I think you should talk to your engine builder, I could tell you what size 42r is being used on a 2jz but it may not work as well on your rb30

Would a GT42R even be making noticeable boost at 3000rpm?

my gt42r makes about 5psi by 3000, but the ball starts rolling from 4k onwards

GT42, with full boost by 3000rpm? Keep dreaming champ, not on a dirty thirty.

yeh, not possible, unless you have perhaps a spitfire motor ?
heh, 42r's efficiency range is like 22-28psi, they are turbo designed for big hp and big boost. There is no point prancing around with one unless you going to use it, cos ppl will just own u on the street only because u cant spool before they do !
I preferred my holset hx40 over my gt42r for the street, alot more usable power, but on the strip its a whole different ballgame !

i have a gt45r on a fully built rb26 and im on full boost at 4200 rpm and it pulles through to 7800rpm, thats on 15psi, u will need to sepnd atleast 60-70 thousand dollars to get it to spool anywere nere 3000rpm on a dirty thirty, if u want huge top end, get a 26 head/30 bottom and spend lots of dollars and u might come close

3000rpm, yes possible on a rb30 with around about a 200hp hit of gas and transbrake ...
***edit - make that 300hp
