Looking at upgrading my setup from the old GT3582R.

Yes I have searched all week here and google, but there is a lot of options out there with new technology turbos.

Basicly I want to increase power and sacrifice a little in response, around 1000 rpm is fine.

I'm currently making 400Kw+ and would like 600Kw.

I have a built rb26, mild port, hks step 1 cams 272, bc springs and retainers, 6 boost t3 manifold, gt3582r t3 0.82, 3.5 in exhaust and e85.

My main problem is getting a turbo that will flow that much to fit where the GT3582R is.

Have been looking at Precision, Forced Performance, Garrett, Borg Warner, Ect.

Would like to keep water cooled housing for reliability as car is tracked.

Let me know of any experience with these turbos, also there after sales service.

Please only post first hand experience and no rumours.

Unfortunately if some of us posted our first hand experiences this thread would be quickly locked. Turbo's at that power level can go bang out of the box, and rarely is there any warranty when they do.

600 is a lot of kw, are you sure you need that much? If you didn't want to pay a large lag penalty I know the GTX35 will fit in the same spot, and should flow another 100 odd if you lean on it with the right mods...

Thanks Scotty.

As you know I'm still not happy with the power and want more.

I want to maximize my setup, retain AC, full interior and standard look.

The r32 gtr is more than capable of handling this power, other than the gearbox.

I have sent enquiry to Forced Performance, as they seem to have great results with the T3 flanged turbos.

There new HTZ Super 99 or the Xona 95-67 look like the go to me.

I had a fast rx-7 before I love top end power and don't mind lag. In fact i love lag gives others a chance.

Also there is a lot of roll racing at QR these days an I love kicking ass, would be great to keep doing this with a t3 manifold :)

With your current turbine housing, I have an upgrade option that pushes it to a T04Z 84mm billet configuration working with an custom profiled 75mm turbine. This will be the largest T3x print possible as the bearing housing starts to run out of materials to sit the wheel in. That should set around the 500awkws region.

Mate im in the same shoe. More power. My goals were 800hp to the wheels. I have a gtx3582r wit a 1.06 ar t4 housing and was after 800hp. Its obvious thats not going to happen. So i dropped my goals to 600hp. Which i think will be pushing this turbo to the max. Im just hoping for a good power curve. Well im happy to see that your on track and looking foward to seeing what becomes of your setup your planning on going with.

Thanks for the input.

Hypergear you have good reputation, and a mate is running one of your turbos. He is very happy with your turbo!

Give you a call this week when I have time, as I think might be safer to run something locally built.

But hard decision when Persisions and FP seem to be making big numbers.

But then again most of them are on US Dynos!

Will keep you guys posted with results.

Seems to be for diesel trucks, not sure if it's designed for petrol heat. Try ringing Magnaflow and asking if it's suitable, but I doubt the Australian distributor will have them.

As Hadouken said, the 5 inch ones should be fine, I have seen 200 cell 5 inch cats flowing 450 odd kw. 6 inch might be a little hard to tuck up, unless you have raised your car or don't go over speed humps.

Unfortunately the cat will be the least of your legality issues with a power figure that high. :P

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
