Its a T3 flange. It will fit on the standard RB20/25 manifold, however, you need to weld a spacer to the manifold so that the comp cover clears the block. Not a huge job, i got GCG in Sydney to do mine. It would be perfect for an R33 engine id say. Yes, i have receipts; not sure about warranty, i didnt ask at time of purchase. It is quite new though.

Nismoid, Im not sure what you mean by the OLDER style TO4 wheel?? As this turbo is only about 8 months old, and is an off the shelf Garrett item i would have thought its pretty new stuff. I was of the opinion that TO4's were old tech truck stuff, but im not an expert, so best to speak to GCG for that sort of stuff. I thought the 0.82 was 550hp and the 1.06 was 600hp.

Nismoid, you have a PM. Please reply.

nice turbo indeed.  

Is this a 500 or a 550hp version dude?

As it has the older t04 wheel i think it then makes it in the 500 range if i recall correctly.

I had exactly the same turbo on my rb20, made 200kw atw easily without pushing all that hard. The big front cover keeps the heat down and makes that awesome hollow choof sound. The front wheel is capable of pushing 550hp worth of air, but its the core design that sets these apart from the old t04's, mine would be still spinning 25 -30 sec's after switching car off! A very responsive (for its size) and durable turbo and at $1500 sounds like an awesome investment for r32 or r33, of r34 for that matter. Wish I could get em that price when I bought mine. Oh Yeah and I have a modified vg30 (to suit gt30) housing with integral w/ gate available for those who may want to put on stock manifold, also a split dump pipe stainless. see my thread.

Yeah, it does take a while to spin down due to the ball bearing core!

Please take note that these Garrett GT30 Ball Bearing Turbos do not have the "older style" TO4 wheels in them. They do, however, have a TO4s (the addition of the "S") trim compressor wheel in them which is the current model GT Spec super duper compressor wheel.

Please dont be fooled by the TO4 thing and its old technology connotations, as this is not the case at all.

And the above bloke is right; it is an excellent price considering the lack of use this thing has had.

Hi Shaun,

Is it the Exhaust A/R or the Inlet A/R that dictates HP rating? I'm very interested but not sure if it will do the job on my new rb30det. I am aiming for a little over 300rwkw. Is this turbo big enough for this target?

cheers

QQQQ, you have PM. Im sure this turbo will suit your needs and provide excellent response.

All the specs of the GT30 series turbos are provided on the GCG website under technical info and specifications of the GT25 - GT35 range.

Youll also find that these things are $2650 new.

Assuming you mean low mount on the standard manifold, you need the following:

• A spacer welded on the manifold flange so that the comp cover clears the block.

• A screemer pipe welded into the manifold so that an external wastegate can be used.

• New water and oil lines.

• New dump pipe

• New induction piping to suit the 4inch bell mouth

• Modified intercooler piping to the turbo.

It worked well on my RB20, but if i had my time over again, id just go high mount. just my opinion. The turbo is sold anyway........finally!

Hi Shaun

Im considering getting a GT30R or a Garrett T3/T4 for my RB20 and just wondering what rev range the GT30 would start getting boost at when you had it on your car?

Ive heard some people say it will not get positive boost until at least 5000rpm?

Is this true?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
