Garrett GT4088 Vs GTW3476

[Fr3akyR33]

I was hoping the turbo would come on around 3500-4000 rpm would be ideal, Americans just think “bigger is better” even though it may come on later. I’d prefer a turbo to come on earlier

GTW3476 won't come on at where you're expecting.

Remember the RB25 is an outdated 2.5L port injected low compression motor.

[Fr3akyR33]

Yeah! Was looking at the reviews and what people’s experience with them 

[Griffin]

Efr 7670???

[Fr3akyR33]

Was looking at a HKS2835 pro. This seemed to come on early and is rated around 300+kw’s

You're better off with a Hypergear turbo to be honest.

His latest high flow will get you close to 300kW on 98RON in the stock location, stock dump, etc. (Just need the right supporting mods).

On E85 or WMI you'll easily go 350kW+

[Fr3akyR33]

I’ll have a look into hypergear today! I’d like the headroom to be able to upgrade it more!

Is there a reason you push hypergear so much over other brands? I notice it's not just in this thread but plenty of others as well

In context there are probably not many current alternatives which bolt on so easily and perform fairly well - though as soon as you go to custom piping etc I think you're better off looking at the likes of Garrett etc.

[r32-25t]

there really isnt much custom work required to make a Garrett fit on a gtst 

[Lithium]

Best reason I can think of.  They are a bit cheaper but they are also relatively laggy for the power they make compared to more popular/big name options - in my experience

I’m open to opinions and reviews on turbos that you guys have had in the past. 

Ive had a look at garret, precision, kinugawa, hypergear, done research on all and it’s between hypergear and garret probably! Still learning as we discuss anyways.

It's because it's a complete bolt on solution, yes a GTX3071 "might" be bolt on, but you still need a new intake new water/oil lines and by the time you're done that's nearly double the price of a Hypergear.

Most GTS-t owners:

• are on a budget
• usually do the work themselves because of point 1
• want power fast
• want not so much lag
• want plug and play

If someone had a built motor, and wanted 400kW+ etc. said they wanted power/response for roll racing/track work then I wouldn't recommend a Hypergear. There are other threads where I've mentioned GTX3576s or EFR8374s, etc.

Just to be clear, I am not sponsored by Hypergear nor is there any financial benefit for me in recommending the brand.

All good mate! I had a look at the ATR43SS

[Griffin]

What do you guys think a gt3576r with .82 rear would be like ? I have one I'm thinking of putting on 2630 for a similar outcome .

That may be an option for op

[Mick_o]

.82 rear would be too small for a dirty 30 IMO 

[AngryRB]

Gt3076 0.82 on my 30, plenty big enough, could even go down to 0.63 as still takes some revs to wake up.

[Piggaz]

Yuck.

How do you expect the engine to exhale with a cork up its ass?

[Mick_o]

Lol .63 on a 3L?! You have alot to learn young Jedi... Measure your turbine pressures or flog your car for a while and see how long the head stays on it with a .63? 

[Griffin]

I met a guy having trouble with an rb30 chewing through gt3582r turbos with .63 rear. 

What ended up happening was rear of chra turned blue and cooked the bearings. 

They only lasted a few thousand kms.

Put a Borg Warner airwerks on with bigger rear and the car fell apart around the turbo.

I'd imagine a .82 on 3576 would work much better.
