anyone running a gt3071r-wg?

[fast_s13]

just wondering if anyone is running one bottom mount on stock exhaust manifold? and if it has any problems clearing the steering column.. ill be running it on a s14 sr in a s14

would like to know the same thing.......also how did it performed ?

[Mouse6933]

we dont need no internal wastegates

[fast_s13]

you do when you want it to look somewhat stock

[bgsr240]

Tom do you still have that spare Apexi headgasket? 1.1 mm, 86mm bore? I would be interested in it if you still do.

Top Mount 3071R's are Baller ! Much like my engine bay >



External 44mm WG

[fast_s13]

yeah thats nice but i want my engine bay looking some what stock....nobody knows i have a built sr when i pop my hood and not many ppl notice anything differnt if you keep bottom mount

Baller... I feel really poor now :/

But anywho is it a t25 turbo flange for the bottom mount. I think it would be to restivtive for exhaust flow. Meaning you won't reach potential power.

3071R-WG would be a bad idea IMO. 2871R .86 is already restrictive enough let alone trying to use the T2 Turbine Housing with the GT30 Wheel. Also the internal gate may cause some problems with boost creep. Also the 3071R-WG is gonna be pretty laggy. I cant really see an advantage of having a laggy restrictive turbo. Just defeats the purpose of trying to make more power. But if your hell bent on doing it, the 3071R-WG fits with the 3" Compressor Inlet. The T04S housing may hit the engine mount.

[Mouse6933]

it does hit the engbine mount, but only by about a 1/4 of an inch, very very easy to grind down, cant wait to have this thing boostin

[tripleJs15]

I went with this instead GT2871R Garrett Part Numbers 743347-2 446179-32

Turbine-Wheel: 53.85mm w/ 76 trim-Housing: .64 ar

Compressor-Wheel: 71mm w/ 56 trim-Housing: .60 ar

[fast_s13]

how much power you putting down? i want to make 450-500hp on high boost

[tripleJs15]

i wouldn't use the 2871, a 3071 or 3076 ext wg, can get a log mani and be good with that, anything over 400hp you should look into the bottom end unless you already have

other than that you should be good

The tomei B8446 can get you 450 maybe but thats the most on a bottom mount you can get, BTW B8446 is the GT3076-WFG

[DrifterProdigy85]

The problem with bottom mount is the exhaust flow. Between the T2 flange size and the turbine housings, its just not allowing enough flow to make alot of power. It also effects the spool too. So i say if your going for a 400+hp setup, go Top Mount T3 all the way. GT3071R .63 can get to 450whp fairly easy. If you really want to stay T2, just get a GT2871R.

^ Nico forums R&D at it's best.....thats the most to the point answer

i guess you haven't seen my signature...... fully built..i was just tryn to stay away from top mount...but i guess i'll just have to GO BIG OR GO HOME RIGHT?

A 3071R is by no means Going Big. lol. Step up to something similar to what i have. GT37R or DBB T3/T67. Thats more or less, going big.

[DrifterProdigy85]

Also, stock internals can be reliable at 500whp as long as the tuner knows what the hells he doing. User error blows motors more so then the parts just reaching there limits.

you already swapped your turbo, I just notice your sig, what happened to the 2871 ? Sold it ?

[DrifterProdigy85]

Its still on the car right now. Hybridynamics is in the middle of making the manifold and downpipe for the GT37R kit now. Im not gonna sell it. Ive got a KA in my Vert that needs some power. lol.

[tripleJs15]

^ Its all good, hey what about boost creep, I checked cody's thread on the GT2871R, I know to a certain extent it's the BC and then WG may cause it, but why would you's creep at .9 and then hold steady. I need to get a new EBC as well looking at HKS or BLITZ, never looked at the Apexi, no looking at Greddy

How do u like the Apexi ?
