Chris Wilson Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Anyone running a GT30/40 ball bearing turbo on a 2JZ-GTE engine? Specifically a .70 one? How do you find it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 GT30 is a little small isnt it? GT40 as in the GT4088R seems to be well liked but had lots of failures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 I think it would be a stunning turbo for road usage, but no doubt "too small" will have been the thinking with these. I have a desire to see one on a 2JZ, personally I think it would be a great everyday car choice, but have never driven such a set up.

bolarbag Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Isnt this the turbo Amuse used in the infamous Mines Skyline race?? It does look like a good track turbo, with nice useable power but it would run out of legs too easily I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Chris, try and dig up some info on the amuse supra...that was using a gt30 turbine and mines vx rom if I remember correctly. Seemed to go well too He he I have been beaten to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Another popular choice is the GT35R. I dont know what model GT35R turbo people use as I cannot see a suitable model on the Garrett website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Nic's is a GT35R...think that's the smallest going (in that range) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolarbag Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 GT3540 .82A/R is the full name I'm sure There is a GT30/40 that the Evo crowd use, and HKS do a GT3040 too, but not sure what the specs are The amuse supra was only around 450bhp iirc, it would be a lot of money for so little gain, and you would always be thinking why didnt I go larger:rolleyes: conversion ££wise you would be looking at 5k minimum, the manifold and wg setup would be the biggest purchase unless you went arnouts route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Is it T4 or T3 as I can only see T3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 T4, the T3 is an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 GT3540 .82A/R is the full name I'm sure Looks like its real name is GT3582R but aka GT3540 or GT35R for some reason The GT3582R is listed on the Garrett website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolarbag Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) Yes sorry its the GT3582R but there is some truth in the GT3540 naming cant recall, its something to do with the 'family' of turbines to compressors# edit(again): GT35/40 is the former name GT3582R is the correct name, with 'GT35' being the frame size depicted by the turbine wheel inducer diameter and the '82R' being the Compressor Inducer Diameter in mm and Ball Bearing http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/tech_center/gt_basics.html So a GT30/40 I gather is a former name, this would be extended by specifying the Compressor Inducer Diameter i.e GT3071R It just happens to be that the turbine Housing Nic has went for(as I have I) is the .82A/R It would be nice to know what the full amuse turbo specs were, although tbh it didnt look that fast in the vid(although the mines skyline is in a totally different level of tune) Edited July 28, 2008 by bolarbag (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Send a mail to Amuse im sure they would answer it with the turbo spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysdan Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Anyone running a GT30/40 ball bearing turbo on a 2JZ-GTE engine? Specifically a .70 one? How do you find it? Thanks. hi mate i have a hks gt30/37 the same as the amuse. it is on fool boost by 2500rpm and it made 497bhp with 600nm @1.2 bar so it is great i think.for street or track i love it no lag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvteye Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I'm running a Garrett GT4088R, .95 AR and it starts boosting at about 3200rpm but doesn't get above .5 bar until 3800rpm then it immediately rips up to 1.35bar and I can't tell you any other readings as it's time to change gear and climb out of the back into the front seat again. it's dyno'ed at 556bhp but I normally drive it on the second map which holds it at 1 bar boost when it is outputting 400bph. It's a slight PITA when coming out of roundabouts at a 'sensible' speed in 2nd waiting for the road to straighten before giving it at least half throttle as the spin up is so fast I wouldn't trust it kicking in at any sort of angle even with the RLTC. Great fun though but retrospectively I reckon a GT35 would have been a better daily driver for low down torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had both .81 and .95 gt4088's they are night and day, get a .81 hotside on that and you will love it if it lasts;) the .95 was very laggy imo:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvteye Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Thanks for the advice... I always thought it would have an impact. What cost you looking at being a numptey (ie is it the housing that changes or does that require a different manifold or whatever) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What cost you looking at being a numptey (ie is it the housing that changes or does that require a different manifold or whatever) Its just the hotside, they dont cost much and are pretty easy to change, Kyle will get you one.

vvteye Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I take it then I'll need a remap as well... (Sorry for the hijack CW) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Jamie, your old 4088 and vvteye's 4088R may need different hotsides to achieve the same goal For starters are they both divided or undivided? What about the manifolds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
