depends what spec mate, post the full details of each your looking at.

Considering the GT42 can be ordered with any range of wheels and housings (as i bet a t66 can also) then its virtually a case of how long is the piece of string in this case as the question is too general

The T66 is only rated at 700hp whereas the GT42R is rated at 800+...

T66 = old crap GT42R = new + improved design and twin ball bearing cartridge.

Also beware of cheap Chinese copies as many of these are circulating Ebay at the moment and are very very poor quality.

EDIT-R31Nismoid-you are not a trader, nor is FI a for sale section

JVC the GT42/GT42R use either

94mm 56T (70.3mm inducer) compressor , max flow ~84lbs at ~ 22lbs boost

102mm 53T compressor , max flow ~ 95lbs at ~ 33lbs boost .

Compressor type for both is BCI-18 or GT series .

Turbine for both is 82mm 84T UHP or GT series .

The once Garrett T66 , rights were sold to Turbonetics , is

91mm 52T (65.5mm inducer) with max flow ~70lbs at ~ 25lbs boost .

I think these normally use TO4P trim (74mm 76T) turbines .

Garretts answer to the T66 was I think the TO4R compressor which is 84mm 63T and good for ~ 75lbs flow at ~ 26lbs boost .

The TO4R is said to be better spooling (lower boost threshold) than any of the above and judging by its major diametre and trim size it seems logical . The fact that its compact enough to fit in a TO4S compressor cover is a bonus . It is used in HKS's (rebadged Garrett) TO4R and TO4Z with TO4 P trim turbines and in bush bearing form just about any turbine practical ie T350 (75.5mm 70 or 76T) , TO4 O (74mm 69T) , TO4 P , TO4 GTQ (79mm 70T) , TO4 GTS (81.3mm 85T) and probably 82mm UHP turbine from the GT42 .

The Americans really like this TO4R compressor up to about 750-780 Hp as its efficient at low and high pressure ratios and not prone to surge . If you go searching for it they sometimes call it the GT67 wheel - they like to call compressors by their inducer diametre (66.7 = 67) for some strange reason .

There are some ball bearing alternatives to the TO4Z using it ie GT3567R and GT4067R which obviously use GT35 or GT40 BB UHP turbines in their native turbine housings .

Cheers A .

    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all. 
    • Ok. What is the go to transmission upgrade that can handle some abuse with around 700nm at the hubs? Must be quiet gears as the car is being street used.
