T3 Flange is what we want right ?? But need external gate on the manifold - means hacking existing manifiold or fabricating a new one - in which case the flange spec don't matter cause you wil be fabricating a new one anyhoo.

Sounds expensive.....

That's not Merli's - I doub't Andrew would seperate :

This is the GT3040 that CGC sells - but in a package with standard (modified) manifold and external TIAL gate.

Pretty pricey - and I wouldn't use the standard manifold......

I'm a little concerened with lag - as I understand anything over about 600HP is getting up there in the lag stakes.

I suppose one could just keep the revs over 4000RPM - then no lag problem right ?

B-man,

fyi, the two turbos which GCG list as "GSB8005A" & "GSB8006" are actually two totally different turbo cores as per Ray Hall's website. the specs are as follows;

i) GT30 (GSB8005A - 700177-0011) : Rated at 475hp

* A/R 0.70 comp housing

* 52 trim compressor wheel (TO4S - 2.17"/3.00")

* 50 lbs/min max. comp flow

* A/R 0.82 exhaust housing

* 90 trim exhaust wheel (2.11"/2.22")

ii) GT30 (GSB8006 - 700177-0014) : Rated at 600hp

* A/R 0.70 comp housing

* 64 trim compressor wheel (GT40 - 2.41"/3.22")

* 65 lbs/min max. comp flow

* A/R 1.06 exhaust housing

* 84 trim exhaust wheel (2.16"/2.36")

the 2nd unit would be what is considered the Garrett GT3040 as it uses the 64 trim compressor wheel from the GT40 family along with the A/R 1.06 exhaust housing to allow for great air/gas flow.

Any smaller exhaust housing would make it more streetable although max power would be limited due to exhaust flow restriction with the smaller housing.

cheers.

No they don't, all Garrett GT30 turbos and higher are T3 exhaust flange.

The HKS GT3040 turbo uses a GT25 flange. Some HKS turbo come in T3, some with GT25, check it out here:

For those who care, this is the difference between HKS GT3040 and Garrett GT3040, HKS just Garrett parts mixed up in various combos, with proprietary housing designs:

HKS:

Rated at 500hp

* A/R 0.70 comp housing

* 50 trim compressor wheel (58mm/82mm)

* A/R 1.12 exhaust housing GT25 flange

* 84 trim exhaust wheel (60mm/55mm)

Garrett:

Rated at 550-600hp, depending on exhaust A/R

* A/R 0.7 comp housing

* 64 trim compressor wheel (61.3mm/82mm)

* A/R between 0.82-1.06 exhaust housing T3 flange

* 84 trim exhaust wheel (60mm/55mm)

Check the number of blades and the actual design of the compressor/turbine. It's a bit more than just mix n' match from a Garrett spare parts bin.

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
