Turbo's For All

[The Dan]

yeah, and it won't be like last time. I have direct contact with this guy and he won't give me bogus quotes like with the fuel pumps......sorry again.

[The Dan]

For the GT17/15

From scratch around $12-1300

If you supply the turbo he can change the compressor wheel and machine the housing for around $400. He can't balance the shaft as it is roller bearing.

Haha its ok, hopefully get in touch with you soon to line up a GT30R

[The Dan]

GT30R is $1900. I'll re-confirm the GT35R price on Monday when I pick up mine.

[Constantly_Incognito]

SOunds like a good deal, give me a couple of weeks and I will let you know what I need.

[The Dan]

Gee, I would have thought there would be more popularity than this.

I might post up in another forum and see how it goes....anyone know what shipping costs involved in a turbo?

[zymotic]

I might be interested later this year, if this offer still exists then. Haven't done any research into turbos though yet. I'd be looking at something good for a R34 GTT Auto. Something thats a good streetable turbo IE don't have to wait till 5000rpm till it makes good boost. Maybe even hiflo stock GTT turbo, not sure how this responds compared to stock 32/33 turbos but they are larger apparently.

[The Dan]

You don't need to do any research.

These are the questions I need answered:

How much horsepower/kilowatts do you want? eg. 300rwhp/210rwkw or engine hp/kw

What are you using the car for? eg. Street/Drag or just Street or just Drag

When do you want boost roughly? eg. 2200/2500 or 2500/3000 or later

Do you want power early or late in the rev range?

What Mods you engine has or is going to have including computers or exhaust etc.?

Obviously, what car?

Intercooled? and is it large, small, medium?

Still running AFM or upgraded or no longer there?

Custom exhaust manifold or standard? (custom exhaust manifolds give you more options)

External wastegate or internal(limited to virtually 450hp)?

With this information I can give you a range of turbo's or just one that will suit your requirements. The more picky you are, the less range. eg:

if you want big horsepower: 5 or 6 decent turbos will suit

if you want big horsepower but want it smooth delivery at 3000rpm then it narrows it down to probably only one. There is a turbo to suit every request and any turbo can be modified to suit your needs.

So you give me info, I'll tell you what turbo/turbos will suit and you can do some homework on what I have given you and decide what you want.

How does that sound?

Answers:

RWKW? Enough to have a bit of fun on occasional track days.

90% street use

Boost @ 2500 rpm on but not dying above 6k

Early or late in range.. best average power from 2500 up

Stock standard R34GTT auto.

Thats why I said later on cos I'll need time to put on Full zorst, FMIC, EBC,

Fuel pump etc.

Internally gated sounds fine for what I want.

I expect <=250rwkw to be plenty for me.

Main issues for me are reliability and streetability/response.

[The Dan]

Ok. I see what I can come up with and let you know.

[The Dan]

For the price check in isle 3 for the GT35R...$1900 was correct

You will probably be looking for something like what I am getting.

rated at 450hp, ball bearing. Easily capable of handling 300rwkw. Plus boost will come on full at around 2200-2600 depending on what level you wanna run. But should be able to get around 16psi at 2300rpm. And it will hold it through 9000rpm. Would cost you around $1700

[zymotic]

What brand and model turbo?

[gatty]

how much for one around the 450 HP mark - bolt onto a 33????

my mates stock one just went the other day and needs one fast

[gatty]

i will answer questions for him as best i can:

As much HP for a tiny budget - doesn't have to be real crazy

Street use mainly

Boost aroun 2500-3k

Power Early in revs

blitz FMIC/3" exhaust, POD, boost controller

R33 series 1

Big BLITZ FMIC

Stock ECU/AFM setup

Custom dumps - 3" cat back

Main thing right now is he wants one that is almost exactly the same as stock 33 one - so just bolt on, attach current lines and away he drives..

No real budget right now - get me some prices on cheaper ones and expensive ones too - around the 1k mark

Not after massive power figures - just bigger than stock

[The Dan]

Something to handle 450hp would be the same as above mentioned. $1700.

It doesn't really have a model number as such. It does but it is a custom made job by Garrett themselves. They make them to order.

If he just wants to hi-flow his one it will probably still set him back around $1300 depending on how bad he has damaged it.

All of these turbo's will bolt straight up to 33 manifold.

As I said before. The above mentioned turbo is a Garrett GT450hp ball bearing turbo. I can probably get something slightly smaller for around $1600 but they don't get much cheaper than that. Especially for BRAND NEW.

[The Dan]

What brand and model turbo?

Brand is Garrett. I will have to get the model number for you tomorrow.

[NA_R33]

do u have any contacts for blowers??

G'day Daniel,

I'm looking for a twin setup for my R33 GTR, along the lines or equivalent to 2530's.

What turbo's would you advise and how much?

The car is fairly stock, cat back, pods, and about to insatall a Power FC.

Then you will need the Garrett GT2530 twins rated at 500hp. As I said in the pm, they are available at 600hp and 700hp ratings also but this would not work effectively on yours.
