Yea but im sure that rb30 was build to handle 30+Psi lol

Can front wheels and covers be swapped over like rear ones?

Yes they can but you will find it is a very expensive exercise! Rear housing from Garret from memory was $600+

And yes +1 to a .63 housing being way to small on a 3L it will choke up for sure IMHO it is a bit of a misfit size in the Garrett range...

The .82 is not too bad on a stock RB25 more suited to a built motor but it will be a good balance between not having to buy a new turbo when you get the 3L cause a .82 on a 3L is a response monstor :domokun: I personally have a 1.06 rear on my 3L and wouldnt have it any other way as it feds on the power so nicely. Also I might add mine is internal gate and am having no problems with boost control 7psi actuator and a Turbosmart T and holds dead on 15psi.

And is it definately internal gate?

hahaha

Thanks for the info guys, For now i think im going to wire the Internal Gate shut, Mod my manifold to house an external gate and still use the .63 rear. I like it at the moment how i can cruise around at the moment like everything is normal but flat foot it off the line in first and it doesn't break traction. If the .63 generates too much heat ill put an external gate rear .82 housing on the turbo and keep it that was until i wack it on a 3L.

Thanks for the Info.

Hey guy,

I think 'the mafia" did a gt30 with a .63 rear end. Search for his threads. I dunno if you're already onto it, but it makes for a good read.

Also, just something I would consider if I was in your shoes... Why don't you use the GT35 with a ext gate setup until you get your 3.0l

from what everyone on hear says, the ext gate spools the turbo quicker, and then you have an upgrade path. You may or may not want a .82 rear house when you 3.0l, but that's then, not now.

You have the XR6T version yeah? with the 0.50 front cover?

How does that affect compressor flow?

I do but also have a .7 cover

There is no noticeable difference between the .5 and .7 without changing the tune, might get some gains when it gets retuned though...

I have found that bigger turbo's with low boost make heaps of wastegate air. So if the gate is too small, and or the waste gate dump is to small, the issue comes where the gate cannot dump enough gas to stop the turbo from spooling up.

yea we figured that one out, going external gate so will resolve that...I was talking more of whether the .63 rear can flow enough through it to cope with the gt35 front cover and the volume of air its producing to not create too much heat.

If i were in your predicament, i would seriously consider selling it and buying a proper matched turbo. As you seem aware, a 3082 is behind the 8 ball, as teh ex wheel is too small to generate enough torque to accelerate the rotating mass quickly. And by using a .63 exhaust, it is partially alliviating that, but adding high backpressure to the equation. I would be fitting a .82 3076, as IMO it is the ideal turbo for an rb25 after 280-300rwkw. Even if you fit the rb30 (which i dont think you will need to)the same turbo can be used, and fry the tyres up to the legal speed limit with more response than you can poke a stick at. If you feel you must have more than 300rwkw, then bite the bullet and get a real gt35r, with a .82internal or you can get away with an external gate .63, but i believe on pump fuel the exhaust backpressure will limit the power to far less than the comp wheel is capable of making. We need something between a gt30 and gt35!

i find this topic interesting....

Just incase anyone cares...

my gt35 with .63 rear isn't as laggy as you'd originally expect.

3000rpm = 0.56bar 8psi

3500rpm = 0.82bar 12psi

4000rpm = 1.04bar 15psi

Once external gate is fitted should be fairly good.

Just hoping the .63 rear doesn't choke up the gt35 housing too much in the top end. For the conservative boost ill be using it shouldn't.

^^ thats fairly laggy IMO.

I had my GT30 .82 on by 4200rpm and was over 15psi and make more power than you will be able too :yucky:

500rpm to get that last 3psi once spooling is indicative of the large compressor side

after 4k the boost sky rockets but thats when i back off, yet to see what it does after that.

yea but at the end of the day, It's all about experimenting....gimme a break...i just spend 2k on this turbo, gotta stay positive hehe.

I'm not doin it to beat anyone else...doin if for my own thrills.

It's fairly laggy i know but off boost it drives great and doesn't break traction which is what i was after.

    • 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).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
