garrett gt30r turbo

[eclipseturbogst]

I just bought a garrett gt30r turbo and I was wondering how much hp I can expect with that turbo?

...............well, it depends on your supporting mods. With the right setup, over 700 hp. Do you know what you got yourself into? I hope those 550's are just your primary injectors

what do you mean " I hope you know what you got yourself into", and also I'm getting bigger injectors.

... With the right setup, over 700 hp.

How is he going to get 700hp out of a compressor wheel that flows a max of 52lbs/min?

sorry in a rush to class, thought it said 40. In that case, if it's a 30r, what kind of 30r? there are many diff kinds. 400hp all the way up to +600. what combination did you get

I'm not sure I bought it from forced performance, but they have it listed as an FP3052.

Here is the flow map for a Gt30R turbo. You can mix and match different turbine housings to give you a different spool and top end flow, but this is the max it is rated for.

That's a GT30R with the custom turbine housing they make for it. It has a A/R of .70, which is very good for top end flow. You will make max HP out of this turbo with the right supporting mods in place.

how do you read flow maps?

This thread has just become the highlight of my day.

I don't believe he does.

what do you mean " I hope you know what you got yourself into", and also I'm getting bigger injectors.

Sure is a good thing you're getting bigger injectors. I'd hate to see those 550s keep up with a 3052.

how do you read flow maps?

You purchased a turbo with capabilities as high as the 3052 yet can not read a compressor flow map? I am not comfortable reading and understanding compressor flow maps which is one of the reasons why I will not be even thinking about purchasing a larger turbo until I am comfortable reading and understanding them.

As for your comment this is the reason why im leaving all this to my builder, at alamo autopsports, no i dont know how to read flow maps and am not ashamed of this whatsoever, i have all fuel upgrades ready including rails, regulator, pump and injectors. I was just seeing as to what people might give me in response to this thread.

How in the H-E double hockey sicks do someone buy something(turbo at that) and doesnt know nothing about it

To make the most of that turbo your going to need a minimum of 750cc injectors, which means you should invest in a quality tuning device like dsmlink so you can run them and adjust your timing too. Your pacesetter header will most likely not last long, and did you get fp's 2.5 o2 with the turbo? You'll need it. You also need a 4" intake pipe with the biggest airfilter you can fit in your engine bay. With these mods properly tuned the fp3052 has put down 500whp on 93 octane. With it's quick spooling capability you will have traction problems in 1st thru 3rd gear in your fwd. Good luck with it, thats the exact turbo that I want the most in the world.

On certain types of dynos yes this is possible. ie dynojet or dynapack.
It is more impressive to think that this turbo with the right mods will net you 120-130 mph trap speeds with mods and tuning.

Thanks for the non thought of comment, ive already explained the fact that my builder has recommended it for me, but i take it you just wanted to bash from the first post i made.
