Garret GT 30

Would the GT 30 fit into a 97 gst my honduh friend says it wont clear does anyone know anyone running it

It will fit...A GT30 isn't that big.
My friend just installed one a few weeks ago on his 97 GST no problems, internally gated, on the stock 2G exhaust manifold...Didn't even have to remove one of the cooling fans.

Are you talking a standard gt30 or one designed to be a dsm bolt on (ie custom turbine housing). Either way you shouldn't have a problem bolting one one.

A mitsu-style flanged or T3 flanged GT30 will fit just fine. I am thinking about going to a full garret GT30 setup here in a few months. Tell captain honda not to talk about stuff he doesnt know anything about.

Do me a favor and speak in complete sentences next time. Youll get yelled at sooner or later, so I figured I would just let you know.

The dsm bolt on ? with the internal wastegate i wasn't sure if i was going to need to move the radiator or something drastic

Captain Honda nice i like that yeah the gt 30 sounds very promising i was thinking of going with the evo 3 but ...i figure do it right the first time no need to do it a second time what size injectors are you going with 650's maybe?

With the dsm bolt on (ie mitsu turbine housing) you should have more then enough room. Even with larger turbo's there usually aren't any clearance issues with the turbo itself, well other then having to slightly dent the water line to clear a large comp cover. But sometimes depending on the design of the internal wg actuator it might not fit with the stock fans & you would have to switch to a slimline but most of the time this isn't an issue. For injectors that really depends on how much boost your planning on running? Just for a reference 650 or 680's (depending on manufacturer) are the usual recommended injector for the evoIII to get the most out of it. So you should probably be looking at 750+. When you get that large of an injector you also have to consider your tunning method as 650/680's are about the limit for a piggyback system. With larger injectors you need dsmlink, eprom chip etc. to compensate.
