ive got a hpinabox gt30 with 70comp cover and .63 a/r internally wastegated and it is actually put together by gcg turbos. as for power i got 260rwkws at 20 psi. now my engines is almost fully rebuilt with tomei pon cams i will let you know how it goes. please dont critisize a product that you havent even road tested.

Hi. This is directed at BigCarl, I tried to PM you but it said that your PM service was not setup & that you did not have permissions to PM???

Sorry, I know this is off topic a bit but I cant contact BigCarl any other way...

I noticed that you have a hybrid GT30 with the nissan RB exhaust housing. I wanted to ask you if you used the hpInABox oil/water kit?

I have just ordered the same turbo with the oil/water kit and was wondering if there was anything else that I would need to fit the lines? The guy at HpInABox said that the oil line should be fine but the water line on the engine side might not fit & that I would have to get a nother fitting for that side of the line.

Also did you use the waist gate actuator that they supply? If so how hard was it to modify to fit?

Any tips on fitting this turbo (from anyone) would be a great help.

Thanks in advance

yes purchased oil and water lines from hpiabox ,my mechanic used some fittings from standard turbo to fit waterlines. if i had my car id take some photos but still having new motor fitted and run in e.t.c. but could take some photos next week.

Thanks bigCarl:

I think I have it under control. If I can use fittings from the existing lines for the new lines then that would be great. What Did you do for the elbow out of the comp housing to the intercooler?

i used a ninety degree piece of 2.5 inch mandrel bent mild steel, utilising stock cooler pipeing and silicon hose. i think thay you can buy the ninety degree silicon hose but looks dodgy to me??? gcg sell it.

Thanks for all the info mate, putting her in this weekend :). I noticed that you said you were running 20psi, does that make the rubber piping from the AFM to your turbo suck inwards?? Or have you replaced it with a steel version?

How did you connect the 2.5 inch mandrel bend to the turbo, I dont think its 2.5 inchs?

Sorry about all the questions guys, I will stay on topic after this I promise ;)

Seems that for all the time and trouble a TT conversion is so much easier......unless a turbo lunches itself and eats the front 3 cylinders. Also works out to about the same cost for a diy job.

I've measured the Comp wheel and taken pictures.

From my measurements (not really sure what to measure) the smaller top part of the comp wheel measured up at 46mm.

The larger bottom part of the comp wheel measured up at 63mm.

That would make the wheel a 53.3trim?

Trim = ((inducer)squared / (exducer)squared) X 100

Does garret list specs for this wheel?

The closest I can find to a 53trim is a TO4 54trim?

I will have a bit more of a look when I get some more time.

Nobody has them, and is they do, they want $600 for them

They were ~$250 until :) SOMEONE :angry: blabbed about how useful they were and then the price went up. :angry:

At least this time it wasn't me, unlike the R32GTST wastegate actuators, they used to be ~free until I opened my big mouth. :D

:angry: cheers :angry:

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By Duncan · Posted

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
