Me too, sounds like the only options for us are the hi-flow VG30 hybrid or the hpInabox GT30, have I missed anything???

The only other option that I can think of is the HKS GT2835 pro s but thats $4000 or so :{

All I want is a nice efficient .8# turbine a/r internal gate turbo that makes close to 280rwkw without spending a fortune on a hks item. :cheers:

just got an email back from michael at gcg in regards to fitting a larger exhaust housing for internal wastegate, im looking at $990 plus $100.00 to adapt to gt30. ive got pics of turbo front and rear, i do not know how to post them but if someone wants to give me there email address i can send photos and if someone knows how to post them up that would be great.

You just need to make the files less than 105 kB, use photoshop or something to reduce their actual size.

Then use advanced reply button, and "Manage Attachments"

Browse to the pictures, press upload once all the pics are found, wait for the upload to finish, then press submit.

Or,

Cheers

PETE

Sounds good, just a couple of questions:

How big is larger?

Why dont garrett do this, if anybody knows?

BigCarl: You said that you made 260 from you hpInaBox GT30, what are your other mods to reach this, ie fuel system (injectors??). How does this turb compare to your old hi-flow?

gt30 is producing 30rwkws more than gcg turbo at same boost with same mods, id like to see how the gt30 would go with the vg30 exhaust housing , i think with cams aswell which iam getting fitted as we speak. my mods include 600x300x80mm front mount intercooler utilising stock pipeing. gt30 turbo with a/r 70 comp cover , a/r .63 rb25 exhaust housing. low mount stainless exhaust manifold, ces racing 3inch split dump pipe into 3 inch exhaust , 3 inch cat, 3 inch inlet to barrel style muffler with 4.5 inch tip. 550cc/min injectors , bosche 600hp fuel pump. exedy hyper single plate clutch. i think ive included eveything. now my turbo pulled 230rwkws at 13psi and 260rwkws at 20psi on shootout mode, which means ive got a huge restriction somewhere holding back power because as someone mentioned on these forums that i should be pulling 7rwkws for every pound od boost over 13 psi, which would result in 7psi x 7rwkws = 42rwkws plus 230rwkws ; which would equate to 272rwkws. which is where im at now . im getting step one tomei poncams with 256 degrees duration 8.5mm lift as we speak which sk seems to think could net up to 15rwkws more peak power and up to 25rwkws more across the power curve. im also dropping the cr from 9 to 1 to 8.5 to 1, so i can run more boost safely . and further down the track i will probably change exhaust housings too. i will post up my shootout graph in the weeks to come let you know how i go.

As the Horsepowerinabox turbo uses the .7 comp cover this combined with the VG30DET exhaust a/r would most probably make more power than the GCG item that runs the stock .4 (I think it is) RB25 comp cover.

Inabox, Would you be willing to offer such an item IF the vg30det exhaust housing was supplied?

The VG30 exhaust is an advantage over the RB25. We can certainly do a GT30 for you with a supplied VG30 Exhaust. They are hard to find, so if you have a supply bring it on.

The long term solution is a Garrett range of T3 units for the RB. They have been on a promise for 18 months..

Bass Junky , thats the "In a Box GT30R" is it ?

Thats not what Garrett used to call their "GT30R" , now called the GT3076R .

The cartridge in the picture shown has a 1976 era T04S compressor wheel and .70ARR T04S compressor cover . The most up to date "GT30R" uses the BCI-18 series compressor with six full and six splitter blades . It's lighter and stronger than the T04S wheel and capable of higher revs , it also requires less turbine generated torque to excite it meaning less slip losses and higher turbine efficiency .

The current version's turbo part no is 700382-12 or cartridge (CHRA) no 700177-7 . It's usually sold with a port shrouded .60ARR T04E compressor cover as well . The seller is not going to like this but your turbo is a less costly item to source so easy to sell cheaply .

Just the same as you would not swap your 90's era RB for an L series I would not swap an early 90's compressor for a mid 70's one . HKS knew the difference and that's why their 56 trim GT3037 series all use the 700177-7 cartridge .

Hey dude, those aren't my pics, they are Bigcarls. I just posted them for him.

I'm not sure of the turbo or specs.

Unless you are talking about the picture of the whole turbo including compressor cover, bearing cartridge, exhaust housing and dump pipe.

If you are, I'm only buying it for the exhaust housing, hence it will be machined for the high flow anyway.

I don't know heaps about turbos, so if you have some more suggestions about exhuast housings for a highflow, let us know, as it seems some really really good gains are possible just from freeing up the exhuast flow.

All help appreciated.

What the????? I should stop reading these forums.... You are suggesting that we have circa 1970 comp wheel to use in turbos to stitch up the unsuspecting public??? I don't think so. The product is a new unit sourced from Garrett Australia within the last 6 months as a GT30. We use a SB8005A turbo and machine a Nissan exhaust to suit.. there is no deception, obselete parts or cheaper materials used to make a quick buck.

The turbo IS as sold with no sinister plot to pass off cheaper parts. The unit cost is the same for the range of GT30 through to GT3540/GT35R/whatever part number garrett are using today, so there is no logical reason to substitute wheels/cores and I assure you we haven't. It is offered/sold to fill a need in the marketplace. To provide a solution for a bolt on RB internal.

if i go to garretts website it has this turbo

Turbochargers > GT30 Family > GT3076R - 700382 - 12

and its only like half a turbo . does that mean I could get that bit and chuck the back bit from the HPIAB rb25 bolt on turbo and get a bolt on 90s gt30 ?

sorry this is a bit beyond me ......... but what do i do with half a turbo ? this has come up before the good gt30 vs the bad gt30 and i wasnt able to get anywhere then either .

What the?????  I should stop reading these forums....

Please don't: thrashing these details and ideas out is great for those of us who are trying to learn about turbos. It also provides a nice point of reference if someone brings up the same issues at a later date.

    • And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !
    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
