gday all,

i am selling both items below which were both bought brand new from P.E.T Modifications a little over 1 year ago. Reason is i am in the market for buying a house and possibly a 2nd car so i need to free up some money and have a short break from the car.

* Garrett GT3040R (700177-0014 : 600hp core with A/R .63 exhaust housing)

fyi, this turbo runs the genuine garrett gt40 compressor wheel as found in the 700hp GT35R, although with the smaller GT30 turbine wheel as in the HKS GT3037S)

* 45mm Turbosmart external wastegate (self explanatory)

these two items have only been run about 5-6000kms given that i constantly travel overseas for work and i got married last year where i was away for 2 months on my honeymoon. Also, my work is only 8kms away from home, so yeah it's a short drive.

the turbo has almost always been run on ~14psi since fitting as i don't have big enough injectors & fuel pump to support high boost.

only once when i leant some larger injectors from dennis at P.E.T Mods (was trying to tune car for dyno shootout at MAS last year - although the car never went on), we pushed it up to 24psi where my car (Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500) made ~280rwkw on PULP. After MAS i had to give the injectors back as he needed them for his own car, which meant the stock ones went back in and boost went back down to 14psi where it's been ever since.

Price (Garrett GT3040R) = $1600

Price (45mm turbosmart wastegate) = $600

or $2100 as a package.

this package would be ideal for anyone that wants to build a big hp street 4 cyl 2L or RB20/25/30, etc.

fyi, these items are still in my car so for anyone that's interested and in melbourne, you can hear them running for yourself.

i'll try and organise some pics soon so if interested, please reply here or PM me.

thanks for looking.

MasTers,

sorry, i've been a little busy and haven't got round to the pics as yet. hopefully monday.

Shane,

yes it's a genuine Garrett Dual ball-bearing GT3040R.

on my engine (2L sierra cosworth), i had 14psi by about 4200rpm.

power wise, i'm not too sure to be honest as we never did a proper power tune/run on 14psi. It would've been making around 180-190rwkw, although it really woke up when we tuned it at 24psi for MAS last year.

      Ah. OK. I take it back. I hadn't looked closely at the R33/4 arms and presumed that GKTech did as GKTech do everywhere else, which is to use sphericals there. The poly bushings are made to be 100% interchangeable, should use the standard bolt just fine. Every other bush in every other place in pretty much every other car, does.

      @silviaz Ok cool, so much easier with a video. I can see why this video would be confusing for new players.   It is obvious that this entire bonnet is going to be resprayed, have a look in the background around 2:05, you can see a bunch of bare metal on the left side of the bonnet.  It's not an issue for the primer being laid down on the non-prepped clear on the bonnet. It will be sanded off at a later stage.  This might not be obvious to new players, but working on bare metal and factory paint in this instance, the factory paint is like a mountain and the bare metal is a huge valley. The bonnet needs to be levelled flat before it receives it's final stage of colour and clear coat. During this levelling process, the primer that is landing on the clear that you are worried about will be removed.  Also, this guy is out of control. Zero PPE while spraying, maybe he is a good example overall about what not to do lol.

      Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 😂  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.

      It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?

      The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
