They use GT30R's on alot of drift cars. So if your aiming for 280kw, I think the GT30 is a good choice. i plan on running mine at 255-265kw range and I think it will do the job. Z32, injectors, ecu next week on thursday and im tehre after a tune.

Racecars are not good examples.

DA cars dont see the street. So they have no need for driveability, low rpm response isnt as important.

The tunes dont matter as much below certain RPM generally. Among all the other things that dont compare to a street driven car

You dont want the 600hp GT30. I tell you that right now.

It doesnt spool as well as the smaller ones simply because the largest blade GT30 wheel, whilst it flows a lot, but takes a while to get going.

Its not what you want for a stocker engine. It wont be on boost (~17-20psi) till 4500rpm on the street. Simple as that.

If you "must" sit in the GT30 range, you want the smallest offering. The 500hp wheel'd option.

The 600hp GT30 with the big banger wheel will push around 300rwkw (400rwhp) without too much hassle, but dont expect a lot more from it.

30rwkw extra at the most on pulp. Thats largely dependant on how happy the dyno is aswell.

So you want 400rwhp now? Being you really havent thrown a number out anywhere.

You really should get in a 400rwhp car and you'll see its more than a handful for the street, its more traction nasty than friendly which doesnt make for a quick streeter.

lol. You have to "clutch it". Thats a way to move forward fast while your fighting wheelspin.

what are you talking about....boost at 4500 i have a gt3040 .63 ex on my engine no cams.....and i hit full boost at 3800

Man i wish i had all this info when i was looking for a turbo, for a street car theres no need to go for anything past a highflow or a direct fit GTRS or something T25/28 based, like everyone else said response is what you want for a street car, why would you want a lag monster?

You cant go past a direct bolt on for $$ and for performance... standard manifold is fine just look at setups and results from all the other forum members, and if you don't plan on opening up the motor i wouldn't go for a GT30 besides as soon as its spotted by the cops/epa your in for big $$... its just not worth it if its just a street car. If you go track/drift/drag car then i'd understand but its only a st car...

Seriously, listen to the people with experience (i wish i did) save yourself a motor and save yourself some $$ and headf**ks.

True, but I think my GT30R hybrid turbo is great, off boost and on. And regency, IMO tougher from what I hear than any other state, cannot spot them easily at all since its in a RB25 Turbo's hiflowed casing.

It's a good street turbo-kit I got and I think it will be fine at my intended use for it after next thurs & after injectors and Z32 (14-16psi).

You do not have the 600hp version if you have a .63 rear end.

The 600hp is a .82 only as its not possible to get the flow through the small rear

You have the one with the smaller of the comp wheels.

oh fair enough then my bad lol, but the 3040 with the .63 is a weapon of a turbo i love it

A couple of posts up he said full boost by 3,800rpm.Sounds good.Damn,I can`t decide between hksGTRS or 3040 .63 or 3076 or 3071.I do know that I have spent a lot of time and money on my GCG hiflow and still have 220rwkw.

Dan is the man!

Thats about the power im lookin for 240kw - 250kw

Good spool up time thanks to the .63 rear end, 3200rpm to full boost at 3800rpm

And the best thing is the low boost, Less stress on the turbo and the engine.

The GT3040 and GT3076 are the same price at this place i looked, and even on the garret website, so they aint trying to push me for more money on this one. If anything they'd tell me to get the less powered one and wait for me to come back lookin for more power if they wanted me to spend more.

my 2 cents ,having driven gcg 450hp hi flow , gt3076 500 hp turbo with a/r .63 internal wastegate and my current set up gt3040 600hp turbo with a/r .82 exhaust housing.

gcg 450p hi flow gave me 230rwkws on 20 psi at 3200rpm. heaps on low end and midrange a great street turbo.

gt3076 500hp turbo gave me 260rwkws on 20 psi at 3500rpm / 3800rpm. three weeks later the engine let go. then i had the engine rebuilt with forged internals and with the addition of tomei poncams step 1s , she pulled 281rwkws on 22psi this was with 8.5 to 1 compression instead of standard 9 to 1. this combination pulled high 12s down the quarter with crap 2.2second 60 footers on street tyres and 112 mph. a great compramise between street and strip!

gt3040 600hp turbo with .82 a/r exhaust housing, tial 38mm external wastegate and highmount manifold plus ported head now gives me 274 rwkws on 15/17 psi and 347 rwkws at 4400rpm fullboost but you feel the kick in the pants from 4000rpm. yet to try this combo out on the dragstrip but i can tell you that from 4400rpm to 4600rpm the power goes from like 168 rwkws to 268 rwks and its breaks traction 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th gear!!! very peaky bitch in deed. luckily though i can turn the boost down from 24psi 347rwkws down to 15psi 274 rwkws and she doesnt come onto boost as hard. hope this help you out, cheers carl.

jeeze u dont have good luck do you?

Well the engines that come out of Slide's shop are known as the Widow Makers.

I know of 3 other people that have had a rebuild and when done with their new turbo setup they have crashed them aswell. :laugh:

2 possible reasons

Me and the other 3 people cant drive (my fault for the crash and from what i heard from the others definately theirs)

Or

The engines they build are posessed by the devil and make too much power to handle by any man.

Im sticking to the 2nd lol ;)

Allthough they havnt killed anyone yet if it wasnt for my airbag i probably would be lol

ery peaky bitch in deed. luckily though i can turn the boost down from 24psi 347rwkws down to 15psi 274 rwkws and she doesnt come onto boost as hard. hope this help you out, cheers carl.

Is it possible to get a fancy boost controller that bleeds the boost so it comes on in a more linear fashion ?

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
