damn really thats awesome ive been to one tuner here in perth and said nothing but negative comments about the turbo so i got a bit worried and made this post they said i will have endless problems with boost, do you have any problems with boost and can iask what other supporting mods u were running with this turbo

The int gated housings are only new to the market... i'd sad hardly anyone would have one on there car

so there will be no results as such.

If it performs like the ext gate version (which it should) then there is a zillion threads about those :(

you have to order a 1 bar canister for the gcg gt30 for the internal wastegate actuater or a hks one , otherwise she will struggle to hold much over 17psi of boost. that is why external wastegated gt30 are better than internal wastegates. i should know ive run both on my rb25.

Just like the XR6 turbo (as they are essentially the same turbine housing but running a smaller wheel).

Throw a decent actuator on it rated close to the boost you intend to run.

Its silly to use a 6-7psi actuator when you intend to run 12psi+.

supporting mods needed:

-aftermarket ecu

-aftermarket injectors (nismo 550 or 740cc direct bolton fit for r33 rb25)

-aftermarket fuelpump (i see ur looking at getting a 044 fuel pump, i would say go for something like nismo or tomie as they are direct bolton takes not more than 30mins to install one)

you should also consider buying some rims if you only have stock rims (reason why is with aftermarket rims you can run larger tyre size which can help with traction)

Aftermarket clutch

and if you have money left over, good shock and spring setup, camber kit for the rear (so u can get rid of that negative camber when u lower the car), good brake pad upgrade ....

good luck!

gt30 seems alittle big for me thou ..

ps check ur topic in wa about pfc, as i can help

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
