Yea but im sure that rb30 was build to handle 30+Psi lol

Can front wheels and covers be swapped over like rear ones?

Yes they can but you will find it is a very expensive exercise! Rear housing from Garret from memory was $600+

And yes +1 to a .63 housing being way to small on a 3L it will choke up for sure IMHO it is a bit of a misfit size in the Garrett range...

The .82 is not too bad on a stock RB25 more suited to a built motor but it will be a good balance between not having to buy a new turbo when you get the 3L cause a .82 on a 3L is a response monstor :domokun: I personally have a 1.06 rear on my 3L and wouldnt have it any other way as it feds on the power so nicely. Also I might add mine is internal gate and am having no problems with boost control 7psi actuator and a Turbosmart T and holds dead on 15psi.

And is it definately internal gate?

hahaha

Thanks for the info guys, For now i think im going to wire the Internal Gate shut, Mod my manifold to house an external gate and still use the .63 rear. I like it at the moment how i can cruise around at the moment like everything is normal but flat foot it off the line in first and it doesn't break traction. If the .63 generates too much heat ill put an external gate rear .82 housing on the turbo and keep it that was until i wack it on a 3L.

Thanks for the Info.

Hey guy,

I think 'the mafia" did a gt30 with a .63 rear end. Search for his threads. I dunno if you're already onto it, but it makes for a good read.

Also, just something I would consider if I was in your shoes... Why don't you use the GT35 with a ext gate setup until you get your 3.0l

from what everyone on hear says, the ext gate spools the turbo quicker, and then you have an upgrade path. You may or may not want a .82 rear house when you 3.0l, but that's then, not now.

You have the XR6T version yeah? with the 0.50 front cover?

How does that affect compressor flow?

I do but also have a .7 cover

There is no noticeable difference between the .5 and .7 without changing the tune, might get some gains when it gets retuned though...

I have found that bigger turbo's with low boost make heaps of wastegate air. So if the gate is too small, and or the waste gate dump is to small, the issue comes where the gate cannot dump enough gas to stop the turbo from spooling up.

yea we figured that one out, going external gate so will resolve that...I was talking more of whether the .63 rear can flow enough through it to cope with the gt35 front cover and the volume of air its producing to not create too much heat.

If i were in your predicament, i would seriously consider selling it and buying a proper matched turbo. As you seem aware, a 3082 is behind the 8 ball, as teh ex wheel is too small to generate enough torque to accelerate the rotating mass quickly. And by using a .63 exhaust, it is partially alliviating that, but adding high backpressure to the equation. I would be fitting a .82 3076, as IMO it is the ideal turbo for an rb25 after 280-300rwkw. Even if you fit the rb30 (which i dont think you will need to)the same turbo can be used, and fry the tyres up to the legal speed limit with more response than you can poke a stick at. If you feel you must have more than 300rwkw, then bite the bullet and get a real gt35r, with a .82internal or you can get away with an external gate .63, but i believe on pump fuel the exhaust backpressure will limit the power to far less than the comp wheel is capable of making. We need something between a gt30 and gt35!

i find this topic interesting....

Just incase anyone cares...

my gt35 with .63 rear isn't as laggy as you'd originally expect.

3000rpm = 0.56bar 8psi

3500rpm = 0.82bar 12psi

4000rpm = 1.04bar 15psi

Once external gate is fitted should be fairly good.

Just hoping the .63 rear doesn't choke up the gt35 housing too much in the top end. For the conservative boost ill be using it shouldn't.

^^ thats fairly laggy IMO.

I had my GT30 .82 on by 4200rpm and was over 15psi and make more power than you will be able too :yucky:

500rpm to get that last 3psi once spooling is indicative of the large compressor side

after 4k the boost sky rockets but thats when i back off, yet to see what it does after that.

yea but at the end of the day, It's all about experimenting....gimme a break...i just spend 2k on this turbo, gotta stay positive hehe.

I'm not doin it to beat anyone else...doin if for my own thrills.

It's fairly laggy i know but off boost it drives great and doesn't break traction which is what i was after.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
