just want to know what rpm max boost is reached and what front they have on it

Hey mate

The VL turbo and bigger FJ20 turbo uses the .63 size which is on the bigger side of average for T3. Some come in .48 etc etc.

Boost will come on much later because of the bearings and wheel designs.. sometimes up to 3300rpm or later.

Your better off staying away from the T3 style turbo's as they usually make your skyline slower then what the standard turbo can offer (old trim types and bush bearings)

I put a VL turbo on my car with a T4 front wheel with a .64 rear housing and it made the car slower.

So be carefull when playing with these types of turbos on skylines.. I would go for a GCG highflow or a HKS style BB turbo for best results.

i think it will boost real real quick, then it'll choke up top due to not enough flow through the exhaust.. just what i think will be the outcome.

remember that the rb30 has more exhaust gases due to the increased capacity.. so the 5000rpm example would be lower on a RB30DET

yeah exactly... but no mention of cams..

i have the 1.12 housing on a HKS GT3040 on a std rb25 with tomei cams.. im getting full boost at 4700rpm

where as i have seen a GT30 turbo with a 0.84 reach full boost at the same rpm without cams..

Col - thats what im hoping to get full boost at once my rb30 is finished.

if your building an engine and have very detailed specs and plans why would u rely on guess work for the turbocharger? dont choose an unknown spec t04 old skool compressor. learn to read compressor maps, work out what airflow you'd like depending on your application and choose a turbo that suits your requirements. that will take out the guess work and disappoint of a sucky combination (read expensive and lacking what you want). but imho the rear sounds too small, i'd expect it to come on instantly and drop off very quicky.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
