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 .

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
