :D Glad someone has had good results, even though it's not really what the thread is about - here's hoping m@&k's luck changes, seems like another "pick up date" has come and gone past like the wind :(

To be fair, I think it's a very effective setup but I'm not sure when I missed an engine with upgraded internals (including cams), aftermarket exhaust manifold/wastegate etc running 22+psi became mild!!! :D But yes, that thing is clearly going to be a weapon.

Results look great Scott. What engine speed does 100kph correspond to on the Silvia? Around 3,800? Was impressed with how quickly it built boost in the vid you posted as well.

Yes Lith, pick up date has slipped again, but looks like only by a day. Received a quick email late last night saying it had come back from the tuner yesterday afternoon. In Josh's words: "drove it this afternoon, really loving how the power is coming on". They're giving it a check over today to make sure it's ready for pick up. I'm hoping to be able to get it after work today.

Your confused with stock-ish ;)

@ Mark - here was my previous GT3071 setup revved to 8,000rpm so 4,000rpm would be around 112klms

Cheers, I wasn't too far off then. Looks like Scott's GTX3071 has similar boost threshold / spool characteristics as the GT3071? Although I guess not really comparable on different engines...

Edit: I realise they're both SR20s, just they've been built differenty.

Awesome - sounds promising, have you got a number yet... or are you wanting to check it all out before you report? :) Either way, glad it's done finally!

No numbers as yet. Might have to wait until I pick it up. Unfortunately, it's pissing down rain here today. Won't be able to go for a decent drive for a couple of days probably...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
