Hi All,

I am looking at upgrading my turbo and have had a search through a few previous threads as to where is the cheapest places to source a turbo kit for my r34 gtt.

As a result I got in contact with Paul from street to track however he is no longer dealing garrett turbo chargers.

I was wondering where everyone sources their turbo kits from and if they would be able to point me in the right direction.

I am looking at doing a garrett gt3071r externally waste gated meaning I am going to need manifold, wastegate, dump pipe and intake pipe.

Can anyone help me out here ?

I know GCG do a high mount kit for around $3,800 but surely there must be a cheaper way to acquire the kit.

GT3071r is a poor choice (these days) for an RB25. Same sized billet compressor from any of a range of other turbo suppliers will make more power, or alternatively a smaller billet compressor for the same power will have better response. Get hot side set up to match, and you'll enjoy it a lot better.

So, go look at the Hypergear stuff (there's a massive thread dedicated to it) and if need be contact Stao and tell him your requirements and see what options he has for you. Which is a lot, by the way.

Then there is also the option of the FP HTA stuff, and a few other vendors of highly developed turbos. No-one should be addicted to using raw Garrett stuff any more.

Really, has Garrett fallen that far behind? It just seems to be the most popular choice in the rb25 dyno threads and from speaking to people.

If I was to go for a hyper gear turbo can anyone suggest where I can source intake pipe, dump pipe and manifold from in Sydney ?

Hypergears is a bolton turbo. you will need few silicon hoses to make a induction pipe and thats pretty much it. I personally vote for SS1PU super responsive 260rwkws

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
