well as long as the flange is the right size i think we can deal with doing some braded line work

what kind of PSI are we talking about insode the oil/water lines?

also i don't know much about turbo's mate - when you say 0.82 A/R that means?

as long as it bolts on fine - i'm confident we can get the line work done

Cool, I'll find out what I can

The water lines are only gonna be around 15-17 PSI.

The oil lines I think are only feed. I don't know if they are under pressure, if they are...it will be engine oil pressure.

between 20-60 PSI depending on revs.

'A/R is the ratio of the exhaust housing refering to the size and shape of the scroll that is cast into the housing. It determines how restrictive the housing will be, versus how quickly the turbine will spin up. A lower A/R ratio results in a more restrictive housing. This restriction speeds up the exhaust gasses and increases the amount that the gasses will expand. It's the speed and expansion of the gasses that causes the turbine to spin. So with a low A/R ratio, the turbine will spin up quicker, but as engine output and rpms increase, the restriction of the housing begins to build up too much back pressure on the engine, which reduces performance. A good rule of thumb for when there is too much back pressure is when the pressure in the exhaust manifold is more than half of the pressure in the cylinder. So basically, a larger A/R ratio will improve your engine's top end, while losing some mid range power and increasing turbo lag. A smaller A/R ratio will help the bottom and mid-range, but may effect the top end.'

0.82 is a large size.

0.60 - 0.80 is usually good for the mid range stuff edging towards top end power. When they start going over 1 is when you get large amounts of lag. But you would compensate for this by using a Ball bearing turbo which helps to counter the lag effect. You can successfully eliminate extra lag by choosing the correct combination.

has anyone recieved any turbos from this guys and have any comments about them?

Thanks. I'm looknig for a turbo to buy right now.

probably 450hp - 500hp, T3 Flange, with a .63ar Exhaust housing.

I don't like your chances of being able to get anything rated to that hp with a 0.63A/R. I'll do my best.

Is there any reason for wanting the 0.63A/R?

You are really limited in your choices for the T3 flange also.

You would probably have to go with something like what I described above.

A T04 with a V1 compressor trim and the P turbine trim with a 0.82 A/R to achieve those hp ratings.

You might be able to play with a few options on the T3 housing to squeeze a little more out of it but I'll have to check with the supplier to make sure.

I'll see if they can do a 0.63A/R T3 flange on a turbo rated at 450hp. If not, have you considered going for something like a twin ball bearing GT25 or something that will be better suited?

You could also wait a couple of months as Garrett is bringing out some more designs in the T3 configuration. So then you would be able to get a GT25 440hp with a T3 flange. Now wouldn't that be nice.

Hi Daniel and thanks for the turbo price, would recomend these turbos to all sua members as I have seen the quailty of the work.

No worries mate. Glad I could help. My other supplier has been really slack with those gaskets so I am going to try direct with ACL tomorrow hopefully. It's been two weeks and all they say is....oh, we haven't had time to ring. Bullcrap! I even reminded them twice. I might also try coventry or someone else like that. Anyway...I'll let you know how I go.

hi daniel, just wondering what a turbo off a HR31 silver top motor is, and how much 1 would cost??

MY BAD!!!!! i ask in the forced induction section about this and the silver top rb20 motor only came out in the R32 gtst. doh! anyway, its for a mate he has a toyota sprinter with a 4agze turbo conversion and he needs a new turbo bcoz his one is blown, the turbo he has on it was off a rb20 silvertop but he told me they were out of a HR31 obviously he got mixed up. So i remembered this post so i though id try and get a price for him and see if hes keen. ok. thanx again for ya help with it. looking on google atm. will post again if i find out what type it is ok. i was told it could be a T25BB but not 100% sure. 4 bolt flange.

Definately not a BB. That would mean it is a ball bearing. The only skyline I think is the 34 which has the bb turbo. As for the silver top turbo, I have a blown one which I could have fixed for you. I would want $1100 with it fixed. It is a hi-flow and has supported me to roughly 215 RWKW. If you want a 360 degree thrust put in, then I think it will be slightly dearer but not much. Let me know if he is interested. When it is fixed, the only parts that won't be brand new will be the exhaust and compressor housings. The rest including wheels, shaft and cartridge will all be brand new.

Are any details available about the new T3 flange options ? The aftermarket is crying out for things like a T3 flanged .86AR housing for the NS111 turbine (GT2530 , GT28RS etc) . We also badly need some integral gate GT30 and GT35 T3 flange housings .

Thanks A .

Discopotato03: My supplier has told me a couple of months. But we all know how accurate that could be. Companies like Garrett can say 2 months but it will take them 3 or 4. All I can say is they are on their way and they aren't too far off now.

Gatty: I have been told that he will not just do the seals. All turbo's that come through him are to have a full service kit and balanced. The reason for this is quality of workmanship. He is the best I know and his work is proof of that. He said it will set you back around $550 as long as there is no other problems with turbines or housings.

Pentae: Sorry but that info is privileged. All I can say is that he is an authorised Garrett dealer. The turbos are all brand new. You won't be able to achieve cheaper prices without going through me. If you can get a cheaper price elsewhere, AND CAN PROOVE IT, then I will TRY to beat it.

The other thing I would like to note is that if you live on the Gold or sunshine coasts or in Brisbane/Ipswich or somewhere local to brisbane then I will deliver the turbo in person. And I can arrange a COD if you feel untrusting.

Got a quote tonight to do the braided lines.

Both water lines and the oil supply line including fittings, bolts and washers all custom made.....$100-$120

He shoots....he scores! I am really happy with the amount of service I have been getting from our local businesses. This guy finished work at 5 and drove out to my place to look at what I needed to do the job. Not many people are willing to do this these days.

Therefore, a big praise and plug goes out to Bayside Hose and Fittings. 07-3286 9354 They are located in Shore street Cleveland. 20 years in the industry.

Hey mate.

Just curious as to why you say the High Flow's are only 300hp when GCG and a few other places all quote there turbos at 450hp?

Just did a bit of a serch and a lot of people are getting 230-250rwkw's out of there high flows... Sydney Kid being the exception with 264kw

Also Does it matter if I get a R32 turbo highflowed instead of a R33 one (if cost is a huge difference between the two)?

as I will be buying a 2nd hand turbo and getting that done so I can bolt it on when I have all of my parts ready to go.

I am looking to upgrade the turbo in the next month or so. Just waiting on the bank balance to rise just a touch more.

Thanks mate

How much horsepower/kilowatts do you want? 230rwkw

What are you using the car for? eg. Street/drag

When do you want boost roughly? coming on from 2200...full @ 4000

Do you want power early or late in the rev range? mid-late - i dont mind a Little lag if if will give a better top end hit...must last to redline

What Mods you engine has or is going to have including computers or exhaust etc.? zorst, intake, FMIC, fuelpump, injectors, probably a power fc, possibly cams

Obviously, what car? S13 with a RB20DET

Intercooled? and is it large, small, medium? medium at his stage....VR4 cooler - apprantly flows enough for 230rwkw

Still running AFM or upgraded or no longer there? stock Rb20 80mm AFM

Custom exhaust manifold or standard? (custom exhaust manifolds give you more options) stock manifold - as below....preffered stock but non stock if price is right

External wastegate or internal(limited to virtually 450hp - internal gate preferred but external if price is right

thx jason ;)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
