Hi guys, i bought a garrett gt3582r as part of a turbo kit for my r33 gtr with the .82 rer housing. The turbo i have comes with the 2.5inch 4 bolt exhuast outlet. I have noticed the gt3582r also comes with the 3 inch v band exhuast outlet. Does this 3 inch vband actually just taper up to 3 inch and offer better performance or is the outlet actually bigger than my turbos outlet?

Best turbine performance/efficiency is achieved by the biggest pressure drop across the turbine.

Consider that the distance from turbine blade to the 4 bolt flange face is ~50ish mm, and that measurement would not vary significantly whether you are talking 2.5 or 3 inch outlet. The diameter of the outlet will be the same at the exit of the turbine rotor, so the difference is the rate of expansion available over 50ish mm to where the exhaust dump pipe bolts up. I'd suspect the difference won't be enough to be concerned about in most instances.

Sure the 3 inch outlet version should be a technically better option, but the question is what are you using the car for, what is the target power output (airflow considerations), and what dump pipe design are you using? 4 inch dump is a pretty massive thing that might pose difficulties in fitting all the pipework into available space. 3 or 3.5 inch will perform very well and far easier to fit down past the firewall.

I'd be making sure that your dump uses a shoulder section to give rapid size change from the turbine outlet to whatever dump pipe diameter you choose. That should assist with ensuring best pressure drop across the turbine.

im looking to make close to 400kw on e85 through my rb26. The 4 inch dump fits up perfectly. The cars going in for a tune tommorow and was not sure if i was wasting my time with the turbo i have. I rang GCG turbos to find out about a to4z compressor wheel conversion and they told me not to bother with the 2.5 inch exhuast housing as it just wont make the power but i found it a little hard to beleive as i had a feeling the outlet was the same at the wheel on the 3 inch v-band and the 2.5 4 bolt. This confirms it :)

Asking GCG anything is possibly not the best idea.

You could easily get that power from a 3 inch dump if you are talking about an externally gated setup. I doubt the turbine outlet size is a worry.

The T04R wheel that gets used in those "GT35/T04Z conversions is not exactly a modern wheel and I think a decent billet compressor would do better .

You could have a V band adapter machined up and welded to your housing to create a 3" or larger outlet on the same cone angle as the housing .

Yea, ive gathered that haha. I am externally gated ;) Cant wait for the tune tommorow!

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
