So I recently destroyed my Garret GT30/71R (I think it sucked in a small dog or something).

Myturbo2.jpg

So instead of spending large amounts of cash rebuilding it, I am considering an upgrade...

I have the following mods done to my RB25DET:

- A'Pexi Power FC

- Splitfire coilpacks

- 550cc Sard injectors + 044 fuel pump

- Turbosmart Supersonic BOV

- JJR Front Mounted intercooler 300x600x76

- Trust Power Extreme ll 3" full exhaust

(I will also be installing a GReddy Profec B Spec ll boost controller)

Using the previous turbo the car made 240kw at the wheels, I would like to see it make 260 - 270kw on a safe tune.

I am looking for experienced peoples opinions on what turbo I should get.

I am also going to use the standard exhaust manifold so high mount and/or external gated turbos are out.

Any help will be much appreciated,

Thanks :)

In my original post I said that I am not looking for high mount and/or external gate... But thanks :P

sorry for my ignorance :P

well my friends R33 has a low mounted GT3040 on factory manifold and is making around 270kw at the wheels on around 1.3BAR with cams and PFC.

No problem :P

I didnt think that you could low mount a GT3040 (I thought that they were too big), but anyway... Would a turbo that size be very laggy? I dont have aftermarket cams in mine either.

no idea on how he got it to fit, he brought the car with the turbo previously installed. he gets full boost at around 5,500rpm.

i fit a TR43 (almost same size) on my RB20 low mounted. i had to grind back a millimeter of the manifold and rotate the turbo housings a couple degrees.

GT35... look below for my results...

I had my GT35 low mounted on my customised factory manifold...

if you want a big turbo it's a good choice...

Not bad at all, Im assuming that the GT35 is external gate?

Sounds like it could be an option, I think I would prefer to have something a bit more responsive though. The GT3071 had almost no lag at all :P

going the hks route will be very expensice but the 2835 pro is great.

Garret is the way to go but to get that power with a good setup you will need a external wastegate as the internal setup doesn;t work so well with the garret turbo's.

The turbo you have should do that.

So just rebuild it, problem solved. If you CANT make that power something isnt right with the setup.

The 3071 is the perfect choice!

GT3540?

Why put a 700hp turbo on a car thats only after less than 450hp? stupid suggestion

You can actually get them with internal gates, no problem there... however again, its a dumb turbo choice as is a GT3040 even in the 500hp form (with the smaller comp wheel)

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
