Budget $4k, Goal 300kw, Turbo?

[DREMEN]

what do you want your turbo to do.  

As in when do you want boost etc etc ?

It will be used as a everyday street car so I will need boost down low...

Around the 3500rpm mark.... yeah so I want early boost...

HKS GT2530.

There's no argument there. This one is the goods. Just need T28 adapter plate.

COOL

What sort of $$$ am I looking at?

And where should I go to get one?

(Western Sydney Area)

[Sydneykid]

Have a look in the for sale section... there's always one for sale.

New ones are $4400 from GCG Turbos at Condell Park. www.gcg.com.au

GT2530 $4092

HOLY ****ING SHIT!!!!

So I guess 2nd hand would be the way to go?

[DREMEN]

What about this:

Ben,

Thank you for your enquiry, we can do a high flow to your turbocharger but it is a little more involved than a standard turbocharger, this is due to the fact that your turbocharger is ball bearing and has a ceramic turbine shaft. The rebuild / hi flow we carry out to these unit are as follows:-

Turbine Wheel - replaced and upgraded with a inconel(steel) wheel , either stage 1 or 2

Compressor Wheel - replaced and upgraded with T04 wheel, either stage 1 or 2

Bearing Pack - replace with an XTR ball bearing package

Turbine Housing - machine to accept either of the larger wheels

Compressor Housing - machined to accept either of the larger hi flow wheels

Wastegate Actuator - standard or upgradeable to have higher boost pressure as standard.

Costs - Stage 1 = $2250.00 Rated @ 400hp

Stage 2 = $2450.00 Rated @ 450hp, does require other mods i.e. intercooler, fuel, etc

These prices are for the turbocharger only, but remembering that in effect the turbocharger centre will be brand new and the turbocharger will bolt straight back onto the engine with all fittings.

I trust this answers you questions, please do not hesitate to email me again.

Regards

Yup stage 1 is the way to go if you ask me.

Now 'rated at 400hp' means that the engine will be limited to 298kw right? Regardless of what other mods u have ?

[DREMEN]

But 298kw @ engine isn't very much at wheels

About 215rwkw-230rwkw?

[raist60]

Your standard turbine housing will not let you flow enough gases to push past 200 rwkws.

Sorry better explain...

When they profile the housing to the wheel they are only opening up a small part of the housing, the actual size of the standard R33 turbo scroll is absolutely s**t house.

I dont think hi-flow is a very good option for 250rwkw...

Dremen if you are interested in going a GT30 i can FAX you a dyno plot, the reason why i cant post is coz i dont have a scanner.

[Sydneykid]

closer to 240.. ever driven a car with that much power?!

[raist60]

Sydneykid - Yeah my car. But my turbo originally had a GT30 COmp cover and centre with std turbine housing profiled for a GT30 rear wheel and it would not go past 200rwkws without pinging its tits off. Once i changed to 0.82 A/R housing no pinging 250rwkw.

Nope

At the moment I am running 179rwkw and thats not enough for my liking...

PM sent to raist60

[R31Nismoid]

true.

when they hi-flow (my understanding i could be wrong) is mill out the intake/front housing a little bit to get a better/bigger wheel into the front. They don't actually change the housings.

Don't know what they do about the exhaust. Maybe the same thing???

please correct me if i am wrong.

[T0nyGTSt]

It depends... I'm sure you could spend upwards of $3,000 fixing up the standard turbo two trim wheel sizes on exhaust and intake but it comes to a point where a 2530 or GT30 or whatever is a better choice.

[DREMEN]

When they highflow they do the following:

Turbine Wheel - replaced and upgraded with a inconel(steel) wheel , either stage 1 or 2

Compressor Wheel - replaced and upgraded with T04 wheel, either stage 1 or 2

Bearing Pack - replace with an XTR ball bearing package

Turbine Housing - machine to accept either of the larger wheels

Compressor Housing - machined to accept either of the larger hi flow wheels

Wastegate Actuator - standard or upgradeable to have higher boost pressure as standard.

'the reason why i cant post is coz i dont have a scanner.'

thats all u had to say instead of becoming the pms avenger!

[raist60]

Meh why bother, arguing is more fun

[DREMEN]

Come on guys... settle settle..... its all good

Lets get my car pumping out 250rwkw and then we can argue lol

Gimme a call then and i'll show u what 203rwkw is... a noticable difference from 192rwkw (after i got the exhaust done down at Cobra's). Still though i personally can't even feel the difference between 192 and 203 but im holding onto the steering wheel.

I think you'd have your balls in stitches after getting in a car with 240-250rwkw. No point aiming for any higher.

[raist60]

But you gotta remember that every time you get more power you get bored...

Never ending quest for power...
