just had my gt30 500hp turbo with internal wastegate fitted, my rb25 pulled 260rwkws at 20psi and 229 rwkws at 13psi. just wanting any feed back from anyone else who maybe running similar combo. car goes really hard now, even though im very happy with the results would upgrading my cams make any difference tp peak power or would the results be miniscule compared to the outlay and cost???? would be interested in peoples thoughts and opinions?

I have a mate with a GT30 with the smallest ex housing (0.63) making 353rwhp at 19 psi on a FJ20. Engine standard apart from cams + pistons. He made this on pump fuel.

I think your car being a 2.5 has much much left in it. Fuel limits the FJs to about 350rwhp so you should make 430 rwhp no probs. Obviously you have problems with airflow into the engine and in addition maybe the tune is conservative. My advice for making the 430rwhp: Get some tomei cams and upgrade from those pissy 240 degree 7.8mm cams....they're holding you back enormously. Get some 270s and your power will be there.

I get my car tuned next week tuesday so Ill let you know how it goes.

exactly.

my 600HP GT30 - with the GT series wheel (6 blade) makes 270rwkw on 16psi.

So an int Gated version of the 500HP variety wont make anymore.

I'd be very happy wtih the result.

CAMS might get you a little, but stock 25DET heads are pretty good for 300rwkw with the stockers

There are .63 ARR housings and .63 ARR housings . If its the poor old Nissan cast T3 housing reprofiled your on your own . This combination is known not to work properly . Garrett does make a proper .63 version of the GT30 84 trim housing which works well on FJ20's . If you must have an integral waste gate housing HKS do them in .68 and .87 for the PRO S version of their GT3037 which is the same CHRA as the GT30R and has the T3 flange . These housings are expensive but cheap compared to external gates and custom manifolds and good enough for the street .

My opinions cheers A .

Yes , that CHRA in Garrett speak in Pt no 700382-12 for the same thing . Some Garrett BB CHRA's need the locating groove machined 1-2 mm deeper into

early HkS housings but its a std thing nowdays . There was once a string at a US SR20 site about someone using one of ATP's (Garretts) GT3071R's in a T28 flanged .73 ARR HKS housing and it needed this mod . In that case the 3071R CHRA was being substituted for a damaged 3037 core so the original assembly was an early build HKS turbo . 90% of them go bolt .

GCG said they can get them for about $800 though I enquired some time ago . These use HKS's GT Pro outlet on the back so you may need to make a dump pipe for it .

Cheers A .

hey dude,

just wondering, do u feel that the GT30R is laggy on the street with the A/R .82 exhaust housing?

when do u roughly get full boost?

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
