Hi All,

Looging to upsize my stock r34gtt to a GT3582r-iw also icluding fmic and 3" exhaust

Can someone give me a quick pros & cons of trbine trim size

check this link -http://www.turbotech.com.au/turboproducts_listing.ews?turboproducts.ewdBrand=1&turboproducts.ewdBrand_Clasification=8

Im in perth..

are these prices ok? any recomendation to go elsewhere for cheaper.

Is this bolt on? I doubt it is.

What else to I need to do just to get it in and running, not intereseted in hi kw just want it in bare minimum and working.

First thing I can point out is the wastegate. An internal wastegate on such a big turbo will yield poor boost control. If I was in your shoes I'd be spending that little bit extra by buying an external wastegate, it'll make a huuge difference to how he car drives and your boost curve will love you for it...

What sort of power are you after?

No this isn't a bolt on option, you'll need to modify your cooler piping to fit the compressor housing, and you'd definitely want an aftermarket dump pipe (3" at least).

I'd recommend Hyperdrive in Malaga, Andrew does great, honest, (relatively) cheap work...

If you don't want "hi kw", then that turbo is a terrible choice.

A GT35 is capable of around 370rwkw on a normal day, and not the turbo for a factory motor.

So as with all other threads like this, how about we try a bit of Q&A.

What are your power goals?

What is your budget?

What is the use of the car?

Do you want to rebuild the motor?

What other mods do you have?

It all depends on the size you want for the turbine side, AR 1.06 might be a large for a 2.5L engine (it would take a lot longer to spool). You would need bigger injectors to reach the limits of this turbo, and heat may be a problem on the stock internals at 400 -600hp (unless maybe you run e85).

Not sure about the answers to your other questions. I'm assuming that you have an aftermarket ecu, cos you will need it.

Check out gcg, hypergear, etc. Hypergear have a range of bolt on upgrades for RB25DET's http://www.digi-hard...rbocharger.html , http://gcg.com.au/

good luck!

Ok thanks guys yes a general thread would be awesome.

What I did was browse through some dyno graphs and with bb bearing turbo being my preference I thought an ultimate 300rw kw is a good aim.

Ok but not on a stock motor.

So to get going at bare minimum: I'm not interested in any great immediate power gains if any at all just to get the foot in the mod space with the most important bit - in a way doing it in reverse if you like.

So far gt3540 dump pipe and external wastegate and run at 12psi or whatever the injectors can handle. I have apexi neo fuel controller already installed.

Well for 300rwkw, a GT35 is the wrong turbo. I told you that not 2 posts above, it is capable of ~370rwkw.

If you really did read the dyno graphs, you would have seen this yourself.

Either way there are plenty of threads on GT3582 (~370rwkw) and GT3076 (~300rwkw).

Please use the search function in future:

"GT3582"

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
