what would you guys reccomend for around the same $$$

i have:ecu is a tuned rom, I have a turbo back exhaust although factory dump pipe,

My fuel system is pritty much factor except for a bosch 044 fuel pump making heaps of noise in my boot.

I have a excedy heavy duty single plate clutch, pod filter, and blitz lm type intercooler.

The car is making 160kw's on 13psi which is getting boring and would like to make 220kw's or so in the future.

check out the hks gt28rs specs and speak to gcg.com.au and see if they can make you an equivalent garrett spec to match the power output suitable for your rb20

unless you dont mind spending more $$$ and paying for a hks label turbo

a garrett gt28rs and hks gt28rs arent the same as far as i know

The GT30 is an awsome turbo, highly recommend it! I am using the non-wastegated version though with a .82 housing (no lag). Garrett dont produce an internal gated GT30 this seems to be done by http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/cat...ategory12_1.htm, "We are able to modify your wastegated exhaust housing to accommodate the Gt30 core in most cases, providing a great bolt on upgrade".

Luke.

p.s.

Try this link http://www.xspeed.com.au/ssport/39ecr33/ this r33gtst making 405hp at the wheels on completly stock engine using a gt30.

I've herd that the internal wasgated version of the GT30 is a dodgy version ???

Sounds like a parts bin turbo, not "developed" as such.

I don't think so!! These units are genuine New Garrett core and comp cover units. They use the Nissan RB .63 internal 6 bolt exhaust housing and they are a new initiative by Horsepowerinabox.com to address a void in bolt on turbo's for RB engines.

GT30 500hp is going to be far more than what you need if your chasing 220rwkw.

You'd put a GT30 500-550hp on an RB25, not an RB20

something in the 450HP max is what your after.

drunkenmaster I paid 2k for my new Garrett 600HP Turbo. Thats just how much they cost. Doesnt mean they are underdeveloped cause you aint paying stupidly high prices for the Jap equivalents

These things are straight out of the box (a new Product). I haven't had any feedback on their results, but I'd expect a solid 250RWKW+ at least. I am excited about these units and was a bit bewildered by the negative comment on them. There has never been a real option with the internal T3 flange in a Garrett, which is our core product. Horsepowerinabox.com took the initiative to develop a unit that filled the void in the product range as a bolt on RB unit. I'd hate to count the times I've replied to queries with "sorry we cannot help you with that".

I believe Garrett are planning to release a range of internal T3 units in March 05, as it has been on a promise for some time.

In my opinion the 500hp unit with a .63 would be a great bolt on for a mild RB25 set-up. I've heard feedback on guys using the 700hp internal garrett unit (AKA XR6) with great success on rb 25 and 30 combo's. I'd have thought the exhaust was too big on those units... but go figure??

With the RB20 the current unit can be offered with a smaller 450hp GT28 core, but it will be the same price because of the machining involved. The only other alternative is using a smaller unit such as a GT28RS and a flange adapter from T28 to T3. We have designed a CNC Tapered adapter which is not a bad piece.

Inabox , what exhaust housing is being modified to take the GT30 turbine ? I know HKS do two T3 flanged integrally gated GT30 turbine housings , in .68 and 87 which can be had on their GT2835 Pro S and GT3037 Pro S turbos .

Garrett will do themselves a favour by producing something similar . I agree about the 1.06 housing on the BA's GT3540R , there needs to be a .82 as well . Can you confirm if the .50 comp cover is a TO4E ?

Thanks A .

Hi guys,

i just wanted to hear some feed back on this turbo and what it would be like on a rb20?

they have now developed an interally gated one that is practically bolt on.

thanks

Mark

dude,

if u want good street drivability with plenty of poke from your RB20, then you'd want to go for something a little smaller.

i'd recommend something like this;

http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant...tegory_Code=GRT

it is the garrett equivalent to the HKS GT2835R which can flow a nice ~420hp.

or this one;

http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant...tegory_Code=GRT

this one comes with the smaller 84 Trim exhaust wheel and an A/R .64 exhaust housing and is equivalent to the HKS GT2835.

give these some thought, as i believe you'll be able to get these shipped over to melbourne for less than $2k AUD.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
