GT30R purchase... question
Monday, March 27, 2006 8:12 PM
ok so I am ready to purchase the turbo... yay... I want the GT30R, figured GT35R would be a touch laggy for me. But I want to know what you guys think about housings, HERE is where I plan on buying the turbo, EBay seems to have nice deals on them.

I will be getting the T3 flange with 4 bolt exit, and the compressor has the .60 A/R, I think I should go with a .63 A/R for the turbine (exhaust) side, because I remember somewhere it is a good thing to match the A/R's for the compressor and the exhaust to be pretty near the same for maximum efficiency, also, I think the .84 may spool a bit slower for a 4-cylender, being more free flowing (that is how it work right?) and not offer many gains, I dunno will a LD9 with a .040 overbore produce enough exhaust (with around 20psi) to constitute a larger exhaust housing? This is my thinking, what you guys think is best, not looking for more than 400hp here.

Get it from a company that will not give you problems incase you need to have warranty work done.
