$800?

Thats sounds a little too cheap... you sure it isnt some dodge copy?

They retail around $1700 normally... even i couldnt get one for $800 and i would be paying less than RRP

That's exactly what i was thinking.............................................but thought i'd keep my mouth shut

Hopefully it's not some low quality item that pops at 15psi, or after a couple of dyno runs

no its new... genuine brand new garrett direct form garrett... see if you can find someone whos willing to do this favour for you and lives in america... only problem is i have to wait 2 weeks or more for it. but for this turbo i can wait. a long while.

Only question is right. Is this the right replacement turbo I am ordering? its in T3 flavour and im going for the 0.63 version for quicker top power to rev. Can i still install and run this on the same ECU? (stock)

hrmmm do be carefull with this person who's willing to do a favour for you.

I'm unsure exactly what you mean by GT3040. When you say GT3040 to myself and many others that means the GT3082r. 82r being the 52trim 82mm GT40 comp wheel paired with the GT30 60mm turbine wheel.

If this is the case its a poor match. You really are better off with the GT3076r 56t 6 blade 600hp turbo. This is the 'true' GT30r and will make ~300rwkw if not a touch more on good fuel and retain good response. Its very similiar (apart from comp and turbine housing variations) as the HKS3037S. In twin form they have made 700rwkw on a jap GTR and a friends R33 GTST (stock bottom end, thick head gasket) 323rwkw.

IF you want to run around with the .63 turbine a/r your best bet would to step down the compressor to the 52t gt37 variant.

Dropping a large compressor wheel on a restrictive hot side is silly as you won't make a great deal more peak power (if any) but response and spool will suffer. The car will be laggy/peaky for the given power it is making. Definitely not good for a street car.

With that turbo your also going to need:

PowerFC - $1100

Injectors - $800

Fuel Pump - $300

FMIC - $400

Thicker headgasket - $200

Tuning - $300

+ labour if your not mechanically minded and unable to do the work yourself.

The thicker headgasket is recommended, you 'can' get away with the 9:1 comp with lots of boost BUT it really is on a knive edge, give it a little safety and drop the comp ratio slightly if you want to push 300rwkw on stock pistons/comp ratio.

OTHERWISE you will be up for a motor rebuild in no time.

+1 Id be getting some attention to the head too while its off.

Nice port job from miltons and u will have a big improvement with the package
