DARKSIDE Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I'm getting it for a fairly decent price... Would this turbo be a good choice for me? What needs to be done to make it fit, and any other nessecary mods?All info is appreciated...Also, any VS'ers with the GT30 installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHEIII874T5M Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Curious as to what the "fairly decent price" is .This will turn your stock rods into spaghetti at anything over 17 PSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKSIDE Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Curious as to what the "fairly decent price" is .This will turn your stock rods into spaghetti at anything over 17 PSI.Price: $850Also, I'll install a MBC, or EBC to controll the boost and I would not turn it up past 17#'s if there's a risk of anything bending...which is better though...Manual or Electronic BC*Remember my car is a a GLT (LPT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHEIII874T5M Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 If new, that's a good price, if not... keep negotiating.With a turbo that size, EBC would be your solution. Are you running internal or external gate? What injectors? Who's tuning it? bla bla blayou'll have to machine the stock manifold's lip flat and fabricate oil/coolant feed/return.

Swedish Mike Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 If you plan to keep the internals stock I would pick another turbo, a new Mitsu is a better choise./Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it's basically new, b/c he bought it new...Well I currently have rge stock 13G setup so I believe the WG is internal...if not correct me...Stock injectors...My friend (the same guy) actually owns a shop and is definitely able to do any of the work including custom work, and has connection with others who own machine shops...I hope by *tuning* this is what you meant, and not ECU wise...Why would I have to flatten the Exhaust manifold's Lip?

If you plan on using the stock manifold, you will have to either go with a 5 bolt flange and weld the top port to an external gate or just go internally gated on the gt30.2. You will need much, much bigger injectors. Look into either blues or greens.3. Be prepared to be without your car for a few days.4. Tuning, I literally meant tuning as in ECU tuning. The rest I would refer to as fabricating.If "planning" to do the internals (everyone on here is planning to do a bunch of stuff) then I would say get a 19T for the meantime. When you do build the internals, everything's coming off when the motor is pulled anyways. No point in doing it now on the stock rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackT5 Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Like Joseph said, if you plan on using the stock manifold, the turbo will need to have a 5 bolt turbine housing (for external wastegate) or have an internal wastegate.What size turbine is it? .63, .82? -modify the oil lines. If it was the ball bearing GT30R then you would also need to modify water lines.-modify the downpipe connection/possible dump tube integration-tuning-machine manifold flange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What # CC's? Will the RC injectors from VMS work?3. Being w/o my car, will not b a pro, as long as I'm boostin' by the weekend... 4. Stock ECU right now...Although I'm planning on flashing it, but it shouldn't be neccesary unless I want to the ECU to be able to handle the higher boost...*correct me if I'm wrong* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCviggen Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 GT30 on a low pressure block...? Personally I'd reconsider. I like the stock ECU part too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say internal WG for ease, 5 bolt flange if he knows how to weld and knows what you're talking about.2. CC are dependant on many variable, power level, fuel pressure, etc. Can't just say x CC.3. Don't keep your hopes up.4. Um... good luck keeping the GT30 at 7 PSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd reconsider. I like the stock ECU part too.I'm not saying that I would put in on now with the setup that I currently have, I'd probably wait and get a few more stuff done b4 installing the GT30...Also, wouldn't the ARP bolts help keep that head/block together...1.
