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 am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
