So i am currently running the stock turbo and in the process of upgrading turbos. I've had a spare garrett gt3082r sitting around i was thinking of installing, bit unsure how laggy it will be, so i was also thinking of going the atr43g3sat or similar.

 

I couldn't find much info comparing the 2 turbos, which is why i decided to make this topic, but basically I'd ideally like 300rwkw on p98 or as close as possible, without being a complete lag machine. The car is driven once on a weekend and mainly used for track work at winton and sandown.

I don't know much about turbos but the gt3082r is running a .82 and externally gated, could go .63 but not sure. I was thinking maybe atr43g3sat with a .82 external also, well whatever you guys recommend really.

Go the Garrett since you have it. Should be fine with .82

I put a 3540 on an RB30 using a .63 and wish I had gone a bigger rear. It picked up really quickly but ran out of puff too early.

You don't think it will be a complete lag machine? Im not too worried about it being abit laggy driving around the street, i just dont want it holding me back when im exiting corners around sandown/winton.

 

Then theres the question of gt3082r with .63 or .82 hmmm.

3082 + 0.82 will do what you need on track.  As Bob suggested, you've got it, should use it.

It's the rest of the car setup that will be the challenge. Getting that 34 into and through the corners efficiently is much harder than getting it to pull off the corners

ATR43G3SAT turbine is more efficient then a GT30 turbine. This is the reason that I recommend to run them in .63 rear with Rb25det engines. Both comp wheel and turbine housing is smaller then GT3082 in .82 rear, so that would be more responsive in comparison. 

Since you already got the GT3082 you might want to use it, if you find it too laggy for your application we can have it modified for better response, down size to ATR43G3SAT or looking into ATR45SAT.

Thanks for the response, i like the sound of modifying it for better response, what does that include exactly? Also would you suggest the 3082r in .63 or .82? I'd like it closer to 300rwkw or around there, on p98 and not a complete lag machine.

GT30 turbine wheel in .82 rear is a good combination for a Rb25det NEO, it performs well both internally or externally gated. I would keep that housing. 

Getting better response you can down size the comp wheel to 76mm or one of our SS2 Billet 74mm wheels with a none surge slot comp housing plus a 4 inches metal intake pipe. That would be quite responsive to drive and capable of reaching around 300rwkws.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
