Hey Guys

I got this turbo that I am trying to work out what it is before i sell it.. (cannot sell it if i dont know what it is)

The owner said it was a GT40 from GCG, it has no gcg plates on it. Came with a massive 4" dump pipe and it was running sard 660cc injectors which will be for sale with the turbo and was making 400ish rwhp on 15psi.

Looks identical on the front as my GT35r and the rear looks to me as being a .71 rear housing off a VG30.

How do i tell for sure ? what kind of turbo it is, the rear wheels is definaly steel and its definatly ball bearing core ohhh and the rear wheel looks much much bigger then stock.

Can anyone help ? i need to know so i can sell this asap....

Cheers

It looks to me like a GT30/T04S turbo - 7/14 blade comp wheel . GT wheels are 6/12 for GT3076R and GT3582R .

A couple of things should give the game away .

1) Is it a ball bearing center ?

2) Does the outlet of the turbine housing measure ~ 55mm ?

3) I'd remove the compressor cover and measure the major diameter of the compressor wheel . T04S series are close to 76mm .

Also BTW the 0.70 A/R T04S compressor housing is std on GT35R's - AKA GT3582R's .

A .

yeah its a piece of work. it has a plate that adapts the dump to the turbo that has allen key bolts that are flush that holds it onto the turbo.

it made the power, its a bigger dump then whats on my car!

naah i'm running a 3582, it's different,

looks like a td04vh off a wrx looking at the rear half, flange, internal gate etc.

the inlet on the 3582's 103.6 ml

outlet 63 ml

T3 exhaust flange

or 25.

post-50030-1210584895_thumb.jpg

the a/r is 6.3 exhaust side, a/r 70 intake side

i appreciate your help but im know its not anything off a wrx. its a skyline rear housing.

im running a GT3582 as well and my compressor housing is the same

ive noticed garrett have 2 different types of A/R70 compressor housings

gotta vomit....

t04s compressor and compressor housing. probably what is being sold as a 3037 by HPIAB so the 10 blade later spec turbine which doesn't suit the comp and either a bored out VG30 housing or one of the after market .71's.

any marking on the exhaust housing? op6 etc?

Definitely a GT35 comp cover

Pity GT30/GT35 covers are the same, as with most .7A/R Garrett covers :P

Im with Disco - the 7-blade t04S wheel is a give away

It'll probably be the 500-550hp, probably ball bearing but IMO not worth that much as the new GT series 6 blades are a lot better

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
