great turbos, only difference between this and the garrett GT35/40 1.06 rear is the *slightly* smaller compressor wheel and different A/R on the thing. with a GT40 compressor though, it's not really an issue, they're capable of big airflow!

Yes turbo is for sale. The only difference between this turbo and an aftermarket GT35R (GT3540) is the smaller A/R compressor housing. The wheels are identical and are not smaller.

Please don't post rumours or unvalidated facts as this is what led me to purchasing one of these turbos in the first place .... to find out it is exactly the same wheel sizes. Hence why it's too big for my purposes.

Hi,

It looks like a really nice turbo. Im after something that will bolt on and offer more power.

What kind of applications will it suit?

How laggy will it be on a rb25?

What power output is it capable of?

My car has excedy clutch, blitz ic, full exhaust, pod, power fc and blitz ebc.

So once I upgrade my turbo I will need to get a z32 afm and a fuel pressure reg or better injectors.

Thanks

Mark

If you look up on www.turbofast.com.au you can see that they rate this size turbo and exhaust housing at 700hp.

Fatz(Pete) has one on his RB26, I think he posted it makes full boost in the late 4xxxrpm?

If using it on an RB25 I would strongly recommend cams, AFM, injectors, intercooler etc. It should make an easy 300rwkw+.

Thankyou for your reply :P

I think this turbo could possibly be too big for my needs, Im after something that will make full boost in the late 3xxxrpm's and make mid to high 2xx kw range.

Sorry if I have inconvenienced you at all.

P.S Would you know of something suitable at a similar price???

Thankyou

Mark

just going on what the garrett supplier told me when he measured the wheels. the one he measured was definately smaller than the standard GT40 compressor wheel but not by much. maybe there's different revisions of the ford turbo out there? :P

good turbos

abit laggy however i found mine had a echaust leak that i will finally be fixed theis week will report back if theboost resonse increases

these turbos are making 400rwkw on other cars

pete

Will check to see if the lines are the same diameter and thread, it's just a Garrett GT30 core so it should be similar. Not sure about the dump pipe, there might be a couple of companies offering the dump to suit Ford which may be similar.

Should be more than capable of making 300kw @ all 4 wheels, if there are already people making 400 in rwd mode then 300 @ awd would be a shoe in.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
