Looking for new turbo, garrett reccommended 3040R with .63 housing.

They said would not be laggy and being 600hp would make more then enough power.

any thoughts and experience with this turbo? especially on rb20?

it is ext gated! Due to it not being a straight bolt on is it going to cost heaps to have put on with new wastegate etc etc.

Is that kind of set up "Cop bait"?

thanks

I run one on my ca18 with all the necessary hardware and i really think its more like 510-520hp. we made 415whp @27psi on bp ultimate ezy tune dont think there would be much more in it and its a little laggy although would be good on a 6cyl 2.0ltr.

I personally think the .64 housing wont be that bad on an RB20. If you get a good port job done and an aggressive camshaft set up I think this will come on boost nice and early.

Ok in regards to your question about if the turbo is internally or externally gated. I think they come in both but dont quote me on it.

Cop bait! OH YEA!!! Especially if you are living in Melbourne.

Hope this info helps

dude,

what are u after out of your car?

the gt3040r (with A/R .63) is quite a big turbo and wouldn't be all that responsive for a street driven RB20DET.

it all comes down to how much power you are looking for out of your car and how/when you want to make that power.

i personally had one of these on my car (sierra cosworth), and although it made pretty good power (~280rwkw @ 24psi), it didn't provide the response i actually wanted. this was due to the big compressor wheel it has.

so as above, work out exactly what u want out of the car and then we'll try to help you.

Dude, drop me a PM, i'll try to help you out.

good luck.

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their reliability is proven, performance can be predictable, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
