from what ive hurd on here you would be looking at about 4000 b4 boost

Consider the GT3540 .63? I'm sure SAU needs a guineepig. :laugh:

If you have a look at garretts turbine maps you will notice the GT35r .63 and the GT30r .82 have similiar flow/pressure values. I'm not completely sure and won't be for a long time but to myself the GT35r .63 I feel is a better option over the GT3040r .82 as the larger gt35r turbine wheel provides more shaft torque to drive the compressor.

I would be interested to see if any one has gone the gt35r .63 route over the gt3040r .82.

I'm a little scared of lag to be honest. I wouldn't go any bigger than a gt3071r on an rb25 but that also means reduced power output. :)

GT35 - .82 = boost (15-17psi) after 4500rpm or possibly even later than that,l its a 700hp turbo for gods sake.

Before that dont expect anything special and it will be quite lazy about town :)

DOnt get a GT35, get a GCG hi-flow or something similar if you want response

That is wright it doesnt come on til about 4000rpm i run one on my R33, ive been told you can put a smaller rear housing on it which would bring it down a bit. But for round town driving it pretty good you can still drive normally without ur BOV going off every time you go through the gears and when you want the power it comes on hard.

My .82 GT35R hits full boost (15psi) at 4600rpm.

FJ20ET stock, not mine (mine is FJ20E :P), full boost 18 psi at 4750rpm and 1 bar a 4500rpm. Mine same thing though 25 psi at 4750rpm. Running 0.82 housing.

Being a 6 with 2.5L, probs around the 4500rpm mark. Woohoo, turbos dont usually make good power till before this rpm anyways. Youll be surprised as to how nice it is. But yeah response wont compare to GCG high flow. But get a 3540 :( I love it

Im running a GT35r with .63 a/r on my rebuilt Neo Rb25 and its not laggy at all. Mind you its has been rebuilt and hiflowed by GCG but yeh i am very impressed with the response and accelaration

The Gt35r turbine wheel is too large to fit in to any of the hitachi/garrett internal housings that I know of.

I would assume you are running external gate?

Well u must be mistaken as it is definately a gt35r in garret housings. Everything was modded. It was originally a t4 (specs unknown) and i got it rebuilt by gcg with ball bearing and hi flowed with .63 a/r. Spools up real quick

Yes running turbosmart ext wastegate and turbosmart supersonic bov (sleeper series) with an ebc on the way once it gets full tune

not taking the piss out of anyone, but i think the word 'hi-flow' really is being used quite a lot these days, sometimes for the wrong reason.

xxx_25L,

if you don't want too much lag, you can go with a GCG 'hi-flowed' turbo which will make things easier while fitting.

another option is a Garrett GT3071R with an A/R .82 exhaust housing which would be reponsive enough given the smaller compressor wheel, and plenty of flow given the A/R .82 exhaust housing.

So your definitely not running the usual RB style turbine housing.

It must be something along the lines of a VLT housing.

OR... have you miss-used the world 'highflow'? Highflow uses your origional turbine and comp covers.

As you are running an ext gate I think it would have been silly for GCG to machine up a T3 .63 when garrett sell a T3 .63. I think you will find it isn't a highflow but rather a good ol' genuine GT35r .63.

Got the receipt? Would be keen to see how they have worded this highflow which clearly isn't a highflow. :(

Ok to clear up...My original turbo WAS a T04 (specs unknown - roughly rated at 450hp ) I got gcg to convert it to a gt3540r using my original housings...you comprehend???

Below - quote by Michael Ramsay from an email.

"The GT3540R core swap is about a 6 hour job, where adaptors plates need to be welded and machined and tapped to the turbine housing, and some extensive machining and modification is required.

The GT35R Conversion - Rated between 600 & 650 using customers housings.

Kind Regards

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
