[s-cars] GT 2876 vs GT3071 vs GT 3076. Differences?

[Christopher Leal]

Another data point:
 
My 3071 doesn't run out of gas at 6500 but that could be because of my 7A cams and ported head (I'm close to sea level too). All factors to consider.

The explanation on Javad's site is accurate.  The diff between the 2871 and 2876 is the major diameter of the compressor wheel.  The 76 is 76mm, the 71 is 71mm.  Same is true with the 3071 vs. the GT30R (AKA the 3076.).

Personally, I love the 30R.  However, it is soft below 3800rpm, so most folks prolly wouldn't like it as a daily driver.  It doesn't bother me a bit, and since I don't do a whole lot of city driving, the extreme power from 4-8k rpm makes it a no brainer for me.  It will also surge if you load it up at a low rpm in a higher gear.

I believe most anyone would love the 3071.  Comes on very quick, and makes very nice power.  It does run out of gas around 6500-ish rpm, however.
