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?

Intreresting thread.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
