theczechone Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hi guys, Im new to the RB world, but I have inherited some great stuff from another member on here. The engine came with a Holset HX35 turbo although it's a popular option, I think it is too large and would produce quite significant lag. I'd like a quicker throttle response in trade for some horsepower. My power goals are 325-375hp and I was thinking about going with the Garrett GT2871r or GT3071r if I decide to go to higher power later on. My question is: Will either turbo fit on the stock manifold into the 240z chassis (clearance to the fender well)? I haven't dropped the engine in yet to see what room I have to play with.

Duc1199Pani Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Do you get an answer for this yet? I too am wondering the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helghast7 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Honestly, for the power you want. I highly suggest selling the turbo, buying a cheap used stock turbo and sending it to pureturbos to have it rebuilt. They rate their upgrade to 450whp and it bolts onto everything factory minus the oil feed and return lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnickel Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I have a stock turbo with 4 thou axial shaft play. Likely close to the end of it's life. If you do decide on a high flow option (modified stock turbo for more power) I could send mine in as a core for you. That said, the 2871 often does not come stock with a t3 style turbine housing. The 3071R often does come with a t3 housing. What you are after is a turbo with a T3 turbo flange (as that is what the stock one is). If you are purchasing new, you can often get the turbo housing you want from the supplier. ie. http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=GRT-TBO-022&Category_Code=GRT Is your power goal wheel horse power (WHP) or just crank).

theczechone Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Thanks for your input guys, honestly I forgot that I posted this. I ended up going the pure turbos route and happy with the turbo, thou I haven't started it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
