what would you guys reccomend for around the same $$$

i have:ecu is a tuned rom, I have a turbo back exhaust although factory dump pipe,

My fuel system is pritty much factor except for a bosch 044 fuel pump making heaps of noise in my boot.

I have a excedy heavy duty single plate clutch, pod filter, and blitz lm type intercooler.

The car is making 160kw's on 13psi which is getting boring and would like to make 220kw's or so in the future.

check out the hks gt28rs specs and speak to gcg.com.au and see if they can make you an equivalent garrett spec to match the power output suitable for your rb20

unless you dont mind spending more $$$ and paying for a hks label turbo

a garrett gt28rs and hks gt28rs arent the same as far as i know

The GT30 is an awsome turbo, highly recommend it! I am using the non-wastegated version though with a .82 housing (no lag). Garrett dont produce an internal gated GT30 this seems to be done by http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/cat...ategory12_1.htm, "We are able to modify your wastegated exhaust housing to accommodate the Gt30 core in most cases, providing a great bolt on upgrade".

Luke.

p.s.

Try this link http://www.xspeed.com.au/ssport/39ecr33/ this r33gtst making 405hp at the wheels on completly stock engine using a gt30.

I've herd that the internal wasgated version of the GT30 is a dodgy version ???

Sounds like a parts bin turbo, not "developed" as such.

I don't think so!! These units are genuine New Garrett core and comp cover units. They use the Nissan RB .63 internal 6 bolt exhaust housing and they are a new initiative by Horsepowerinabox.com to address a void in bolt on turbo's for RB engines.

GT30 500hp is going to be far more than what you need if your chasing 220rwkw.

You'd put a GT30 500-550hp on an RB25, not an RB20

something in the 450HP max is what your after.

drunkenmaster I paid 2k for my new Garrett 600HP Turbo. Thats just how much they cost. Doesnt mean they are underdeveloped cause you aint paying stupidly high prices for the Jap equivalents

These things are straight out of the box (a new Product). I haven't had any feedback on their results, but I'd expect a solid 250RWKW+ at least. I am excited about these units and was a bit bewildered by the negative comment on them. There has never been a real option with the internal T3 flange in a Garrett, which is our core product. Horsepowerinabox.com took the initiative to develop a unit that filled the void in the product range as a bolt on RB unit. I'd hate to count the times I've replied to queries with "sorry we cannot help you with that".

I believe Garrett are planning to release a range of internal T3 units in March 05, as it has been on a promise for some time.

In my opinion the 500hp unit with a .63 would be a great bolt on for a mild RB25 set-up. I've heard feedback on guys using the 700hp internal garrett unit (AKA XR6) with great success on rb 25 and 30 combo's. I'd have thought the exhaust was too big on those units... but go figure??

With the RB20 the current unit can be offered with a smaller 450hp GT28 core, but it will be the same price because of the machining involved. The only other alternative is using a smaller unit such as a GT28RS and a flange adapter from T28 to T3. We have designed a CNC Tapered adapter which is not a bad piece.

Inabox , what exhaust housing is being modified to take the GT30 turbine ? I know HKS do two T3 flanged integrally gated GT30 turbine housings , in .68 and 87 which can be had on their GT2835 Pro S and GT3037 Pro S turbos .

Garrett will do themselves a favour by producing something similar . I agree about the 1.06 housing on the BA's GT3540R , there needs to be a .82 as well . Can you confirm if the .50 comp cover is a TO4E ?

Thanks A .

Hi guys,

i just wanted to hear some feed back on this turbo and what it would be like on a rb20?

they have now developed an interally gated one that is practically bolt on.

thanks

Mark

dude,

if u want good street drivability with plenty of poke from your RB20, then you'd want to go for something a little smaller.

i'd recommend something like this;

http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant...tegory_Code=GRT

it is the garrett equivalent to the HKS GT2835R which can flow a nice ~420hp.

or this one;

http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant...tegory_Code=GRT

this one comes with the smaller 84 Trim exhaust wheel and an A/R .64 exhaust housing and is equivalent to the HKS GT2835.

give these some thought, as i believe you'll be able to get these shipped over to melbourne for less than $2k AUD.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
