Just for the record.....

$2400 isnt cheap.... considering there on special...

RPM Performance centre in adelaide do the Garrett GT30 600HP DBB with 1.06A/R for there NORMAL price of $2250.

Man i got my GT3540 1.06 for $1980...

BRAND NEW, still had Garrett factory stamping on comp cover.

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.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
