Hey Guys,

I spoke with Stao from Hypergear for a turbo for my fairly stock RB30/25 and he sold me the ATR43 G2 with an .82 rear housing. So I went with it but after pulling the stock rb25 turbo, I am wondering i am going to get worth while gains.I see a lot of people putting ATR43 G3 on stock RB25's (with supporting mods). Am wondering if I am wasting my time fitting this turbo and should I be going for a G3?

GT30 on an RB30 would be quite fun. It would probly spool like a stock rb25 turbo on an rb25, but make power hehe.

Would the GT30 be a little on the small side though?

not quiet the same. stock 25 usually makes 12 odd psi by around 2500rpm i think. gt3076 on a 30det usually makes 1 bar by around 3500rpm. i wouldnt go any bigger for a street car

Wow that sucks. My GT30 makes 17psi earlier than that on a 25. lol

Go have a look @ the graph and see for yourself then :D

I cannot remember exactly, but its up and on early as!

Does taper off upper RPM, but that's to be expected as its making 330rwkw on PULP which is pretty much limits met

That is a pretty accurate description of what to expect. Cubic capacity gives a lot more torque at idle, turbo lights up early, and can blow hard to make a lot of stick. For road use the 0.82 housing is very good match, maybe a bit restrictive if you want to run for extended periods at high rpm ie. on the track. The GT3037 might be a superceded unit but it is a good thing.

i have driven al's car and I can tell you it is the most fun RB setup i have ever driven....

power everywhere! boost from like 2400 revs and just frys the tyres in any gear at any time.

I have a car that makes the same power as al's car (330 rwkw) out of a 25 and it's just a whole different ballgame. i wouldn't go any smaller.... but it's 1 KILLER setup

my GT35 on my 3L is that responsive, try 2500-3000 for a GT30

turbo not too small,

25/30, 330rwkw, 3076R.82 rear (atrG3 equiv)

Yeah i never meant it was too small as in the way the car drives, more like how the stock rb25 turbo is too small for that engine.

A .82 on an RB30 is awesome for drags and lurking on the street but i feel like the .82 would get a bit warm if you wanted to race it at full noise all the time. :)

That was a wicked launch. Hehe.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
