GDay,

im putting a single Garrett GT35 turbo on my RB26 and was after peoples experiences with boost threshold for different turbine housings. Im tossing up between the 0.82A/R and the 1.06A/R turbine housing on the GT35. Does anyone have first hand experience of when i can expect boost with either of these housings?

The engine has forged internals, no head work, and standard cams for the time being.

I suspect it'll be the 0.86A/R because i want response for street driving, but i just thought i'd ask as the difference between the two housings is 100hp i think.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Depending where you look, it varies between 20 hp difference and 100 hp. I did find an 80 hp variance in one place.

Gotta love acurate net info ...

Everyone seems to rate the 1.06 rear one as 700hp.

The .86 rear seems to vary between 620hp and 680hp ......

actaully just found a site that rates the .86 rear as 700 hp too

Be really nice to know exactly what the .86 rear one is rated at if anyone knows for sure ??

The Garret Catalog rates the .82 and 1.06 from 400 - 600 hp ....

.82 housing will be better for street use as 1.06 is better suited for bigger capacity engines, dont get me wrong, it will work, but at about 3800-4000rpm

Thanks guys. I know its a bit of a touchy subject (Re: single or twin turbos for street use), but im going to try to get the best of both worlds and go for street friendly response with a single high mount turbo. Ive had a mismatched turbo before (GT30 0.86a/r on RB20) and the boost threshold was way too high for my liking. It came on full at about 4200rpm. Id like boost by 3300 or so with my RB26 package, however, i dont want it to die off too much in the top end either. I dont know if im kidding myself though.

Any other thoughts/experiences would be appreciated.

what boost level are you planning on running with this setup?

what kind of power are you really after?

i don't know about the other guys, but i don't think you'll see fullboost (i.e., ~15psi +) at 3300rpm with your RB26/GT35 (A/R .82).

if you're after fullboost at that kind of rpm and you want it to be streetable with plenty of poke, i'd recommend you go for a Garrett GT30R with A/R .82 exhuast housing.

it will be very streetable and still make a peak power of 300rwkw with ease, with a very good average power in the usable rpm range.

Id probably run up to 1.5 Bar. I definately want over 300rwkw; Id be stoked to get 350, but thats pushing it a bit seeing as though i want low down response too. The engine is going in my gtst, so its a two wheel drive format.

Whats the difference between a GT30R and a GT35?

Also, all the highmount manifolds around are only available in T4 flange. Does anyone know if you can get Garrett turbos with a T4 flange? Theres one advertised in the For Sale section but i didnt know if it was a typo because i thought all Garretts came in T3 only.

Shaun.

Thanks Bezerkley; the problem with GCG is that they dont have highmount manifolds for the RB26 yet; ive been waiting for about 6months for them to come in. Are you talking about putting 30/40bb turbos on RB20/25 GCG manifolds? Because they have those in stock.

I can get the manifold in a T4 flange so maybe instead of modifying the manifold ill look at getting the turbo in T4 flange.

Anyone know of any other places that offer highmount RB26 manifolds with a T3 flange.

GCG Hi mount manifold has T3 Flange. We have fitted 30/40bb turbos on these manifolds.

You can get exhaust housing in T4 flange if you need it.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
