quincy777 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/81393-garrett-3040r-on-rb20/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

R31Nismoid Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 it wont be 600hp with a .63 rear housing IMO Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/81393-garrett-3040r-on-rb20/#findComment-1480473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan1200 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 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.

manage13 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/81393-garrett-3040r-on-rb20/#findComment-1485040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee 33 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 A 600hp turbo on an RB20 will be laggy. Honestly, how could it not? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/81393-garrett-3040r-on-rb20/#findComment-1485211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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.
