GT30-10 with P20 housing and T04E compressor cover. 52 lb compressor wheel, bolt on 450 BHP performance on Optimax. £700 - half the price I paid.

Pictures show comparison with TD04.

Would this fit on a 95 RA ?

Yes it would go on a 95RA, you'll need to work on the inlet pipe as you would with any front entry turbo - obviously it would swallow that TD04 whole Turbo is supplied with some Samco into which you can put a typical aftermarket inlet pipe inside

Kendo

Definately interested will let you have an answer tomorrow (saturday) if thats ok ?

No problem. Look into what you are letting yourself in for.... it is a fairly big ***** of a turbo, about the biggest you can "bolt on" - you'll need the whole car to be up to scratch, especially, engine, fuel system, gearbox, clutch, suspension, brakes, even with all of these, used to capacity the car WILL be an animal... You'll need oil and water pipes, can get from RCMS or Pavlo, these turbos don't come with them. I needed to grind a lot of bellhousing away as well, par for the course to get the big compressor in. Don't let all this put you off, but it needs to be a well prepared car that this goes on

Back to the top. Who is brave enough ?

Brun

Not me
That looks like it could power a small town

Well did a bit of research & been advised that this turbo is not the best for what i want from the car gutted it would have looked so good fitted ah well
theres always next year with a bigger budget for the rest of the jobs too ...

john banks

Well if you want to go slow with less than 400 BHP then it isn't what you need

Hi John. Was looking out for a TD05/06 for my 2.5L Type R but this sounds tempting. Have a hybrid vf23 at the mo wich results in power tailing off at 5600. Engine std apart from 2.5L, apexi ecu courtesy of Andy, H&S up/down & apexi box, clutch to be uprated soon.. Would the GT30 be too much for her to deal with?

Regards,
Doug.

It should be about 100-110 BHP ahead of the hybrid VF23 on the same fuel, about 50-60 BHP ahead of the 20G. I think your setup would handle it, although the gearbox will be the weak spot, however, you can really gain power by just say running 1.3 bar all the way to the top on the 2.5 without running so much torque that you are likely to trash the box.

BTTT, going on Ebay if no one wants it here?

capita

John have you still got a GT30 for sale?
