muchly asked question no doubt but i cant find much on it. ive been told my gtr is still a while away from being completed, so ive decided to do a gradual build up. the car has everything but turbo/s. i was jus gonna stick some 2530s on it, which my sale of them fell thru!! but now decided i wanna go the big single with alot of power. what im looking for is around 600-650hp at wheels. as per usual, minimal lag is wanted. my engine is fully built, but im yet to get the exact specifications of my cams etc as the guy who built it is away till after new year. it used to run twin gt28's n made 340kw at wheels, but i didnt get turbos with the car. the car is running a motec m800 ecu, which will be tuned by either CRD or CV Performance. CV played part in tuning my brothers torana, which featured in this months street machine aka MR MAD. any help is muchly appreciated.

thnak you, novak.

Housings , the Garrett marketed edition uses garden variety TO4 P trim turbine housings in a variety of single/twin entry T3 or T4 flange patterns . I think there is a choise of TO4S compressor housings or an "R" ? housing still researching that one .

The HKS edition uses a unique turbine housing in twin entry T4 flange pattern , it is not a true split pulse housing because the divider only goes in a short way .

The compressor cover is a huge thing with a 70mm outlet rather than the usual TO4S housings 60mm outlet . It has a fancy drilled port shroud fitting on the front as well .

There are some people in Perth using them who say that the compressor wheel (TO4R) is not prone to surge and non port shrouded covers work well .

Just to throw some variety into the mix Full Race in the US offer the same compressor with the GT35 turbine (GT3567R) which is a recent development and looks good so far . This turbine is a little smaller than a TO4 P trim and possibly lighter for approx the same exhaust gas flow rate . For the propeller heads the GT35 turbine is a 68mm 84 trim , TO4 P trim is a 74.2mm 76 trim .

I also found mention of a GT4067R which is the GT40 turbine with the TO4R compressor . For some reason the Americans call a compressor by its inlet diameter ie TO4R is 84.2 x 66.7 so it gets called 67 ?

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
