Hey guys.

I'm currently contemplating buying a .63 rear housing (internally gated and v-band dump) for my 35/40 off Hypergear. Just wondering if anyone has used them in the past and where they happy with what they got.

Is it brand new gear that you get off them or just reconditioned parts and housings? I will probably end up going with them as it seems to be my best option at the moment.

Get a smaller turbo then.

Putting a .63 on a GT35 will cause undue restriction, and it won't improve things "much" better.

Yeah was thinking of buying a smaller turbo, but dont really have the funds at the moment to do so. I thought i may as well do with what i got at the moment.

Why would Garrett sell a GT35 turbo with a .63 rear housing option if it is not a real good option??

Because they already have the housing.

Offering an option is merely adding to product coverage.

The .63 has its place. But not on a RB25 with a 700hp turbo mate.

By the sound of it you'd be better off with a GT3071 which even in a .82 - would come on sooner than a GT35 with a .63 and be MUCH more linear and progressive (read: less epic wheel spin as boost hits)

Hypergear can provide you with what you want, from what i've seen all the housings etc he has are brand new, not reconditioned

but Ash is spot on the money, the turbo you have is better matched to a 3 - 4 Litre engine, not a 2.5L

and i understand you may not have the funds, but trying to make the turbo you have more responsive is not only a waste of time and money, but you'll find it won't really be what you're looking for, you'll basically be restricting it with such a small rear housing and have fairly erratic power output

a garrett gt3071r or gt3076r 0.82 will both be much better suited to an rb25, in regards to power and response as a package... you won't be dissapointed

the new Garrett GTX3071r 0.82 (the 5 bolt rear garrett design, not modified copies) with correct supporting mods will see power figures of 270-300rwkw on 98ron and response of fullbost (17-19psi) by around 3600-3700rpm ... with slight modifications to the standard heatshields it can be installed to look fairly standard too!... as opposed to your externally gated 3540 which wouldn't look so standard

food for thought

Thanks heaps guys for your input. Definitely has given me something to think about. And yes Ruffels i do want the engine bay to look somewhat standard as the cops don't really appreciate if a external gate is right there in their face.

A mate with a 3540 went there, Stao have re-configured the front wheel and engineered that into a set of stock R34 turbo housings. It was heaps more responsive after its done, and looks completely stock from out side. from memory it costed just over $400.

That sounds like an even worse option.

I mean you cannot "reconfigure" a wheel. It's either you change it to another one or you don't.

So it wouldn't be a GT35/700hp comp wheel any more for a start, and if it still is - its TOO BIG for those housings as already stated.

Buy a turbo correctly, once. Be happy forever

      No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.

      That's a write off for sure... Part out? 馃槢 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...

      It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
