Selling 1 brand new GT30 500HP ballbearing turbo with the smaller 0.63AR exhaust housing for less lag.

These are good up to around 420RWHP and are very responsive for the power offered.

Unit is brand new and still wrapped in the plastic, bought it for a project that is no longer going ahead.

Dont want to loose too much on the thing but will sell for $2300 ONO.

Its just the turbo, but all GT30 are externally gated so it might bolt on to your manifold but you will run unlimited boost and it wont last real long :rofl:

You need a manifold for it and an external gate. I can supply a highmount tune length manifold brand new and a turbosmart 45mm external gate brand new with this turbo for 1800 the pair.

Total is $4100.

Daniel,

Don't want to be very condescending, but these can be bought straight out of Garret for $1900.00 with warranty.

Another concern is!

How do you suggest possible 420rwhp from a 500hp compressor, when it is perceived that a loss of 30% is not uncommon through the drive train

$1900 from Garrett?

R.R.P. on one is approx 2.3k

Most places are more to the 2.4k though.

You can get it TRADE for $2000 or less, but not everyone has access to that.

And i have just got off the phone with Garrett. It's no where near $1900 direct from them.

Much closer to what i said.

on the HP thing, 420rwhp is impossible from a 500 turbo.

350rwhp is far more accurate.

    • 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.
