T3 Flange is what we want right ?? But need external gate on the manifold - means hacking existing manifiold or fabricating a new one - in which case the flange spec don't matter cause you wil be fabricating a new one anyhoo.

Sounds expensive.....

You mean this one Jimbo ??

That's not Merli's - I doub't Andrew would seperate :

This is the GT3040 that CGC sells - but in a package with standard (modified) manifold and external TIAL gate.

Pretty pricey - and I wouldn't use the standard manifold......

I'm a little concerened with lag - as I understand anything over about 600HP is getting up there in the lag stakes.

I suppose one could just keep the revs over 4000RPM - then no lag problem right ?

B-man,

fyi, the two turbos which GCG list as "GSB8005A" & "GSB8006" are actually two totally different turbo cores as per Ray Hall's website. the specs are as follows;

i) GT30 (GSB8005A - 700177-0011) : Rated at 475hp

* A/R 0.70 comp housing

* 52 trim compressor wheel (TO4S - 2.17"/3.00")

* 50 lbs/min max. comp flow

* A/R 0.82 exhaust housing

* 90 trim exhaust wheel (2.11"/2.22")

ii) GT30 (GSB8006 - 700177-0014) : Rated at 600hp

* A/R 0.70 comp housing

* 64 trim compressor wheel (GT40 - 2.41"/3.22")

* 65 lbs/min max. comp flow

* A/R 1.06 exhaust housing

* 84 trim exhaust wheel (2.16"/2.36")

the 2nd unit would be what is considered the Garrett GT3040 as it uses the 64 trim compressor wheel from the GT40 family along with the A/R 1.06 exhaust housing to allow for great air/gas flow.

Any smaller exhaust housing would make it more streetable although max power would be limited due to exhaust flow restriction with the smaller housing.

cheers.

No they don't, all Garrett GT30 turbos and higher are T3 exhaust flange.

The HKS GT3040 turbo uses a GT25 flange. Some HKS turbo come in T3, some with GT25, check it out here:

For those who care, this is the difference between HKS GT3040 and Garrett GT3040, HKS just Garrett parts mixed up in various combos, with proprietary housing designs:

HKS:

Rated at 500hp

* A/R 0.70 comp housing

* 50 trim compressor wheel (58mm/82mm)

* A/R 1.12 exhaust housing GT25 flange

* 84 trim exhaust wheel (60mm/55mm)

Garrett:

Rated at 550-600hp, depending on exhaust A/R

* A/R 0.7 comp housing

* 64 trim compressor wheel (61.3mm/82mm)

* A/R between 0.82-1.06 exhaust housing T3 flange

* 84 trim exhaust wheel (60mm/55mm)

Check the number of blades and the actual design of the compressor/turbine. It's a bit more than just mix n' match from a Garrett spare parts bin.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
