from others expirianes, people who have the .63 ( i was reffering to the gt30/.82 on an rb25) they come on quite sharply inducing wheelspin and not making the car as friendly.

And rear housings impact the power output too dont forget.

and even bigger, 1.0x is too laggy on a 25, but my comments are related to a street car. Keep that in mind. If your racing is different of course.

yes totally understand mate, i too am going to be in the turbo choosing boat later on after i get my engine back together. the .82 rear is seeming the wise choice, i was going to go 1.06 as i was told that would be awesome but i want a broad power band not the very narrow band.

I had a gt30 on my rb25. It had the .82 rear housing. Made a best of 310rwkw on pump. Nothing below 3500rpm. Full boost at 4500rpm. Would die by 6500rpm. When it came on boost fried the tyres. I personally didnt like the characteristics of the turbo and the amount of boost needed to make that power. The smallest i would personally go is the .87 rear. I had 1.05 rear on my t88. Full boost @ 5000rpm held all the way to 8000rpm. Started making boost at 3800rpm and dip in power up top either. Didnt come on savage too.

Id say the .82 is better suited for like an rb20/ sr20/ or 280rwkw rb25.

That just my experience.

Gt3540r are making big power on 30det as said. Just gota choose the right one for your set up

yeah, i am bumping my rev limit to 8000rpm so i wouldnt want it to run out of puff by 6500!!! thats abit silly. What does the TD06-25G housing equate to that u had? that was good aye? hav eu had any experience with the TD07-25G?

my gt30 .82ex doesnt run outta puff @ 6500, it makes power all the way into the 7000rpm range with ~270rwkw and only drops off at the limiter of around 7500, and then thats where cams are probably are required for that little bit more.

I've got 200rwkw+ by 4000 and its very smooth to the 7000rpm/270rwkw mine doenst feel at all weak above 6500rpm.

Mind you its not a hell amount of boost either, it'll take a few more psi on pump yet.

just gotta get another as mine shat a bearing. Just about brand new so its a rarity

I was thinking along the lines of the GT3540R (a real one not the seven bladed TO4S piece of crap) and a REAL GT style .82AR exhaust housing . I would like to see positive pressure at a bit over 2000 and .8 to 1.0 Bar from 3000 to 6800 . So is anyone using the real one ?

Our project R33 RB25DET is running a 700hp version of the GT3040 with .70a/f and .82 rear. - Garrett version not HKS

Its on full boost by 4700rpm with standard cams at the moment. It dies a little bit up top in 1st & 2nd gear between 6500 & 7000rpm but it 3rd and 4th its opposite it pulls even harder when it hits 6000 to 7500rpm. Because its such a large turbo it takes a while to get going so in 3rd and 4th the topend is huge.

On the drag strip 1/4 a small shot of nitrous will help get it off the line.

GT3530r should be fine on a RB30DET i'd like to see how it goes. :)

Bingo...why have a huge arse turbo, but no cams....?

yes, but remember, for the little bit.

In the whole cost vs result, it would be a an improvement of course. But as my budget is extremely tight i cant justify the cost of cams when the stock head for the most part is doing very well.

Cameron.. i would like to know the number also, never heard of a 700hp GT30 in 70comp/.82 rear

Cameron I looked into that one too , my Garrett contact (in US) said he would not put that on anything because of the difference in turbine vs compressor diameter ie 60mm and 82mm . In his opinion the extra work the turbine is asked to do to drive the GT40 compressor costs it turbine efficiency (slip losses at the turbine) . These are his opinions so I'm not desputing anyone elses choise . Its a shame the Garrett PDF cattledog does not show the GT3040R so we could see the turbine efficiency graph . It does show the GT35R (GT3540R) and the turbine efficiency is I think 74% which is quite high . Its a pity Garrett don't do a larger trim GT30 compressor to use with the GT35 turbine , I believe it would work like a GT28RS scaled up 50% .

Cheers A .

CHRA # 700177-14 has the usual 84 trim/60mm 30 series turbine wheel but has the 82mm, 56 trim GT40 on it - flowing ~65lbs/min. This is an off the shelf Garrett item. Can you ask your Garrett contact why he doesn't want to "put" that compressor wheel on that sized turbine, when you can buy one directly from Garrett?

Also, you can get a larger trim GT30 compressor wheel (T04S - don't be fooled by the "T04S" designation as these are the new line) than the 56trim offered on the GT30R, there is a 60 trim wheel available that flows ~60lbs/min. CHRA # 700177-13 has that combo. That is with a 76mm exducer diameter, and 59mm inducer.

Side note: there is a T04S 63 trim wheel but it has an exducer diameter of 84mm, but it flows ~70lbs/min. Rockin'!

Its been customized internaly. The computer with the digital camera pictures on it has a broken video card but i'll try and get it thursday for you.

I was told that its the new model of the garrett GT3040. You carnt tell the difference apart from the normal 600hp and the 700hp version as its internal work thats been done.

I've got one pic here:

I've tryed seaching for the part number in garrett catalogs and can't find it anywere.

Was at dyson rotary today, craig built an rb25 using a gt3540, on 18psi made 480rwhp on pump. Built engine with hks cams and cam gears, plenum etc etc.

Should be out at the track once finishes off some things on it.

From what craig told me it has a .6* (*not sure either a 4 or 7 or what) rear housing.

Hey discopotato,

How does the Garrett guru align his opinions on compressor/turbine relative sizing, considering the radically differing conditions each are operating in, i.e gas velocity/density? Would the more sizeable turbine with its inherently costlier inertial energy requirements not lead to losses of its own, i.e. slip? I am also considering this turbo for my next '30DET build but am unsure what to pick between the .82/1.06 tubine housing. What does he think?

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
