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.

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
