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!

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
