Hi. This is directed at BigCarl, I tried to PM you but it said that your PM service was not setup & that you did not have permissions to PM???

Sorry, I know this is off topic a bit but I cant contact BigCarl any other way...

I noticed that you have a hybrid GT30 with the nissan RB exhaust housing. I wanted to ask you if you used the hpInABox oil/water kit?

I have just ordered the same turbo with the oil/water kit and was wondering if there was anything else that I would need to fit the lines? The guy at HpInABox said that the oil line should be fine but the water line on the engine side might not fit & that I would have to get a nother fitting for that side of the line.

Also did you use the waist gate actuator that they supply? If so how hard was it to modify to fit?

Any tips on fitting this turbo (from anyone) would be a great help.

Thanks in advance

yes purchased oil and water lines from hpiabox ,my mechanic used some fittings from standard turbo to fit waterlines. if i had my car id take some photos but still having new motor fitted and run in e.t.c. but could take some photos next week.

Thanks bigCarl:

I think I have it under control. If I can use fittings from the existing lines for the new lines then that would be great. What Did you do for the elbow out of the comp housing to the intercooler?

[sweetr33]

sweetr33, my brother's friend might have just the exh housing for the vg30 left in his garage but need to clean up to find it! if you really interested let me know. i will ask him!!

[Bass Junky]

Believe me, he's interested!

[Cubes]

Every one seems to have them down here in Adelaide.

But as said.. They want $550-$600 for them.

i used a ninety degree piece of 2.5 inch mandrel bent mild steel, utilising stock cooler pipeing and silicon hose. i think thay you can buy the ninety degree silicon hose but looks dodgy to me??? gcg sell it.

[GunMetalR33]

Thanks for all the info mate, putting her in this weekend . I noticed that you said you were running 20psi, does that make the rubber piping from the AFM to your turbo suck inwards?? Or have you replaced it with a steel version?

How did you connect the 2.5 inch mandrel bend to the turbo, I dont think its 2.5 inchs?

Sorry about all the questions guys, I will stay on topic after this I promise

Seems that for all the time and trouble a TT conversion is so much easier......unless a turbo lunches itself and eats the front 3 cylinders. Also works out to about the same cost for a diy job.

I've measured the Comp wheel and taken pictures.

From my measurements (not really sure what to measure) the smaller top part of the comp wheel measured up at 46mm.

The larger bottom part of the comp wheel measured up at 63mm.

That would make the wheel a 53.3trim?

Trim = ((inducer)squared / (exducer)squared) X 100

Does garret list specs for this wheel?

The closest I can find to a 53trim is a TO4 54trim?

I will have a bit more of a look when I get some more time.

They were ~$250 until SOMEONE blabbed about how useful they were and then the price went up.

At least this time it wasn't me, unlike the R32GTST wastegate actuators, they used to be ~free until I opened my big mouth.

cheers

Stoopid damn capitalism!
