I'm not after a turbo ATM but found this pic on my PC which might help some of you guys trying to figure out what you want. Obviously there are many factors other than a power target that will dictate what you want but hopefully this will help anyway :P

Daniel,

What can your guy do for my stock GTR R32 turbos? I'm only looking for a bit more out of them (maybe 210-230kw atw) with reliability. What cost for rebuild with steel wheels, and what cost for hiflow etc? What do you recommend?

I am getting a price for you on a special turbo available now as a direct bolt on replacement for the GTR's. I asked him today and he will hopefully reply to me tomorrow. Like I said...direct bolt on, so everything just goes back where it came off. They are both twin ball bearing and rated at 300hp each. Highflows are gonna cost you $1400-$1800 depending on condition of turbos and how tough you want them. I dare say these other BB turbos will be around the $1700 mark but I will confirm tomorrow when he calls me.

do you have the garrett gt2871r in stock or turbo equivalent to this??

I asked him today about this and he is looking for me tomorrow. He thought that turbo was the same as the GT28R which is $1400. I asked him to do some more research on this one to find out what the go is. I will let you know when I do.

I believe there 2 different turbos.

Very interested if you can get them.

Thanks

NFI:confused:

Totally different turbos. The gt30 does not come in an internal gate. That combo was a GCG combo using the standard skyline exhaust housing . This combo has been proven to be very unreliable. The only other way to do it is to buy the HKS ex housing which is very pricey. The GT35/40 rated at 700hp is internal gate but only come in a 1.06 ex housing A/R at that rating. HP in a box do a 0.63 but it is not rated at 700, I think it is closer to 500-550hp.

I have done a highflow for Syphon and a GT35R for Skyrine-Dave.

I officially have no hair left!

I also want to know is the GT30 with internal gate 0.63 comparable to say a HKS2830...or do I have NFI...
No F@#%in Idea

I was looking at the horsepowerinabox one with the internal gate

I am REALLY after a direct bolt on similar to the HKS2835 I think...or maybe the HKS2830 (I may have these wrong as I have NFI...)

Sorry, I just read my last post and realized how rude I must have sounded. I didn't mean you had NFI and appologise for coming across like that. Ummm...what car is this going onto Bob. The reason I ask is because the HKS 2835 comes in T3 or T2 flange but the garrett equivalent only comes in T2.

You would probably want something like the aforementioned GT3071. It is internal gate and rated at 400-450hp, T3 flange. I am currently trying to find out how much it would cost to highflow this turbo by Garrett as this would place it well into the 500hp mark and make it a good int gate bolt on comparable to the GT30R.

Dan, you weren't rude bro...I HAVE NFI...there is no much contradicting info re turbo's that I am just over it...I know what I want.

I want a turbo that will have good response for street and occassional strip, probably a 0.63 rear housing, internal gate, bolt on no changes to any lines as they are all new...

Car is a R33GTST, rebuilt...only want to run a MAX of 14psi when i get an PFC and front mount and larger fuel pump.

So that means T3 flange, I have seen good results from the HKS 2830 from some people, but the efficiency curve according to my calcs in better suited to an RB20, where as the 2835 is better suited to the 25...

What is 400-450 in kw...I don't want a monster that comes on boost hard I want something reasonably responsive which aint gonna happen with a 1.06 rear housing...

That 35/40 with the 1.06 housing was actually designed and flowed to be on a 2 litre 6 cylinder engine. They reckon it should come on boost at 3200-3500 depending on whether you have the 2 or 2.5 L. I don't know how true this is and I don't want anyone to be a guinea pig for it. I would rather just ask someone who has already got one on.

As for direct bolt on, you have three options...these are:

1: Highflow

2: HKS

3: Buy a different car

HKS and Greddy and companies like that are the only ones that have made the direct bolt on stuff for Skylines in the smaller stuff with internal gate unfortunately....you might be better off waiting until they bring out their T3 range. Even then though...anything Ball bearing will have different fittings for the water and oil lines so that rules all of them out.

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
