Yes very interested . By 66mm comp wheel do you mean the Garrett/Turbonetic T66 compressor ?

If so it could prove laggy ie 52 trim ~ 90mm compressor . There is alternatives with compressors for the GT35 cartridge .

Thanks but not too keen on the GT3040R because the total turbine/housing flow ~ 27lbs with largest 1.06 a/r turbine housing . The tip speeds are very different between the comp 82mm and the turbine 60mm for any given rotating group rpm . I want to be able to use the GT35 turbine in a large a/r housing and get the response by reducing the load imposed by the compressor , I'm working on the theory that with little work to do the large and low restriction turbine should zip up to speed quickly . I can live with limited airflow potential (if you consider ~ 55lbs limited) and am not likely to need any more than 1 bar max .

Am still not sure whether to use a large trim GT37 compressor or a small trim GT40 . I had been under the impression that the Garrett plain bearing GT4082 which uses the 50T 82mm GT40 compressor was using a .58 TO4E cover but I think its a GT40 or TO4S cover . Arguably the GT30R's GT37 compressor end can move the air but will the GT35 turbine in the big housing spin it fast enough ?

Cheers A .

We run Gt 30/40 on a couple of customer cars, very streetable and make 285kw at the tyres. would be ample.

Have you had this turbo on a RB30DET?

A friend had a GT3040 on his RB30DET only to be dissapointed with the lack of top end (not peak power but acceleration feel) due to the restrictive hotside. Basically it made a heap of mid range power then power goes flat across the top, big arsed diesel feel.

I believe I have an old dyno sheet from an early rb30det conversion, it has an rb25det -> rb30det back to back done with the same turbo. I'll try and dig it up as that too illustrates the flat top end.

Still researching this one . Been looking at the GT40 turbine based turbos to see if I can move the exhaust flow up and the compressor flow down a little so that pressure is not too high on either side but the volume flow is high . Still waiting for some info from OS about the GT4088R on 3L 4 valve engines . Garrett appears to have played about with turbine trims and comp styles/housing AR with the BB GT40R so it may work well in a lowish boost application as it is . I would still prefer it with the 82 rather than 88mm compressor but the cost to change it may be out of the question .

One thing I have learnt is that generally increasing a compressors cover AR generally widens the islands of the map , so being big is probably no great disadvantage provided the lower gas speed is not an issue .

Cheers A .

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
