Alright sorry if this has been talked about before but I have done a search found some info but not what I’m after.

1st of all My car is not a skyline its a lancer

Anyway to the question what is Wrong with a gt3040? I have been advised it is a miss matched turbo how so and how does this effect Power/Lag and so on? As im trying to decided a turbo for my car and I was thinking a gt3040 .63AR (gt3082) would be best for what I want but after reading that it has put me off a bit.

I have also read that a GT3076R-15 .82AR Is rated at the Same power as a GT3040 but has less Lag does this mean also less power up top? And last on the list anyone using a GT3240?

The Engine mods on my car include

HKS 2.3L stroker (been advised by HKS it will REV to a max of 9500rpms with head mods) my RPM limit will be set at 9000rpms MAX but more at the 8500 mark

HKS kansai intake manifold

Cams? Unknown what ones yet looking at 270s maybe 280s depends on turbo choice

Plus a list of other mods but there the main big ones

And the car is being built for Tarmac rally’s / super lap / Track events

Sorry if it such a noob question it just I have read about 8 different forums in regards to these turbos and have not really gotten anywhere other then getting confused to what turbo I should buy

thanks in advanced

Alright

look at it this way its a R33 GTST

whats the diff between the turbos i have listed is there anything wrong with the GT3040

i have read evom lancer registry and evooz the turbos techsport get are FP 20g wheel there good if you want around 260kw at all fours im not after what turbo is best for my car Just after info inregards to

GT3076R-15 .82AR << will this turbo still make boost at 8500rpms? anyone running this on there R33 GTST? or even R32GTST?

GT3040 What is this miss matched turbo i keep reading about what makes this a "bad" turbo

and GT3240 Is anyone running this at all?

there the choice in the turbos im going i just want to know if people can give me info in regards to the turbo not if it good for my car or not

hope that clears things up a bit?

And i may be going a twin scroll kit But been told they drop off up in the rev range so reading inregards to this as i may get a full race turbo kit setup

R33 is 10 years old at best :)

Evo's use split pulse manifold, therefore keep with that and go a split pulse turbo.

Garrett dont make a split pulse housing that small i believe so you'll need something that does.

So again, something out of the US (where they are frantic about EVO's) or something from someone like Techsport (who've just recently released a new turbo, and are right into EVO motorsport here in Vic)

Twin scroll does not drop off. Its a turbo, its just running outta puff, a single scroll would too.

evo 6 is a 9 years old, omg makes them sound crappy

i have been reading more lancer registry stuff then evoM, as evoM every one seems to be into drag evos and running gt35s or bigger where as LR seem to be track racers and rally people i dont care about i have read all forums i have spent hours on each one reading there turbo sections and searching info

all i wanted info on was the turbos them self as who cares what car it is on just want a bit more info on the 3 turbos i listed

And i wouldt go to techsport if they where the last mechanics on earth mods may want to edit that as i dont know if i can say that or not

As far as modern turbo's go, a 30/40 is a bad combo, too small hot side compared to the compressor gives it poor throtle response, then choked the top end. What power are you looking at making? About to undertake doing up an evo V11 for a mate, and the stock turbo/s are good for 240awkw, above that and i would just be getting a big 16G or 20G

OK one of my mates has an EVO 2 which in an earlier stage of its life was running a .82a/r GT3040 (GT3082R they're called these days) on a 2litre 4G63 which he ended up changing up to a .82a/r GT3582R. I never went in the car with the GT3082R but the GT3582R is surprisingly useable and he believes he should have just gone straight to that - definitely never looked back. He uses the car for track and hillclimb events and is always at the very pointy end of the field. The car feels quite NAish up to around 3000rpm but after that it starts piling on boost quite quickly and by 4500rpm it is fair honking along. It currently uses a 272/280 Kelford cam combination and makes good power up to ~8500rpm.

If you want to make good power up to those revs I'd be inclined to think a GT3582R is really what the doctor ordered for you too, almost everyone in NZ seem to go for those and again - the fastest time attack EVOs in NZ (and there are a LOT of hard tuned EVOs here) are running GT3582Rs, the fastest one I know of took out the two "Superlap" events we've had here and did that on an HKS 2.3litre :)

The GT3076R will make really good power, in my opinion go either a GT3076R or a GT3582R - a GT3082R is a pointless in between which isn't sure of what it wants to be.

Thanks for the help from what im lead to believe the HKS GT3240 is just that a GT3582R thanks for the info guys and thanks for giving me the info on the GT3040 :) i have made the choice and a nice big turbo is on the shopping list and i guess i will run prob run the hks 272cams maybe push it up to 280s we will see

and in response to the big 16g evo 4 and above came out with a big 16g stock i believe well i have a big 16g on at the moment and it maxed out at 242 at all fours the next step is 20g and that maxes out at about 260 - 270 unless on race fuel and huge boost then you can look at 300kw

thanks for the help in regards to the Turbo’s them self as that is all i needed to know not really how well they would be on a evo but that was a bonus

All the turbos above come in a kit for the evo

you can even get a BOLT on gt35kit that will use stock manifold

you can also get Twin scroll GT30 and GT35 kits for the evo from full race

evo%20ts%20engine%20bay.jpg

the only downside to there kit well I think it is a downside is the whole Twin Wastegate setup

There is everything out for the evo in kit form You name the turbo good chance you can buy it in a kit as like i said USA = DRAG RACERS and euro RALLY CARS and JAPAN curcuit

GT3240 is used on the HKS Carbon fiber evo CT230 i think the cars name is (was all carbon running a 3076 now all red running a 3240)

i think i have narrowed the choice down to a 3240 and a 3582 the 3240 from HKS as a kit Or i will go the 3582 From fullrace or BR racing (br racing only use one wastegate)

    • 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).
