Yes, Discopotato, you are right. Later I thought my comment didn't read well.

I asked whether the GT30 housing came as an unmachined or semi-finished blank that required finishing before fitting up. If that were the case (and doesn't seem to be), then the possibility could exist.

How then, does Garrett get the 56.5mm wheel mated up to the internally gated housing that they call a GT30 that is evidently very different to the externally gated GT3076 with its 60mm wheel? I say "evidently very different" because of their vastly differing flow/efficiency maps and the obvious different method of turbine speed control.

Do they both fall within the UHP family, and where is the information about that and NSIII?

Hopefully I will get it soon...

BTW I am going to kick off a thread about interpreting turbine maps just to keep the brain ticking over.

cheers

The GT30 and GT28 exhaust housings are very different internally both being based around their native turbine major diameters ie 60 and 54mm . They modified or cropped the 60mm to the maximum size that would fit in an overboared GT28 housing and came up with 56.6mm . The Hub is too big and heavy for the shortened blades and the blade form is not the best in shortened form . The GT28 nozzle form was designed for GT28 turbines and so not optimised for the diametre of the hybrid . Turbine efficiency suffers and shows up as lag .

Great result quincy777, and right on target.

Couple of things I would like comment on if possible:

what sort of flange adaptor did you fabricate, and how did the turbo - suspension tower clearance work out?

what did you do for a suitable dump pipe

what is the boost threshold point (ie when does it go from vacuum to pressure)

how quickly does it build boost (once on boost)? Looking for comment about whether the power is controllable

cheers

Nice results for the 3071. When do you get full boost? Is it internally gated? Like the 3071-WG on atpturbo.com?

I get a bar of boost by 4rpm, internally gated and on standard manifold. Bought it from horsepower in a box. Lot's of fiddling and adapting with flanges, lines and crap but seems a great option..

I am planning to run one of these once I put some money aside (currently doing some serious body work!). From what Ive read around the place the GT3071R has almost the same spec front wheel/housing as the HKS GT2835ProS turbo. The main difference with the current breed of GT3071R is that theyre very common with a T25 Int Gate rear housing. Its been discussed around the place that getting the GT3071 with a 90 trim exhaust wheel and a HKS T3 .73 a/r exh housing is the way to go, as Garrett only offer a .6x and a .8x size in T3.

Housings are only USD$300 from HKS direct.

I've been thinking of putting a Garrett GT3071R on my RB20, do the RB20 manifold take T3 then?

Is this the turbo you lot are talking about? http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant...tegory_Code=GRT

was going to order it with 3in outlet ect.

But didn't know what you guys would surgest for A/R, i think i got the undertstanding that .82 is the one to go for?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
