My mechanic and i have spoke about turbo choice, we are going ahead with the garret gtx3076r.

Thanks for your help hypergear and thanks to any one from the skyline australia forum for helping out also.

Hmmmm just don't know ! Nothing wrong with that choice, i run it! but a hyper gear would be awsome combo on your car, what rear housing you going to run? you going internal or external gate?

Well I believe there is a strong Bias on his engine builder as many older timers did grew up with the company, even thou I do not agree that it is a better choice for factory manifold and internal gate, but I respect their decisions.

As developments continues, I will make sure the SS internally gated series are always a better bolton option for the Nissan Rb25det engines.

I run the same turbo, the GTX is only a good choice for someone planning on running 25+ psi, otherwise the GT or a Hypergear is a better option imo.

It is a fairly laggy 400kw on e85 turbo choice. What do you want out of your setup?

Just saw he wants to run x frame mine is gt 3076r not to laggy at all with a .63 external and manual lol makes good power, but will expect it to nose over soon on the next time hopefully get 350+ out of it b4 it does , but there are much better choices out there now, more response, better flow, I know I will be changing to some thing else one day soon, but just like to see where I can push this combo too first .

2000 rs you have spent massive $$$ on that stag now and deserve to make good power so be very very careful on turbo choice and who you take advice from . There are ppl on here who are specifically in tune with stagea's and rb engines and turbo choice too suit . You've also got too look at what power delivery you want , do you want a dyno queen lag monster or something that will actually get the stag up and moving street style, do you want a linier v8 style power delivery or do you want a head snap . Be careful on what path you choose

And mechanic so strongly in favour of one turbo over another (when the one he's against is arguably the best choice) isn't a mechanic worth taking your car to.

Seriously, for what you want I doubt you'll find a better turbo than a HG. There are lots of results out there which demonstrate how perfect HGs are for RBs. If your mechanic isn't confident using one, then he has a problem, not the turbo.

I vote find a new mechanic

4bidn1 has a a 3076 56t ,63 same setup/gate on stockyband he had auto aswell

i have hypergear g3with old bigger 58t comp wheel/bigger turbine/bigger .82 exhaust housing

now lets guess which one has way more power under 3800rpm

the 3076 woudnt even make 1psi on a stock converter..

of course you workshop woudnt know this...

remember you have to move a big heavy car. Good ole adelaide

workshops..lol

.82

internal wastegate.

Dont want the cops to have a heart attack when they pop the bonnet.........

I am running forged pistons, plan on getting mv auto to strengthen my trans and put a stall converter in..........

The workshop im sending my car too works mostly with rb engines, they have drift cars also.

They have worked with alot of HG turbos, they say they cant get no where near the figures HG have posted on the net Plus the front housing on HG turbos are to big for my application as i am not running a top mounted turbo.

What figures do they get on their Garrett range?

Just on that, are you buying the turbo from them?

With the gt3076 they make around 330rwk on a manual.

And yes they are getting the turbo in for me, i payed a deposit today. the gtx3076r is $2450

The gt3076 is $2050

You pay for what you get these days i guess.

well not really..you got assf**ked by bill with your first turbo, assf**ked by your engine builder

theres plenty of info here to tell you why the gtx3076 woudn't be a good thing for what you want

but you seem to like to get spoon fed,your the type of customer workshops dream about..lol

money doesn't buy brains sadly

    • 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.
