GTX series turbos, albeit reliable are quite dated now.

I run a Garrett GTX3576R Gen 2 with a T3 1.01 divided housing and I get 0.8bar of boost by 4000rpm and about 4600rpm is when it's all in (1.8bar) on a 2.5L, VCT NEO, 264/272 cams + usual mods.

Makes a sensible 437kW on E85. I do rev the motor to 8600rpm but at about 7500rpm or so it's not making anymore power.

If I had the opportunity to do it again, I would get a Turbosmart 6262 or a Garrett G35-900. Probably same response but will go 500kW+

I’m thinking of parring the G30-660 with a T3 .82 twinscroll. What do you think? 

Which brand turbine housing are you getting? 

Garrett seem to have dropped focus on anything twin scroll as of late. They only have it in T4 1.06.

That’s what I’m noticing… seems like a popular size is 0.82 A/R, I’m considering this:

T3 twinscroll .82AR, but I’m unsure what brand because I’m not seeing Garett having the option.  

Awwww, the 7670 was the best turbo I ever had! But it (and the 660) is probably 'too big'. It also does come in twinscroll and T4, waaaah, return the Garrett!

Realistically either is going to be great, presumably you can find a suitable housing for the rear. I had a T4 1.05 rear with the EFR (it's the only option, too) and it was great response wise, but I also had a 2.8.

Garrett's 1.05 might be alright? I mean they make it for a reason after all. Surely they don't expect the G30-660 to be suitable for like a 4L motor only and couldn't conceive of having a smaller housing for a smaller motor...

Those are some serious numbers! Based on the input I’ve received, seems like the G-series would be the move for same power and response 🙌🏾

Thanks for sharing, and confirming that a G-series turbo is the move! I can post my before and after dyno results and see what changes going from a GTX to G-series has

I’m seeing T3 to T4 twin scroll adapters. This should work?

Feels kinda silly stacking plates and adding another gasket. 

Sorry for some reason I thought you had a T4 Twinscroll manifold, not T3! I wouldn't put adapters on adapters. Just another gasket to fail or thing to sit in the wrong spot or other annoying complication.

Well… maybe I do go back and look into the 7670? I’m seeing a .72 T3 twinscroll option. 
 

how does the spool compare to the g30-660 series?

Issue with this are gaskets failures (x2) as mentioned above also it raises the turbo up further which may cause packaging issues etc.

I suppose if you have an experienced fabricator around, you could cut off the T3 flange and weld a T4 divided flange.

Another option (probably better) is to find an experienced turbo builder and they can machine a turbine housing to suit.

I would even ask Tao at Hypergear to machine and send one over to you. Might end up cheaper for you.

I’ll reach out to him and see what options we have on building a custom housing. I’ll report back

Close, but it’s not a twinscroll housing :( looking for a divided T3

Ah, yes. I forgot that part.

At this point I would concur with the earlier suggestion of having the manifold modded to get a T4 TS flange put on. I don't think there is a T3 TS housing option for these.

On top of that, there is the whole problem of what is your expectation for a wastegate?

I’ve reached out to HyperGear to see if they could build a compatible exhaust housing. We’ll see what they say! 
 

I currently have an external 44mm tial wastegate on my manifold.

Posting an update:

Contacted HyperGear, Tao said he might be able to build a T3 .82 TS Vband! Waiting to hear back on cost and shipping. 

Update 2: To make a custom TS T3 .82 Vband housing to suit a G30 super core, it will be $1000AUD. I’m still inquiring shipping cost 

9 hours ago, GTSBoy said:

Not too bad. Horrible compared to non-twinscroll options available, but not as much as genuine. So....workable.

Probably still smarter to convert manifold to T4.

Update 3: shipping will be 100AUD. 

I do think a total of 1100AUD is doable for a custom built G30-660 T3 TS .82 A/R Vband, but I’m also finding T3 to T4 TS adapters for $67AUD and a .85 A/R TS T4 housing for 500AUD.  I know the turbo would sit about 1.25cm higher (which means redoing my downpipe and intercooler piping) and two gaskets…

    • Struggled as well. Got a 3:33.250 but couldn't find the half a second to get silver. I always slowed too much at the Esses du Karting section (specifically the last left hander going on to Maison Blanche). There's a good 1 - 1.5 seconds to be picked up there for sure. The other 1.5 seconds needed for gold would be just cleaning up the rest of the slower corners. I did notice though watching the ghost replays of guys getting 3:25's, they used the green painted surfaces to the extreme, with barely the inside tyres on the ripple strips. It looked like they had the car completely on the green paint at times (but obviously still contacting the ripple strips). 
    • Good afternoon SAU Team , I thought I would a quick update on the 400R , so far a quick ICE system mod using carlinkit , I can run full android without a phone , but it does allow for wireless carplay/android auto, loads a bit slow but everything works well. But the better update is ,I just received Fujitsubo exhaust straight  from Japan thanks to the guys at Black Hawk (https://www.blackhawkjapan.com/) (highly recommended)around 3k mark with shipping and GST . Will install this weekend , I'll post some updated pictures then.

    • Constant tension spring clamps need to be replaced if bent past a certain point. Once they turn to a certain age it's also an automatic replacement in my book. They get rusty and lose their tension. Also once hoses get to a certain age if you don't set the clamp exactly in the groove when disconnecting/reconnecting the hose it will almost certainly leak. As mentioned before you should also cap off the idle-up valve to make sure it's not sucking fluid or leaking air into the system. It's generally speaking less demotivating to figure out which change fixed your problem vs failing over and over until you locate the problem precisely.
    • Yeah , boot clamp was solid/ not sure how it got there but no leak so all good   there is loads of green grease still so do think it is likely to be a special grease or something    thanks again for your help mate to shed the light
