Looking for a turbo for my motor. My buddy had a GT3076R that he sent off to have the GTX billet wheel upgrade and new seals. Goal for the car is 400-450 on pump. Car is a street car with ac. How would this turbo do?

It would do very well. I am using a GT3076R that I had upgraded to a TR3030R for a 500whp minimum goal. I think you would be hard pressed to find a better street turbo.

Do u have any power numbers yet?

Dark_Teg

It will be a couple months before I hit the dyno. Waiting on some parts to come in etc...

Damn I need to find someone with some numbers

You'll hit the turbine wheel flow limit before the compressor wheel flow limit.

I realistically what kinda power could I see out of it? I dont plan on race gas. More less a fast *** street car

Its a fairly common turbo that used by many people on here, do some searching. The turbo should be good to about 525whp someone may jump in and correct me.

I've searched for GT3076R and only got a few results

walkenman

Check out evans-tuning I'm sure there's some on there

Dark_Teg

The standard GT3076R is good for 520whp. 500whp is pretty much the pump gas max give or take on a motor this size anyways.

I'm trying to figure out if it's really a 76R and not a 71R. The compressor housing worries me.

the compressor housing represents only a small factor in determining whether or not a turbocharger is going to reach desired horse power level. Simply because one particular cover is being used, does not mean that it is going to be ineffective and not what you're looking for.

The real concern is what exhaust wheel is being used. If it is a 60 millimeter exhaust wheel you have no worries

I send u a pm the other day but I'm sure your busy. The compressor housing is the 4 inch on that isn't an anti surge. Like the 2871 and 3071 comes with. My buddy did send it off to pure turbo and had seals and the GTX billet wheel installed. If indeed it is the 3076 I may buy it. Seems like it would be a good street turbo and should make 380-400 on pump.

Bump need some more insight please.

The lack of a ported shroud cover doesn't mean it isn't a 3076. They come in many housing configurations, the ported shroud being considered standard. Without measuring the wheel you won't know. However it isn't a Garrett gtx wheel, they don't sell them separately unless pure had a bad gtx cartridge laying around. I know who pure turbo uses for billet wheels but won't post that here. I'm betting if you pull the cover off out will be an extended tip compressor wheel which the gtx turbos don't have

Just sent u a pm man. I can go over there and pull the housings all and measure tomorrow. If its a extended tip is it better then their GTX wheel?

I did talk to Charles and he said their billet wheels flow the same or more then the GTX

What exactly is your question? You must not be good at searching as the GT3076R is a very popular sport compact turbo. Go to Advanced search, select only the "Forced Induction" forum. Under the keyword select "Titles Only" and search for the following keywords separately - 3076, GT3076, GT3076R, GT30R, GT30, GTX3076R. There are more than 100 combined threads talking about this turbo.

The GT3076R is rated for ~560hp. I made 597hp with a 3076 variant. The "GTX" wheel upgrade does little for the turbo as the turbine was the already the restriction. Perrin posted a wonderful review thread over on NASIOC about the GTX wheel which also includes the original GT3076. I personally feel its too big for your modest goals of 300-400hp. A 3071 would be ideal for you.

Dark_Teg

I had the GT3076R on my 300whp set-up. Boost was almost instant and ran high 11's. What Muckman fails to mention is his near 600whp performance was with a really high compression race gas build. Everyone rates the standard GT3076R at 520-525hp and the billet wheel upgrade is rated at roughly 580-590hp. People don't do the billet wheel upgrade for the extra 60-70hp of top end potential, they do it for better spool/boost recovery between shifts which equals a faster car.

My main concern is making around or over 400whp. That's my goal. That will be plenty of power for a street car. With the car having ac I don't want to have to swap turbos again right away.

I made 450 on 93 octane. When I got the turbo is a 3037 which I believe its pretty much the same as the 3076. Mine has the .63 hotside

Good numbers man. A friend has one on his 2.0 in Texas and is doing 420ish at 16 psi.
