Gt3037

[illspace]

If I recall correctly, someone on this board has a gt3037 on their KA-T, I was curious what kind of power this produces, and other info I can gain. I was contemplating this turbo, or the gt3040, but I need to know specs, to see if they are really worth the money.

thanks,illspace

The GT3037 is a sweet turbo. They are expensive but worth the money in my eyes. The 3040 is a tad larger, which will induce slightly more lag but yeild more top end power. Of course, I believe each turbo is available in different trims.

The real question is, unless you're shooting for more than 400hp, what are the advantages of the GT versus a regular T3/T04E?

[andrave]

much quicker spool up and greater efficiency due to the more modern design. Longer life due to the ball bearing center housing. holds boost at higher rpm's too.

Im possibly looking for something that will hold the power for many many RPMs =)

Yes i know it's more efficient, and will hold more boost (it's a bigger turbo lol), but how much HP do you wanna make? For anything under 400 there is no justification on spending the extra $1000 dollars over a T3/T04E 50 trim (which will probably spool within 250-500rpm of the GT). Both turbo's will give more than sufficient top end. Not saying it's not a good turbo, just giving you some food for thought.

Do you think with a gt3040 450whp on pump gas is attainable? I am seriously considering either of these turbos, if I decide to go the expenive "built" motor route.

[andrave]

no matter what boost you want, a propely matched GT series is gonna spool up quicker and give you a drastically increased efficiency over a t3/t4.
