Need A New Turbo! What Do I Buy?

[hypergear]

its ok. I will keep one in stock, so just ring before dropping by, you can pay upon collection

[2000 RS]

I will ring you tommorow to work out whats best for my stagea.

[2000 RS]

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?

[hypergear]

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?

[4bidn1]

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

[wolverine]

Oh noes GTX3076?!?!

[CLNSKY]

+1 to HG.. I'm about to buy one over a 3076 very soon...

Results speak for themselves

[jet_r31]

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

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.

[Cowboy1600]

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

[Josh080691]

You got ripped HG turbos have alot better response and at half the price. That workshop wanted to milk you haha. Post back ur results though to late to change.

[2000 RS]

You pay for what you get these days i guess.

[jet_r31]

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
