I got a GT3540 with a 1.06 rear on my car, and ive got a GT3040 with .82 rear.

I was wondering if i was able to use the 1.06 rear and put it on the GT3040 ? what would this achieve compared to the .82 that came with the 3040 ?

I am looking to downgrade the power, the 3040 will go a little tooo low, probly about 280rwkw with the 1.06 this would go up to about 300ish ? or not work at all?

i reckon you will make more than 280rwkw with the GT3040. you should exceed 300rwkw with the 0.82

no, the turbine housing from the GT35 won't fit.

Sadly no , the GT35's turbine diameter is ~ 68mm where the GT30 is around 60mm .

I always wanted to know how a GT3076R with a 1.06 AR turbine housing on an RB30 DOHC would go but I can't talk Cubes into it ...

A .

what happens if i try it? will it be very laggy and not work ?

Basically. Their will be a gap between the turbine wheel and the exhaust housing. If would sping super slowly and with out much force if at all.

Why don't you just change to a .82a/r GT3582R housing? They are a fair bit less laggy than a 1.06 and the 1.06a/r GT30 housing on a GT3082R has about the same amount of exhaust flow as a .82a/r GT35R but you have less matched wheels. ie, you'll probably have a nicer drive on a .82a/r GT35R than a 1.06a/r GT3082R.

In the old days of T04B's, to hi-flow them, the turbines were machined back. This ranged from trimming the tips to machining the whole wheel back.

In a modern turbo, the clearance between the wheel and the housing act as a seal to help spin the turbo up early in the rev range.

I would think that the 3040 with a turbine that is that big would be a slug. but once it come onto boost, it would have awesome topend power.. I would think that it would actually make boost. but it would come on rather slow at first.. and be kinda spongy.

my 2c anyways

Maybe it's just me, but I've only ever heard of a turbine wheel being "clipped" on the top or crown i.e. the surface that faces you when you look into the turbo's pooper, not around the edges. In effect, you make the turbine wheel "shorter".

Those petrol spec GT UHP turbines (GT30 and GT35BB) have quite thin section blades particularly towards their outer extremities to help keep inertia down .

This is a lot of the reason why they are easily damaged if anything goes through them .

I don't know how you'd go trying to alter the profile of the blades , if you did it would probably have to be some kind of grinding operation and its probably more trouble than its worth .

Older T series turbines were a lot more rigid in their blades so can possibly be attacked with a tool and cutter grinder .

I always felt that you can get stuck between a rock and a hard place with those GT3040R's/GT3082R's (same thing) . They are really a GT30 hot side with an 82mm GT40 hot side and arguably the match is a bit squiff . They can be cheaper and more plentiful than either a GT3076R or a GT3582R and I could never work out why .

I do know that HKS had a Garrett make a slightly different version of the GT3040R/GT3082R , their spec had the 82mm GT40 compressor in 50 rather than 56 trim so no doubt they had issues using the larger trim compressor .

I guess all you can do with those two is to use smaller ratio turbine housings and if they surge modify the comp housings to have a ported shroud .

Another option would be to swap someone with a GT3076R that wants your larger turbo .

Cheers A .

I want to play with what i have got, and i got a 3040 and a 3540

OK sweet as, was unsure as to how much effort you wanted to put into it - as you can't mix and match the parts between the two turbos your only other option is to just use the .82a/r GT3082R for reasons others have already outlined. It won't exactly be gutless, and will make a reasonable amount of power.

For what its worth EVERYONE I know who have had GT3082R have not stayed with them for long and moved on to a GT3582R and have been happier with them, the main thing I think which leans towards a better daily drive is at least its not a 1.06a/r housing like your GT35R.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.

      The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
