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

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
