Looking for new turbo, garrett reccommended 3040R with .63 housing.

They said would not be laggy and being 600hp would make more then enough power.

any thoughts and experience with this turbo? especially on rb20?

it is ext gated! Due to it not being a straight bolt on is it going to cost heaps to have put on with new wastegate etc etc.

Is that kind of set up "Cop bait"?

thanks

I run one on my ca18 with all the necessary hardware and i really think its more like 510-520hp. we made 415whp @27psi on bp ultimate ezy tune dont think there would be much more in it and its a little laggy although would be good on a 6cyl 2.0ltr.

I personally think the .64 housing wont be that bad on an RB20. If you get a good port job done and an aggressive camshaft set up I think this will come on boost nice and early.

Ok in regards to your question about if the turbo is internally or externally gated. I think they come in both but dont quote me on it.

Cop bait! OH YEA!!! Especially if you are living in Melbourne.

Hope this info helps

dude,

what are u after out of your car?

the gt3040r (with A/R .63) is quite a big turbo and wouldn't be all that responsive for a street driven RB20DET.

it all comes down to how much power you are looking for out of your car and how/when you want to make that power.

i personally had one of these on my car (sierra cosworth), and although it made pretty good power (~280rwkw @ 24psi), it didn't provide the response i actually wanted. this was due to the big compressor wheel it has.

so as above, work out exactly what u want out of the car and then we'll try to help you.

Dude, drop me a PM, i'll try to help you out.

good luck.

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
