That's an interesting point you raise about the smaller turbines Scott. Some time ago was comparing GTX2867 with 0.82 AR and GTX3067 0.63 AR. Supposedly they flow the same (which seems to be supported by Garrett turbine maps on their site), but someone, (I think Lithium?) said that the GTX3067 is a better match and hence more efficient. Trying to find a T3 housing for the GTX28 is a pain too.

Wolverine, all input is welcome. Kind of like the idea of being a test pilot. Would be all worth it if it turns out to be a good combo. Obviously don't want to throw money away, but in this case I feel that the the risk (boost control) is a known, so can take steps to avoid it. At worst, might learn something.

A questions that just struck me, how come boost control in the GT30 0.63 AR seems to be an issue, but not for the GT-RS (2871) which I also thought had a smallish AR? Just because the compressor flows less?

I think it depends on which GT30 you look at because the standout seemed to be the GT3071R . The GT2871Rs from Garrett ran plain T04B compressor housings and the 3071R a plain 0.50 AR T04E housing .

Obviously HKS found that surge was an issue and used their own non Garrett port shrouded comp housing . They also specifically used the 52 trim version of the 71mm GT compressor in the GTRS .

Garretts GT3076R of today is literally a HKS spec "GT3037S" without the bell mouthed insert and the HKS turbine housing . Available in 52 and 56 compressor trims .

HKSs version of the GT3071R , called GT2835 Pro S , used non Garrett turbine and compressor housings and the cropped versions of the GT30 turbine .

There is nothing magical in what HKS did , it was about dialling in housings and wheel sizes and trims . If Garrett didn't have suitable housings they had their own made up .

I don't recall anyone saying they had wastegating issues with HKS spec Garrett turbos used in the right applications .

Yeah, this is exactly my point. What did HKS do with the GT-RS (and other) housings to avoid boost control issues, when the Garrett GT30 0.63 AR seems to be generally considered a no no even though it should be less restrictive than the GT28...?

Is it simply down to the size of the wastegate port?

I've been trying to find some results of people using these housings. Found some comments on Zilvia.net about the ATP T25-EWG-44 housing saying it was crap, which supports comments earlier in this thread.

Link is below for those interested, but be warned that you will have to wade through 24 pages of SR20 babble:

Still looking to see if there is any other info on the Cosworth type IWG housing...

The Garrett turbos on the Cosworth Sierras and the sporting evolutions - RS500s were not exactly brilliant things . A lot of them failed and were returned unopened to Garrett .

It's highly probable that the ones on the best racers were a bit more "standard" than most and I know for a fact that many were fiddled yet kept standard dimensions on the bits the scrutineers could measure . Engineering over design was what made the 500s work as well as they did and if you remember what they were racing against pre GTR its not surprising they had the headlines for a short time .

Better off playing with a true GT30 turbine housing of some kind IMO .

A .

Thanks Disco. After much reading today, I'm starting to agree. My initial excitement over these housings is waning rapidly.

Looks like if I want to try something a bit different, it's best with the 0.63 AR GT30 housing. Then at least if there's trouble with it, can at least swap out for the 0.82 version without having to change the dump again.

Thanks all for the input.

I've searched heaps for info/results on GTX2867Rs and GTX3067Rs and this is what some of the 2L four banger people said . Read into it what you like ...

They reckon they proved ages ago that the 0.64 AR turbine housing was always the go with GT28XXR turbos and using the optional 0.86 AR one was a backwards step . They reckoned that lag increased with the larger turbine housing and what they gained at the top was trivial . It sounded to me like the larger housing reduced the gas speed through the turbine which then didn't turn the compressor fast enough to make boost when they wanted it .

Now obviously the GTX3067R is a bitzer , and yes if you look at the GT28 0.86 AR and the GT30 0.63 AR turbine maps the flow lines are sort of similar .

To me its logical that if you want a GT30 turbine to spin up like a GT28 one then you probably want to be using a similar AR housing to the GT28 turbine using that same compressor end .

I think most/all GTX3067Rs advertised have the 0.63 housing on them and that's obviously no accident .

You could look around to see if anyone's selling cheaply a 63 or an 82 housing and try that if you buy a 3067R .

A .

What power goal are you after?

Looking for 260+rwkW. Basically what I'm searching for is the next step up from a GT-RS. The GTX3067 in 0.63 AR (as per Disco's advice) seems to be the next logical step up, and hoping it won't give away too much response from the 2871-52T of the GT-RS given the newer tech and slightly smaller dia GTX wheel.

Another idea I was kicking around was to try and replicate the HKS 2835 Pro S:

  • Use a 3071-WG CHRA (the cropped GT30 turbine), but replace the compressor with GTX67
  • Get the ATP T25-EWG-44 turbine housing in T3 footprint - it's based on GT30 housing and available to suit cropped turbine.
  • + external wastegate etc.

But it seems like too much of a gamble given the effort that would be involved. Not to mention the negative feedback generally surrounding these components.

Anyway, it sounds like the way forward is to get the 0.63 AR housing and enlarge the wastegate port. Thanks everyone for their input.

Cheers,

Mark.

Hi Mark, regardless of which turbo you go with consider this, the moment you go away from a standard turbo there is going to be fabrication and parts galore. If you go with a turbo only slightly larger than the standard turbo you will be disappointed with the power. In a 1400kg car 260rwks is the least number I'd go for. I just can't see that turbo (3067) making the numbers. As somebody said before, go with the Hypergear turbo. I have the Garrett 3071 & .82 rear housing and have no lag. It isn't so much the turbine housing that creates lag but a combination of the compressor size and turbine size.

My 3071 has the uncropped turbine wheel by the way. If it were me I would demand a minimum 260kws as previously stated due to the amount of work you have to fit a foreign turbo. So look for a turbo that will do the job without lag.

There are many drift cars out there running 3076 .82 turbos by the way and don't seem to have lag issues. Its all in the tuning.

So basically what you'd want is a HTA 2871? Do a google search. It has the rear housing from a gt28 so no lag but it has the larger compressor housing from the gt30 turbos and still flows 52lbs/min which is I'm not wrong is what the HKS 3037 flows, so the turbo is good for 300rwkw plus with minimal lag. If that's not the best of both worlds what is?

Take a look, should give you exactly what you're after

Just my 2c worth because that's the exact turbo I'm getting for the same reason, minimal lag but no top end sacrifice. I'm aiming for around 300rwkw from mine though, should get pretty close

Actually that compressor housing is the old truck style T04B one and the only GT30 turbo I know of that uses a similar kind of thing is the GTX3067R - only its an updated port shrouded one .

I think it's debatable that you'd reliably get any single GT28 turbine fitted turbo to 300 RWKW - without an external gate anyway .

I'd say the whole reason Garrett stuck a GT30IW hotside on the 3067R was to run the X67 compressor out without choking the exhaust side . BTW on their site they rate the 2867R at 480 Hp and the 3067R at 500 Hp .

Strangely enough they quote the full turbine size GT3071R as 460 Hp and the cropped one as 480 . Something screwy about those 3071Rs but interesting that they quote the cropped one as the same power as the GTX3067R , note this is the same cartridge used in the HKS GT2835 Pro S turbo .

Well I'll let you know mate, I'll have mine done by about Feb next year. But with the same set up as mine with the HKS 3037 one of the guys on here had 330rwkw. And it's the same flow rate so it should go close

Don't know too much about the HTA turbos to be honest. Might need to look into that. Also agree that Hypergear has been getting some great results from his SS1PU turbos. I guess I've been looking at Garrett because there is more data available. Just irritates me I can't find something between the two standard turbine ARs. If only the HKS Pro S was available at a realistic price, it would be a done deal.

Also have been pulling together some info from the dyno results thread comparing some of the more common IWG turbo options. Will probably post in new thread when I get my sht together.

You mean Honeywell turbos? lol

just go for something that suits your goals/requirements.. no need to be a brand wh0re and get a Honeywell turbo.

Don't know how true this is, but it's worth a read:

FYI I have a gtx3076r on a 25 with a .82 iwg rear and I am having boost spike issues when running 21psi. I also have a eboost street but unable to keep it from spiking over 20psi. It's fine when running 15psi

    • 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).
