Morning gurus,

I bought a skyline 12 months ago and the owner said he changed the turbo, I can't remember whether he said it was a 3071 or 3076. How do I tell the difference? It's internally gated if that helps (although I believe either can be internally gated?). I thinks it says 0.67 a/r on the turbo itself.

Any help would be great. Cheers

there should be a little metal plate with numbers n letters stamped on the core (around where the hoses go in and out of the centre of it).

take a photo of that plate and either take that to a turbo specialist or maybe even someone on here can help you to sus it out based on that. n yes, you'll also need to get the A/R ratio numbers stamped on the housings.

Most "real" GT3076Rs have an anti-surge housing - if it sounds like a jet spooling, its a 56-trim GT3076R with the anti-surge housing. If it doesn't, doesn't mean it's not from the range of "GT3076R" titled things... but it's much more likely to be a GT3071R.

Hmmm not sure, it does scream when spooling but it's my first turbo car so can't really compare.

An original Garrett GT3071R will have 0.50 AR on the compressor housing , the real GT3076Rs have 0.60 AR compressor housings .

A .

Must be a 3076 then because I definitely remember 0.6x a/r on the comp housing

So, say it was a 3076 what is a safe level of boost to run at constantly? I've been told all I need is a stiffer waste gate spring and I can run 21psi, would that be too much for the turbo to handle long term?

I don't see why not, how much boost are you on now? also maybe talk to a tuner before you go raising boost too much

It's tuned for 7, 10 and 14 PSI currently, I won't be changing any boost pressures with out a tune. Just wondering if a 3076 could handle 21PSI day in day out or if it would need to be turned up to 21 sparingly

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
