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 .

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
