Turbo's For All

[Nismo_Boy]

I’m not sure if this has been covered, but do the do install work?

Example, I drop my car with my turbo kit and fmic. Will they install, do the fmic piping, oil feed lines, dump pipe ect? Or are the purely just a turbo supplier

[The Dan]

yes, I believe they do. But I will confirm for you on Monday.

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

Yes, the highflows are only rated at around that figure. And like I said previously, it doesn't mean you can't get 250 rwkw out of your engine with that turbo on. It just means that the turbo is working overtime and is not built to withstand punishment to that degree. Those turbos are capable of handling those horsepower figures but for how long? If you fit things like oil coolers and use a 360 degree thrust bearing, then you will have no trouble supporting 250 rwkw and still have a reliable turbo.

Another example.

Get yourself a 1000hp Skyline and bolt on a highflow turbo. Give it a couple of laps around Philip island and I bet there won't be much left of it. It will also reduce the performance of the engine somewhat.

It is all about getting the turbo that matches your engine and mods.

The other thing I forgot to mention was that I was getting almost 220 rwkw out of my RB20 highflow on standard injectors and standard ECU. That was pretty much the max for it though as injectors limit the horsepower.

So like I said before, you can still get the 250 rwkw but you can't gaurantee the life of the turbo. Plus for the extra $500 you would be mad not to put on something better suited and put out 300 rwkw

[The Dan]

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

Mate, if you only want 230 rwkw. I should be able to get you something for around $1700 that will come on full boost at 3000rpm and last way past redline.

General rule is....if your engine stops producing power, so will the turbo. Or even if the engine reduces in power, so will the turbo.

You would probably be best to go for something like a GT25/30. you would be best to wait until they come out with the T3 flange configuration as this will mean a couple of hundred less in fitting costs.

I am after 2x GT35R with .82 housing... these still $1900 each?

what is the availability on them?

Can you supply the 1.06 exh housing for these turbos? if so what price?

Cheers

Dave

[The Dan]

Do you just want the exhaust housing(seperate) or are you talking about getting the 35R with the 1.06 ex housing?

[Skyrine-Dave]

well i think i'll definately want 1x GT35r with the .82 housing so thats $1900 ??

and i may also want a 1.06 exhaust housing for the GT35r (my current one has .82) $ ??

if you want you can PM me more details or a contact number

Cheers

The 2530 on the RB20 is actually quite a nice combo.

Its all in by 4000rpm and makes really good power.

On the RB25 I think its a little small, especially when you consider they only make 220-230rwkw max. The stock turbo makes 190rwkw or with an adj. cam gear maybe 200 depending on the dyno.

Bare minimum on the rb25 I would go the 2535. 240rwkw is fairly decent for the outlay.

Comparing the rb20 to a 25 is like comparing a dyno graph of a 25 to a 30.

dan, My mate sold his sprinter last weekend to some guy in brisbane. it had a blown turbo, no rego and no rwc but he still got $9000. not too bad i guess. so that means he wont be needing his turbo anymore. thanx for ya help anyway. your doing a good deed for all!

You are right, the 25/35 would be a better match with that engine.

Sorry everyone for not being online for a few days. I have recently changed operating systems and my internet is still giving me grief. Emails can be sent to me at

I will be speaking to him tomorrow (Friday)

$1900 is correct for the Garrett GT35R.

He is getting back to me about the exhaust housing.

On another seperate matter. The T04's that I was talking about earlier for someone, he will be giving me an answer tomorrow also. He has been away in Perth for a few days so I haven't been able to contact him.

[Skyrine-Dave]

If there are some GT35r's avalaible once you find out let me know and i'll grab one off ya!

Cheers

Dave

[The Dan]

Should be able to on Tuesday. I'll have to find out if he still has some on the shelf or if he has to order it in.

[gatty]

i sent you a PM - waiting for the reply

[gatty]

ok, i'm after a :

GARRET GT2540 BALL BEARING TURBO  

400HP TURBO WITH INTERNAL WASTEGATE. BOLT ON REPLACEMENT FOR R32 & R33 GTS-T

he needs one this week - any chance?

[WHITER33GTS-T]

I am interested in a new turbo. Was thinking about Garrett GT35R what size exhaust wheel can these come in? Also what price would something bigger be GT40 or 42?

[mr180sx]

I have a contact who owns a very reputable TURBO business. They took over from Turbotorque around 3-4 months ago. I am getting VERY good prices for ALL turbos. I can pretty much get anything you want and to suit whatever. Prices are usually discounted by around $500 from retail so there are some massive savings to be had. Please post if anyone is interested.

EG. I just bought me 450hp Ball bearing turbo for a little over $1000. Retail on this particular one is over $2000 so you get the picture.

If there is enough of an interest I will see if he will give further discount for a group buy, however, a group buy is not essential. Sau members will receive further discount on top. These prices are NOT fitted. This will only put the turbo in your hand, or trailer - depending on how large you go.

where bouts u located.
