I have got my hands on the latest release from garrett.

i need a 25mm spacer between the turbo and the manifold,

and i need to fabricate a dump pipe but apart from that everything i had for the gt30 will plumb straight

in. I picked the .82 a/r so i will be very interesting to see the results.

here's a couple of pics. looks good

sorry

i just checked and my bad.

8mm is the dump flange bolts.

the t3 base bolts are 10mm.

and yes once it is spaced away from the manifold there is heaps of room.

i will start taking some progress pics when i get home from work.

Is this the internally gated T3 housing that Garrett have been promising all year, and part of last?

What is the used unit beside it? It appears to have a Garrett logo on the compressor housing too.

And most importantly, can you post up the CHRA ID tag number too please?

I'm going to be interested in the progress pics.

cheers

Yes very interesting , hope they are available in quantity !

Dale the CHRA number would be the same for any cartridge with the same comp/turbine so its the complete assembly or unit number you want . Something worth noting is the part number stamped on the side of the exhaust housings mounting flange in the second shot . This would almost certainly be the turbine housings part number .

What I want to know is can these housings be grafted onto the GT37R cartridges because they have the potential to be better than the GT3540R cartridge for the larger/est RB - just need a suitable exhaust housing .

Awesome news!!!!

Out of curiosity.... :(

Do they have a .63 internal gate gt3540?

Hi all , I got to look at a couple of these this afternoon - yep .63 and .82AR ratio .

The Garrett part numbers for the housings themselves (according to the packaging) is 771300-5 for the .82 and 771300-6 for the .63 .

The waste gate flat valve looks to be the same size as the IW GT28 housings and there is room for a larger disc as well . Doing a "high flow" on this valve is common practise on souped up XR6T's so no reason why these could not be modified the same way . BUT - always that but - the greater the area of the disc the more area exhaust manifold gasses under pressure have to work on to try and force it open . I kid you not and don't laugh , I've seen people using what looked like old bed springs trying to keep this valve shut .

The rule is if you run high boost pressure do everything you can to have the exhaust manifold pressure down somewhere near inlet manifold pressure . You don't need massive exhaust manifold pressure to drive the turbine just sufficient gas velocity by thermal expansion .

Back to those housings , Brett at GCG has I think five of each AR size ATM so be quick if you need one soon . Had I been better organised I would have had some pics but no doubt they'll turn up .

Cheers Adrian .

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
