Hey guys need to upgrade my hairdryer....oh sorry my stock turbo on my rb25.....lol

Thinking of putting a gt3040r with a 0.63 rear housing so it can be more responsive. Searched it already but no luck.

Its a 600hp dual ball bearing turbo. Want to know how responsive its is and when full boost comes on?

Who ever has this info it would be most appreciated. Basically I want to increase my present 211.8rwkw to about to 260-270rwkw. HOWEVER, response and streetability is my first and foremost goal! Dont want a snail that has great peak power but poor low-mid range.

Any help would be great? I do not wish to hi flow coz its around the same for a new turbo these days.

pfc injectors, pump, z32 etc etc.

all needed anyway

i have the HKS version of the 3040

291rwkw on 18psi with poncams

i have the 1.12 rear housing, so fairly laggy at full boost at 5000rpm

without cams you will still get boost about 4000 rpm-ish with that housing.. cant say for sure,

If you think you need 'em for the 71, your gonna need 'em in spades for the 40.

You are right though!! :)

CAn you elaborate on this GT3071R

What size ex. A/R should i use?

What is it rated at?

Do i need a custom dump? How much?

How much is this turbo cost?

Is anyone running this turbo on a RB25? If yes please state mods and power made.

PS: I will put a pfc in with the upgrade and run about a bar of boost. I will in the future place some bigger injectors and z32 afm (or maybe pfc-jetro)

Thank You In advance!!!

I'd step down to the GT3076R (HKS GT3037 56 trim) or the GT3071 as mentioned. The GT3040R is a mismatch turbo and will be too laggy for your power targets.

I'd go one back again, 250-260rwkw is smack on the peak for the GCG Unit, and it gives insane response with great top end.

For the sake of having 250-260rwkw as opposed to 260-270rwkw (which can be attained by playing with dyno numbes if you need the sheet), i know what i'd choose for the RB25.

try doing some research, you have been handed some info on a good choice.

price will depend on where you get it

custom dump pipe = YES - depends where you get it made

response - go for the 0.64

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
