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.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
