Calais Turbo

Whats every ones thoughts on GT42 on rb30? Really thinking of making a ecu change and high mount / turbo change this year. Would obviously need bigger injectors and convertor change.

dougall83 · 24-05-16, 19:15

All my mates that have done it rekon street drive is crap but race/drag wise is killer even powercruise u need a 100shot to get on boost b4 straight

Mid frame 67mm-to 70mm turbos are nicest for a pure streeter. And in this day and age im sure you can make enough power to run low 9's with something in that range easily

I actually would think you can run high 8s' with someone as smart as Justin in your corner with a turbo that size, if that was your overall goal , and still be a fun streeter

Daz is on the money, they're a lot more forgiving too. Ie - you can get away with a slightly larger plenum, or a lower stall, or no headwork, or a glide and it's still streetable. But if you go a large turbo, large plenum, large stall.. it's a hard combo to get right, and then it's likely to be pretty laggy too.

torana565 · 31-05-16, 07:21

What Turbo do you think the best bang for buck is? And what Size. Borg Warner, Garret, Pro Boost??? Goal is around 550 - 600 RWHP on around 28 - 32 Pound

350stato · 31-05-16, 18:07

My corolla runs a $500 China GT42, been pushing over 20psi for about 18 months and about 28psi for past 12 months, still good so far lol....

I have a Proboost 42R for the VL, It did do a few passes on a mates 8 sec Gemini and (obviously) is still good

Jet R31 · 01-06-16, 19:47

Pity grant at proboost only does the gtx3582 and t04z, be great if he could build the Z he does but with a GT37 turbine and not a old P trim, be a great budget turbo.
Id buy one in a second if it was around his current turbo prices
cheers
darren

dougall83 · 01-06-16, 20:13

even tho I have just upgraded to a garrett I'm +1 proboost good bang for buck maybe ask grant see what he makes these days he also does borgwarner ect copies these days

torana565 · 21-06-16, 06:29

Hey guys, looking at proboost gtx35, can any one tell me the difference between the gtx3582 and billet t04z. Thanks alot, been offered a gtx35 garret, so just making up my mind.

torana565 · 27-06-16, 09:08

Think i have made my minde up, 6 boost t4 manifold and a Garret GTW3884 turbo, will replace turbo Conrods with a set of H Beam Spool.

Antho · 27-06-16, 14:48

Never heard of a GTW38

Is that bigger than a GT35, and what does the W mean?

torana565 · 30-06-16, 18:21

Ill get some information, but its a later model garret. Specs off the top of my head, 67/65mm water/oil cooled. 1.00 rear. This ones journal bearing but they come in ball bearing. Rated to 950 HP

Jet R31 · 01-07-16, 20:38

Be cheaper to buy a proboost t04z
Same old p trim 1970 **** turbine as gtw..

wrong. gtw is the latest design of garretts billet compressor wheels. ****ing machine turbos, **** all over any cheap ass proboost

Jet R31 · 01-07-16, 22:55

Caught up in garrets marketing hey? The larger gtw are just a old t04z style
Center sections by the looks. T04z p trim turbine..which dates back to the 70's

Just a fancy t04z..950hp is absolute fairy tales for this turbo.
as for latest tech..pure marketing there. Theyd use a new turbine
And design a different style comp wheel if it was" latest tech"

Proboost is a old p trim..with a gtx copy 67mm front wheel
Those comp wheels are proven for 850hp ish.And are a new design with extended tips..
Be closer then you think
id use neither.
Cheers

Antho · 02-07-16, 14:10

What would you use then?

Jet R31 · 02-07-16, 19:18

Something with a turbine not trapped in the 70's

GTx4088/ Pt6466-6870 /Borg warner sxe 69
be a few hybrids around the joint id try aswell

Honestly Garrett can go **** themselves over selling **** covered with chocalate witht the large gtw 38 range ..what a mob of ****s..

Noticed how you dont see any reviews on them..been out a while..americans see the p trim rear and run..lots of lag there, big heavy outdated turbine,
the p trim was the bread and butter turbine for them on a 6cyl ...20 yrs ago..lol
cheers
