10mm is enough for a gt30, not sure how much bigger a gt35 comp housing is but you shouldnt need more than 15mm.

MTQ engine systems usually have them in stock

GT30 & GT35 are the same frame, exterior housing sizes are identical.

Its the wheels that are different inside

surely the stock manifold is going to be a restriction on a 35R

Sure is going to be a restriction. 300rwkw is pretty much where everyone has run into drama's

And cosidering a GT35 - 350rwkw+ ... the two are not going to like each other.

can i ask what manifold you recommend ? a 6boost or something of that calibre?

ETM or 6boost are the people to go to for manifolds in the $1200-$1400 region. I wouldn't be spending any less than that, cheaper items just give you headaches.

I'm sure there are other manufacturers around but these two businesses have loads of RB experience which is handy as they offer off-shelf stuff :D

The next level would be items from Full Race (US) and similar outfits.

You are talking $2000+ then and really would only be used on the highest end/big budget style setups.

There is Jap stuff as well, but i'd go locally for this.

Only reason i'd use the Jap stuff is in say a Trust "KIT" where you get everything (turbo/gate/manifold etc)

"GT30 & GT35 are the same frame, exterior housing sizes are identical.

Ah , no actually the GT3582R's compressor housing and backplate/adapter are T04S . They are the same as what a GT3040R/GT3082R uses on its compressor end but the GT3071R and GT3076R/GT3037's use T04E housings and adapter rings .

A .

Oh ic ic ... i should have added the "40(82)" on the end of the GT30 :D

I know they are the same size as i did the numbers moons ago for my own placement.

I didn't know the smaller ones used smaller dimensions, interesting :)

I fitted a GT3582 last week and got a 10mm spacer laser cut up for $5 at any laser cutting joint, just give them ur turbo gasket as template

unless ofcourse u would be dumb enough to go purchase one thru mtq or gcg and get ripped blind.

just a heads up.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.
