Anyone running a GT30 on std engine?

boXXer · 02-07-2009, 01:19 AM

Did/does it drive shit? or are they ok? im planning future headwork etc when it blows up next, and need a new turbo now (for new chip), but instead of me going out to buy a T34.63, is it better for me just to bite the bullet and go for a GT30 instead?

You want the bigger variant of the GT3071, Cossierich uses one on a stock engine bar head gasket and 4x4 inlet and thats 450hp odd !

Definitely the way forward as they drive nigh on like a T34 anyway I hear but with loads more potential

boXXer · 02-07-2009, 01:34 AM

i see there are a few variants of the GT3071. What part numbers mean what?

boXXer · 02-07-2009, 01:37 AM

Possibly, I am sure Rich can confirm what it is he has or Chip as I think it came off him.

If i remember correctly Rich did get the turbo from Chip.

CossieRich · 02-07-2009, 08:05 AM

I did indeed get my turbo from the Chipster.

I use a standard port head with a now mental inlet cam. 4x4 mahle pistons with valve cutouts and 7.6:1 c/r. i need to update my resto thread actually as there has been some changes of late

boXXer · 02-07-2009, 12:36 PM

so what was it like on a STD lump. Im finding it pretty hard to get some info on what GT to go for.

AET Turbo,s are VERY GOOD Boxxer, they ,ll make you one up..

They did my GT3076 for me, great bunch...

boXXer · 02-07-2009, 12:44 PM

thanks mate, what did it cost you, and what sort of power band has it got?

i wouldnt put a GT3076 on a standard engine. A mate of mine had a fully ported head from Mark and it started to surge at 2 bar becuase he was still on standard cams. So unless you get the head ported and change the inlet cam i would get the smaller version like i have. Just my opinion boxxer

boXXer · 02-07-2009, 12:49 PM

yeah, i was looking at the 3071. i think that would be ok on a std engine for a bit until it shits itself.

JonnyBravo · 03-07-2009, 01:40 AM

I wasn't aware your engine was low comp Rich, not exactly a stock engine as I thought internally but great results either way.

I would definitely NOT be putting a 3076 on it though, overkill really unless the rest of the engine is specced for it.

Are you on a 205 or 200 block Boxxer ?

Chip · 03-07-2009, 01:53 AM

3071 internally gated on the bigger housing like cossie richs with anti surge porting is my idea of a perfect turbo on a standard YB

Comes in at about 900 quid at the moment I think though, prices have gone up, I got Rich's for him for 750 IIRC!

CossieRich · 03-07-2009, 08:21 AM

Jonny,

the only difference is the slight drop in c/r on mine. Think its 7.6:1. Everything is standard cosworth apart from the inlet cam. If my turbo ever lets go i will put the bigger gt30 on it to see what happens. And yes Chip, that was the price

JonnyBravo · 03-07-2009, 12:46 PM

I wasn't aware of that although most YB's have had a drop in c/r anyway but I did think yours was literally stock minus a gasket.

Either way its still a VERY cheap way of getting a good 450hp which really is what its all about
