All I can say is Ben, I didnt compromise, I got the 3037:p and all up fitted with HKS wastegate, manifold and all associated pipework, ceramic coating and braded lines it will be under 6k.

Rob, have you spoken to the guys at Per4manz Turbochargine - they were doing packages fully fitted for 5k about a year ago - pretty sure they were very capable of the sort of power you are after.

the gt30 seems very popular for the garret turbos. The gt35 is far to big for street. You can however get places like ray hall to change the front and rear wheels so your turbo does spool up sooner.

going for a custom job means that you get exactly what you want.

Going for a brand name you cant really go changing it as it isn't really worth it, as the cost u pay is a fare bit.

and remember you got for the garret turbo over the name brand you are getting it brand new, not second hand.

i'd also like to know what the gt30 goes like on a rb25

Has any one got any experience with these on the RB25 i.e where they make full boost etc?

with that 1 u need to buy adaptor plate, ext wastegate and oil line kit!

The greenline kit is nearly 7k, the rx6 kit is a bit cheaper (by about 1k). I actually got the turbo from www.fvej.com, also got a hks wastegate for 290aud second hand in perfect conditon.

The rest is being custom made. I was supposed to be putting the car in last sat to get it all done this week, but the guy is sick so I'll have to wait.

Wouldnt be able to get a proper power figure up for a while anyways, as I have a head gasket and cams coming from japan, but they are on back order, plus I have to get my injectors and fuel pump fitted and a tune, so it will probably be a while yet:(

If you hunt around, you can get the bits cheaper than buying a kit - still waiting for a final figure (dont like setting price for custom work until its over - that way you dont get corners cut:) ) I have been given a rough price though - acutally be closer to 5 than 6 fitted - so you can save a quid.

With regards to fitting a GT30 500hp Unit on a RB Motor.

It normally comes off the shelf with a big comp cover and an externally ‘gated exhaust housing BUT….

I can do it with a .63 integral wastegate and a TO4B .60 comp cover that is a bit smaller. It will then all bolt on to your manifold and all is sweet.

Price is $2695.

If your interested I have been selling a lot of GT28’s with bigger (500hp) comp wheels fitted, these come integrally ‘gated and will be more responsive due to the smaller turbine wheel than the GT30. I have adapter kits to go from T25/28 to T3.. pic attached. Flange adapter kit is $150, GT28 500hp hybrid is $2295.

As I am chasing a turbo for my RB30 soon this is the reply I received from Tim @ Horsepowerinabox.

Joel, for a 3 litre, these turbos (from Per4manz in WA) have been used with huge success on 2jz motors, and very good on rb25 too. I would have got one if my 3037 didnt come up at the right price :) Basically a GT35 with GT30 turbine housing, externally gated

Most of the turbos we use come on boost @ 3-3500rpm for the serious hp applications or even sooner for street combinations.

 

Last 2 rb25's that I have done have made 320hp @ 1 bar (std engine) and 400hp @ 1.3bar (modified) at the wheels.

 

Can only supply propriety compressor maps and these don't have much detail (surge limits & max flow only) The gt35s flow @ around 80% efficiency @ 1 bar depending on a lot  of variables

 

Cost of one of these is $2477 inc gst

Edit: those adaptors look like turbulence city

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
