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 The GT3037 might be a superceded unit but it is a good thing.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.

    • 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.
