What other mods have you got? What engine management are you using?

injectors, fuel pump, external wastegate, fmic, 3" zorst, elec boost @ 15psi

running GReddy e-manage

proper tune with g/box sorted should net 350-400rwhp

Yes  to the port shrouded .60 AR covered six blade unit . This turbo's (GT30R) part no is  700382-12 and is sold without turbine housing . 704902-1 and -2 are the part no's for 1.06 and .82 AR exhaust housings . DO NOT FIT BORED OUT T3 or T04 exhaust housings as the nozzle section is different and does not work properly with the GT type turbine .

Hey Kamikaze,

thats nice early boost. What is the power output? any other mods done? How does the t04e hit? nice and hard? :aroused:

i just ordered a gt30r from cheapturbo.com it is the 'right' gt30r with the 6 blade wheel and shrouded inlet.

its gonna be going onto a rb20 so i got the .63 ar turbine to help it get going.

i think with cams and the hks exhaust manifold i have it should do pretty well for what im looking at.

1 bar at 3500 is not bad at all, if i can get that on my rb20 i will be more than happy, seeing as i plan on running low boost around town (10psi) while high boost will be in the 17psi range.

RB180SX , just been back to the HKS USA site the compressor inducer should be 57mm for a 56 trim comp wheel . The turbine exducer diameter should be 55mm . If you look at the HKS GT3037 Pro S version they mention two T3 flanged integrally gated exhaust housings in .68 and .87AR . The exhaust outlet is called GT Pro and if anyone has pics of it I'd like to see them . Its pretty obvious the .68 is aimed at RB20DET's and the .87 at RB25DET's .

Brett Lloyd of GCG Turbos (Condell Park Syd) sells some HKS Turbine housings seperatly and may have these as well . If they can be obtained either of them on the back of a GT30R should make an easy convienent conversion on a single turbo RB six , always assuming the compressor cover cleared everything and same with the waste gate actuator . Not having seen the GT Pro outlet I'm not sure what elbow pattern it uses . HKS sometimes makes these things vehicle specific so it may be like the RB20/25 outlet .

So many choises , cheers A .

Can you get the gt30r with a flange to fit the stock exhaust manifold? The reason i ask is i have a high mount manifold with the stock turbo flange, i wanted to use this to mount the gt30r there and tap in a wastegate pipe.

Also, when i get this turbo what size wastegate should i use? Max boost would probly be about 16 psi.. I want to use the .68 exhaust housing to try bring boost on a little quicker if that makes any difference.

Cheers :D

dont get the 0.68 rear housing as it will bring on power 2 early in the rpm and just causing wheel spin.

Go for a 0.82 or 0.86 rear housing.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
