Garrett G-Series II G30-725 54mm Turbocharger

Garrett G-Series II G30-725 54mm Turbocharger — Select Turbine Housing

Part Number: 934117-5001S

The Garrett G-Series II G30-725 is a standard-rotation, dual-ceramic-ball-bearing turbocharger platform designed for high-output street, competition, and specialty-performance applications requiring substantial airflow from a compact G30 frame. Garrett rates the G30-725 for 350–725 horsepower and references engine displacements from 2.0 to 3.5 liters. Garrett horsepower ratings represent potential flywheel horsepower based on compressor-map choke flow and are not a guaranteed wheel-horsepower figure.

The G30-725 uses a 54mm inducer and 67mm exducer compressor wheel with a 65-trim profile and 0.70 compressor-housing A/R. Its turbine stage uses a 60mm inducer and 55mm exducer Mar-M alloy wheel with an 84-trim profile. This larger turbine stage distinguishes the G30-725 from the smaller G25-700 while retaining the same nominal 54mm compressor inducer, providing additional exhaust-flow capacity for larger-displacement or higher-mass-flow applications. Garrett identifies a maximum allowable turbocharger speed of 160,000 rpm.

As part of Garrett’s G-Series II range, the G30-725 incorporates revised compressor aerodynamics that provide up to 10 percent greater compressor flow than the corresponding first-generation G-Series unit at peak pressure ratio and peak turbocharger speed. Garrett also identifies increased efficiency at high flow rates. The G-Series II supercore retains compatibility with Garrett’s first-generation G30 compressor and turbine housings, allowing an existing standard-rotation G30 installation to be upgraded without redesigning the complete turbo system when the existing housing part numbers are confirmed compatible.

This listing is structured as a selectable-housing product. The Garrett 934117-5001S supercore may be combined with seven verified externally wastegated turbine housings, or ordered as one of two Garrett factory-assembled and calibrated internally wastegated turbochargers. A supercore-only option is also available. The standard-rotation housing family includes open-scroll V-band and T3 inlet configurations, plus a divided T4 housing for applications designed around a true twin-scroll exhaust manifold.

RAD recommends the Garrett 934118-5001S complete turbocharger with the 0.83 A/R V-band inlet, V-band outlet, and internal wastegate as the general catalog default. It combines Garrett factory assembly and actuator calibration with a turbine A/R that offers a useful response-versus-flow balance for a broad range of 2.0–3.5-liter street and track applications. Applications operating near the upper end of the G30-725 airflow range, or installations requiring greater wastegate authority, may be better served by the 1.01 A/R internal-wastegate assembly or one of the externally wastegated configurations.

Application Notes

• This is a universal performance turbocharger and is not a vehicle-specific bolt-on assembly.
• Garrett’s 350–725 horsepower range is a compressor-based flywheel-horsepower reference. Actual output depends on engine airflow, fuel, charge-air temperature, exhaust-manifold design, turbine housing, boost pressure, backpressure, and tune.
• The 0.61 A/R V-band housing prioritizes early response and may create greater turbine-side restriction as airflow and power approach the upper end of the G30-725 range.
• The 0.83 A/R configurations provide the broadest general balance between boost response and turbine-flow capacity for responsive street and track applications.
• The 1.01 A/R configurations provide additional exhaust-flow capacity and may reduce turbine inlet pressure at high engine speed, with some reduction in low-speed boost response.
• The 1.21 A/R V-band housing provides the greatest exhaust-flow capacity among the open-scroll options and is best reserved for applications that can accept slower boost response.
• The externally wastegated housings provide greater flexibility in wastegate size, placement, spring selection, and bypass-flow capacity. The external wastegate and all related plumbing are sold separately.
• The internally wastegated variants are complete Garrett assemblies with a calibrated 0.5-bar actuator. Final boost pressure depends on actuator preload, boost-control strategy, exhaust backpressure, manifold pressure, and wastegate-flow capacity.
• Garrett identifies the internal-wastegate housings as having a large bypass port intended to improve boost control, but boost creep remains application dependent.
• The divided 1.06 A/R T4 housing should be used with a properly divided manifold and an external-wastegate arrangement that preserves the intended pulse separation. Installing a divided housing on an undivided manifold does not provide the same twin-scroll behavior.
• The G30-725 supercore is compatible only with the verified standard-rotation G30 housings listed in this description. Reverse-rotation housings are not interchangeable.
• G-Series II uses the corresponding first-generation G30 compressor and turbine housing interfaces, but every existing installation should be confirmed by part number before components are reused.
• Turbine-inlet flange or clamp, turbine-outlet weld flange and clamp, external wastegate where applicable, oil-feed line, oil-drain line, coolant hoses, intake plumbing, charge piping, exhaust manifold, downpipe, boost-control hardware, and application-specific fasteners are not included unless separately stated.
• Garrett turbo-speed sensor kits, compressor-speed display hardware, and electronic boost-control components are sold separately.
• Final turbocharger and turbine-housing selection should be based on an engine-airflow model and the intended operating range rather than displacement or peak-power target alone.
