Hey Guys,

I spoke with Stao from Hypergear for a turbo for my fairly stock RB30/25 and he sold me the ATR43 G2 with an .82 rear housing. So I went with it but after pulling the stock rb25 turbo, I am wondering i am going to get worth while gains.I see a lot of people putting ATR43 G3 on stock RB25's (with supporting mods). Am wondering if I am wasting my time fitting this turbo and should I be going for a G3?

GT30 on an RB30 would be quite fun. It would probly spool like a stock rb25 turbo on an rb25, but make power hehe.

Would the GT30 be a little on the small side though?

not quiet the same. stock 25 usually makes 12 odd psi by around 2500rpm i think. gt3076 on a 30det usually makes 1 bar by around 3500rpm. i wouldnt go any bigger for a street car

Wow that sucks. My GT30 makes 17psi earlier than that on a 25. lol

Go have a look @ the graph and see for yourself then :D

I cannot remember exactly, but its up and on early as!

Does taper off upper RPM, but that's to be expected as its making 330rwkw on PULP which is pretty much limits met

That is a pretty accurate description of what to expect. Cubic capacity gives a lot more torque at idle, turbo lights up early, and can blow hard to make a lot of stick. For road use the 0.82 housing is very good match, maybe a bit restrictive if you want to run for extended periods at high rpm ie. on the track. The GT3037 might be a superceded unit but it is a good thing.

i have driven al's car and I can tell you it is the most fun RB setup i have ever driven....

power everywhere! boost from like 2400 revs and just frys the tyres in any gear at any time.

I have a car that makes the same power as al's car (330 rwkw) out of a 25 and it's just a whole different ballgame. i wouldn't go any smaller.... but it's 1 KILLER setup

my GT35 on my 3L is that responsive, try 2500-3000 for a GT30

turbo not too small,

25/30, 330rwkw, 3076R.82 rear (atrG3 equiv)

Yeah i never meant it was too small as in the way the car drives, more like how the stock rb25 turbo is too small for that engine.

A .82 on an RB30 is awesome for drags and lurking on the street but i feel like the .82 would get a bit warm if you wanted to race it at full noise all the time. :)

That was a wicked launch. Hehe.

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
