sorry your wrong psi-wagon, Ta45 use a 72mm turbonetics compressor wheel
Gt42's can be ordered with a 68mm(94 overall) and a 76mm (102 overall)with a smaller exhaust housing than a ta.
All ta's use a truck exhaust housing and rear wheel, just use a turbonetics front. They would be good if you could modify them for a t04 exhaust housing, that's
why the rotors usually use a to4/66, the powerband is wider, and the 13B has
more exhaust gas to spool a turbo than a rb30.

it would be ok on a street car , but you would need 2 external gates to control the excess gas man

23-05-05, 09:52 GMT+10#13 On 17psi a 3540 would flog it on the street, the TA would have a better
peak power, but the area under the curve would be concave as, the 3540
would be convex. You would need at leat 20+ pound to get this thing working
in it's sweet spot.My mates Supra went from Gt3540 to Gt42(68). It made 350rwkw on 23psi with the 3540, then 360rwkw on 16psi with the Gt42.
The 42 hardly wheelspins, the 3540 had no traction at all, and with slicks still turned the tyres at 200+.All depends what you want, remembering the Ta is a 9 second turbo.

You could actually get away with a small wastegate with a big turbo like that as they have large exhaust housings and wheels and they are for use with big boost, which means all of the exhaust gas is going through the turbo and there will be little waste gas.

24-05-05, 08:21 GMT+10#17 hey mate. its a huge turbo - but not worth it unless your going to use it to its potential as others have said - ie: 20psi plus
if you want a nice streeter - get a t04e - r
