Hi all , there are soon to be some new Garrett T3 flanged integral gate exhaust housings in .63 and .82 a/r for the GT30R/GT3540R ranges . They are to be available in April 2006 but no details yet .

This will help those who want to use GT30R's and GT3540R's but without the external wastegate . The rumor is that the dump side will look something like the Fords XR6T's GT3540R housing .

More soon I hope , cheers A .

This has been in the spanners for well over 2 years now, it should have been done earlier, but GARRETT have been constantly changing cast manufacturers, thus the delay

As disco stated, late April/early May

The backorders on them are HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEE to say the least

Thanks

LOL , don't know ATM . The turbo is a long way off yet but with some recent research into GT3240's and some of Garrett's GT bush bearing turbos it seems there are 82mm GT40 compressors in 50 , 52 and 54 trims . I feel the 56T on Garretts GT3540R is a little big for the power or I should say torque I want so its a waste of turbine energy spinning something thats never going to achieve its potential . Far better to use the compressor wheel trim that suits my needs as it should be more responsive and increase turbine efficiency a bit . The $64 question is can the wheels be bought and is the back of the wheel the same as the BB version ie flat back or tulip shape and so on . Brett from GCG tells me they can drill/bore the centre hole if necessary so if the bush bearing shaft is smaller its not a problem . If I'm lucky and it bolts straight up I'm laughing .

Another thing to look into is this extrude hone process , the Americans say that noticable gains are had from extrude honing the turbine housings . This is not so much from a making the passages any larger but smoothing them out which aids the flow rate but not at the expense of gas speed . Its supposed to give a few more points of measurable turbine efficiency . Some of the turbo sellers will do this in the US at an extra cost so its an option if you buy from them . It could be done here but the set up cost is not cheap and I have seen the result of just a bit (lot) too much taken out .

I was told about these C117 compressors about 18 months ago , like the later GT40R has , and there is supposed to be new turbine designs on the way but when is anyones guess - they may already be out there in truck turbo's .

So I can wait and when the car eventuates the goodies get stashed away as turbo technology marches on and it all comes together .

I hope I can resist the temptation to play with the RB20 - maybe just an rb25 turbine housing - see I'm hopless !

Cheers A .

For Cubes hot off the press , Brett tells me there is an 82mm 52 trim BCCW18C compressor (59.1mm inducer) available . Just have to figure how difficult it is to fit and if HKS's idea of using the .60 a/r TO4S cover for 50 and 54 trim 82mm wheels is the go .

The amusing part is that with these GT40 compressors the inducer sizes are as follows .

50T = 58mm

52T = 59.1mm

54T = 60.3mm

56T = 61.4mm

So only 3.4mm the difference 50 to 56T though its supposed to make a very real difference in the way they load up the turbine particularly initially . As I have mentioned before the difference between a 52 and 56T GT30R is 500 rpm .

Cheers A .

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
