Hi all,

Im thinking of changing the front and cartridge of my turbo to a GT35R as the rear housing that i have is the same on both the GT3076 and GT35R? Correct?

Ive been looking for a Anti surge cover for it and the only ones i can find are the hole type like the T04Z and Turbonetics GTK turbos.

Is there a surge slot cover in .70 similar to the .60 on the GT3076?

Do they make this style of surge slot cover for the GT35Rpost-32255-1229854877.jpg

O.T exactly wat is the significance of having the surge cover. does it work ineffect so u can safely "dose" ????????

Its to limit surge on a turbo. Dose is for fully hectik VL drivers who want to blow their turbos up.

The hot side is quite different on a GT35R I'd imagine, its definitely a bigger wheel... why do you want the surge slots?

Tial did a GT35R with a GT30R looking cover, though if you are going for a decent upgrade and want the nice whistle etc etc why don't you just trend set and go a GT4088R? They are pretty awesome turbos, there are some nice twin scroll manifolds out there and you're not going to have to upgrade in a huge hurry. You can obviously tolerate a bit more lag and obviously the amount of power you made with the GT30R wasn't enough, so do it right :down:

I have a secret agenda of course, I want to see what a GT40R would be like on a R33.... but meh :)

The GT30 and GT35 have the same 84mm trim at the back so assume the housing would be the same.

EDIT: Hmm the wheel is 8mm bigger on the GT35R, might need to find out if they are the same.

I have been in a few cars with GT35R and none of them have the sound of a GT3076.

Those who have GT3076 know what im talking about.

Thing is im stuck with the rear housing and want to know if a cartridge and front cover will fit. (GT35R)

I have the surge slots on my GTRS so i know where your coming from about them sounding good on full spool. Best one i've heard is a T04Z on a 2J.

If GCG is still open, give them a call tomorrow morning and ask them, surely they would know. I've however never seen a surge cover for a .70 housing GT35R so not sure if you can get your hands on one.

Me either, i guess ill have to tune the car on E85 and put 2bar through my GT3076 :down:

Ill give GCG a call tomorrow,fingers crossed they are open.

my 2530 has the surge slots and its got a higher pitch whistle on spool, sounds good, but id love to see how the 3076r sounds when i get it installed in the next month or so...

You will love it!

Called GCG,

They have a new GT35 surge slot cover released for 2009.

Its only in the US at the moment GCG are ordering them in, in the new year.

Have to way up prices for the conversion, might just buy one outright.

John at Turbo Supplies in Townsville did my Turbonetics front cover. Fair bit of work.... CNC machine would be nice once programmed.

The slot inside sits just on the tip of the second smaller blades. Id post up a pic but at work.

As I said, GT35 and GT30 are completely different hot sides. Trim is just the ratio between inducer and exducer - the fact that the GT30 and GT35 are both 84trim just means that the GT35 could well just be a scaled up version of the GT3076R turbine wheel, or something like that.

I very much know what you mean by the GT3076R induction sound :( There are people around the town I am in who think my car has a T51R on it. GT4088Rs do it very nicely too...

Any port shrouded turbo can make the sonic shriek , the thing that gets around it is the bell mouthed insert like HKS uses on their GT3037S turbos , Holset sometimes uses them as well .

The sound is sonic vibration caused by the splitter blades inducer tips being partially exposed at the slot .

GT3582R turbos are really a Garrett hybrid , they use a compressor housing intended for T04S turbos .

Of all the GT25BB center section turbos the 3582R's turbine shaft is unique in that the section where the compressor wheel fits over is slightly larger in diameter than the GT2554R to GT3082R BB range .

I'm not really sure if size for size (A/R ratio) GT30 and GT35 turbine housing castings are the same . Garretts always said they are outline interchangeable so it's not impossible that they machine them out larger for the 3582R .

Be a bit careful with the Garrett large frame plain bearing GT type compressor housings because often they are 0.54/0.58/0.65/0.72 etc A/Rs but of the GT40 family not T04S like GT3582Rs use .

The housing family is really based on the compressor backplates diameter and offset , actually the compressor wheel offset and bore size is also different between a BB GT3582R and say a GT bush bearing GT3776/GT3782/GT4082 .

Garrett actually modified 82mm GT40 compressors for their GT3582R and HKS spec "GT3240R" (56T and 54T) , the bore size is smaller and they've machine the back of the wheel to have a less prounounced tulip shape .

Also they machine most of the hexagon off the front of the wheel so a lock or jamb nut can be fitted to suit the thread on the small frame BB style turbine shaft .

Really the small and big frame GT turbos are worlds apart , I have a big frame GT3576 56T turbo I must get some pics of and post . The housings are 0.65 and I think 1.18 but they are HUGE next to a GT3582R's .

Cheers A .

BTW Bretts on the money , Garrett are starting to produce a factory port shrouded 0.70 A/R T04S housing for the GT3582R and no doubt he'll get them in soon .

Lastly don't forget that PS housings cost a few points of compressor adiabatic efficiency so they can be a slight step backwards if the thing is not surging , like most solutions they are a compromise with surge being the greater of the two evils .

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
