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

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
