Hi all

Long time no boost.

Time to feel the rush again. this time not just a stock rb25det with intercooler.

I have an apparent F6 Turbo im puttin on my forged RB30 today, i think its BB but not 100% sure & i want your advise.

Features:

6 bolts either side
spins around 13 seconds after blasted with air gun
looks like restrictor in top oil feed but its 3-4mm

pics attached

BTW what do you think of a 5" dump pipe i made for this performance wise ?

Cheers

Ball bearing turbo's don't need a lot of oil flow, and the GT35 likes to burn a little oil if the feed is opened up from my experience. I would start with a 1mm restricted AN fitting for the feed and see how it goes.

A filter in the feed line is a good idea, not a little pissy one, a larger stainless mesh filter to take out any crap that may block the 1mm hole.

Pretty sure the F6 still ran a 3 inch inlet, so this would be an aftermarket GT35, do you have some pics of the dump flange side?

Yep, Falcon GT35 didn't have a large inlet but they did have that smaller A/R. Maybe it changed at some point?

Unless you change the front A/R and aiming for 380rwkw, bit of a poor turbo choice IMO.

Better off with a GT30 with a 1.06 AR if 300rwkw-330rwkw is the goal, even a .82 works well, comes on early and hard though so you need a decent investment in tyres/diff/suspension

Cheers guys i called up honeywell & gcg, they said max oil pressure of 45 psi to the turbo for this one, it has a restrictor built in around the corner from oil feed but still needs 1mm restrictor pre turbo so i bought one thursday arvo.

Yeah i was thinking of getting an inline oil filter as enzed didnt stock any when i got the restrictor. so i will order one online thanks.

This turbo came on a spag manifold with a plated vl turbo with lots of mods, forged, int, fullspool, 31 spline billet axles etc etc. and LOTS of spares all for 2.5k.
i just had to make it work IE make dump/ lines/ spacer etc it gets rego this week.

This turbo is better then no turbo so i slapped it on i know its a fair upgrade from a stock rb30 turbo that pumps a pissant 150 kw, this one pumps 310kw so im expecting laggg etc. I dont know heaps about them but ill test it. then change it if i dont like it, next is comp & tune.

what turbo would you suggest for rb30 300 kw give or take ?

what sort of power can these boost to safely 400kw ? more i guess

With the current turbocharger you have. Run it with a .82 rear housing, should see pretty responsive 360rwkws mark. The next size up would be a GTX3582, or just fit a GTX3582 wheel to your current CHRA.

GT30 as I said above for 300-330.

You can get 400rwkw on E85 with the current turbo you have. The XR6 GT35s always seem to be a tad shorter on the power, probably the compressor A/R at the upper end making a slight difference. Overall compressor A/R doesn't make that much difference, turbine far more important.

If you are going E85, get a GTX series. If you are staying on PULP then the GT series are the better choice IMO. GTXs only really shine at the higher boost ranges (talking 20psi++)

Really depends what the use will be, it's too large for the street if you want response, but as a track turbo it would work well imo.

I much prefer a smaller turbo and leaning on it harder (for the street) but a 3L should spool the GT35 up nicely anyway.

    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy     
    • I tried to get in contact before I went to QLD you didn’t respond, then I tried to contact you in r31 club.  I thought you fell off the earth or something haha.  I will grab it off you but unknown when I will be up that way 
    • I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.
    • Do you still need the wiper motor and stuff?
    • I haven't used the Crank Motorsport ones, but can I ask why not use standard gtr/gts4 axles at the front? They would easily cope with that power level. BTW.....sounds like quite the project!
