Garrett are saying that they will release the TR30R turbochargers for sale to anyone with the bucks . I would not expect everyone to rush out and buy a turbo with inconel and magnesium housings as well as the CNC machined from billet compressor wheels . Very deep into ouch territory .

All the vulture at Planet Potato cares about is that we may at last be able to get our sticky hands on that yummy 60mm NS111 turbine that TR30R's have in either 76 or 73 trims . This is the missing link in the currently laggy GT30XXR saga and together with the billet wheels (cast for general use) could make for turbos with little lag and strong mid range torque .

Ever noticed how you mostly see power graphs of turbo engines where the Hp numbers are higher than the torque figures in foot pounds ? The good news is that in the recent past any way WRC power figures seemed to float around 300+ horsepower and 460+ ft pounds of torque . Wouldn't that be a hoot in your Skyline ?

Don't they run restrictors in the WRC cars which is probably why hp is down realtive to the torque. I think they also run a round inlet on the turbine housing so throw in the cost of a new manifold as well.

Hi all , I don't have a price figure but I suspect it would be quite a few thousand .

They are based around the GT25 BB centre section so cartridge wise I don't think it would be real difficult to use the turbine/bearing cartridge and compressor wheel in the production bearing housing . Once you do this current GT30 turbine housings fit the hot side and the adapter ring/backplate/compressor housing fit the cold side . Production housings (both) would need to be profiled to suit the different wheels but thats not a biggie - for Garrett or the aftermarket .

Competition turbos like these often have V band fasteners because it makes them quick to remove at service intervals during an event . The high tech materials used make them light and also high temp resistant .

The rally people I speak to reckon its common practise to dump a bucket of water over these things to be able to get at them after hard use .

Most of us roadies don't need this kind of durability so the production turbos use more affordable materials .

Restrictors , yes and thats much of the reason that a lot of development went into these turbos . Its a big ask to make a lot of torque from a 2L four that runs out of puff at ~ 5200-5500 because of the air restrictor . The anti lags systems do help initially but that creates an extremely harsh environment for the turbo to cope with heat wise .

Cheers A .

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
