That's what I run. It's a good reliable turbo. You will need an external housing for it, I have been using the Taiwanese stainless ones with great success, also the Kando housings work very well. I picked mine up on sale at MTQ a few months ago for $930.

For an Rb30det the turbine housing is too small. You can get more power and hold boost better by just replacing the .63 turbine with a .82 turbine. It should get you about 300rwkws, but I don't think it will do more.

Alternatively I do have 10cm turbines that is made for external gating that I can machine up to suit the current core and you can get Scotty to drill and weld an gate on the side of it.

change the diff ratio first! before doing anything else, it will make a world of a difference

* (if you don't have the torque to push the higher gearing)

I listened to similar advice and wished i didn't. All I noticed was worse fuel economy due to 500 revs more on the freeway. If it's a road car you really need to think twice.

Diff has 4 pin borg warner conversion so its not an issue. 355 gers will make the car prpell faster but also makes wheel spin easier too. if I exturnal gate the op6 to control the boost in the top end and go e85 I think it will make the power close to what I want.

Well I have picked up a gtx3071r. From what I have been informed this turbo won't be able to make the rwhp I want. Spoke with Mike vine turbos in Brisbane. They told me to get the power I want I need a minimum of a gtx3076r or better yet a gtx3582 with .63 rear. Thats on pump fuel. If I change to e85 would it make the power (gtx3071r) that is.

I make 330kw at all 4 through an unlocked stall converter, the GTX3071 will easily do it, on the stock manifold if you externally gate the housing. Even internally gated it will crack 300 on e85.

The GTX3076 is a 400kw turbo on ethanol.

If you plan to run petrol you may have a hard time making 300, but it could still get there if you have a great setup. I just don't like leaning on petrol tunes that hard...

Ok. I now have these mods to do. Custom hi mount manifold with exturnal gate. Gtx3071r turbo. 1000cc injector twin 044 pumps head has allready been ported stage 1 pon tom cams 3 inch turbo back exhaust 100 cell cat. 600x300x76 cooler and change to e85. Should get me to where I want to be. . Will I need head studs or anything else.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
