Nope.One is a 3040 the other a 3540

3040 is about a 600hp turbo

3540 up to about 750hp depending on housings.

Wouldnt go smaller than an .82 on a RB30

3040's come in 500, 550, 600 depending on the compressor wheel chosen (different part number) :)

I had a 600hp one, others i know have a 500hp one

I agree 150%, perfect turbo for the 25/30 still giving great response with good peak and a stonking midrange

yup im agreeded guys. thanks for every ones input. was of great help.

now its 2 grand investment time lol

I dont think you can go wrong with anything around the GT35 range (either a GT3540 or something slightly smaller, GT3240), they will easily give you the power you want (rated around 600-700HP) and beyond and being a 3L this gives you the displacement to spool it up quickly.

Quick edit: Just noticed you have 500cc injectors, are they actually 500cc or nismo 555cc injectors? Either way, if you want to go much over 300, say 330ish, id probably recommend 740cc injectors just so you arent running the 500cc on such a high duty cycle.

i'd have to agree on both, especialy running a 30 block

im running twin garretts 35/40 one hiflowed the other standard, and bosh 740cc injectors on a low impedance.

rb30/26dett head.

My 2 cets worth, GT35/40 heaps of them around as they are the ones on BA Falcons, proven to make obscene power. I was going to put on of these on my VLT, i think they rock just just my opinion tho

hmm then gt3540 is whats on Eastons r31 black pearl drift car... cause i know he is running an xr6 turbo...

i know that things goes hard too . it seems most ppl are recomending very similar turbo

yer i will be using bosch injectors as my bro ownes the dealer down here

ok im guessing these are essentially the same turbo with different exhaust housing sizes???

one is .82 and one is .61???

will the .82 mean more lag?????

hey mate, just to clarify for you the 3540 and 3582 are the same thing. Steer clear of the xr6 turbo, boost control is a nightmare with them i found

Thanks DCIEVE

Yes i have worked out they are the same thing lol. too bad no one else could put it so simply lol.

Spoke to "un named" seller today and i can get trade price of $1600 for a new gt3540 with the .82 exhaust housing...

Hows this price???

need to get manifold too, he quoted 900 which is a bit excessive so ill keep looking.

peoples thoughts...???

are we talking internal gate or external?

i asume ext.

what brand was the manifold?

yes externally gated.

unsure on the mainfold brand!

having a look on ebay and stuff but looks like home made crap. ill find a decent one for a good price if i persist :wub:

HKS 3037 or TO4Z...

wtf?

how can u recommend a HKS GT3037 and then go and recommend a t04z

both turbos are no where near each other so how can u recommend one and then the other??

like if u said GT35R and t04z its abit more understandable

IMO

for a Rb30 / 25 setup and aiming for 300rwkw i would recommend the GT35 with .82 exhaust housing

this would be a very responsive setup

DO NOT go any smaller then a .82 exhaust housing on a 3L engine!

Well you wouldn't promote Garrett now would you?

Your aware of your warning, if your just here to plug your parts, ill send you on a holiday

LOL +1

Yup as i have heard also. This being due to internal gate i do believe?

Ive gone externally gated.

$1600 aint bad. I was looking at paying $2200 back a couple of years ago, that was for an internally gated one.

Yup $2200 is still about right for retail but i got a work account with the peeps im goin through :cheers:

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
