There may be an opportunity for me to acquire a 2nd hand GT3076 R Ball bearing turbo 0.64 Exhaust housing, internally gated, < 5000ks (hardly used), for approximately $900/$1000 (purchased approx 4 months ago for $1750).

The turbo currently uses a t25 flange and is fitted to a worked 2l Hyianda Coupe..

Few questions-

Is this turbo a good option for me? It seems to be a turbo of choice for many of you out there. I am after minimal lag, and fast acceleration up to 5000RPM.

If I can get the turbo for this approximate price what budget should I allow for..

I have a stock r33, done 85,000k running stock 7psi, with a full 3 inch exhaust and hiflow cat - thats it..

My understanding is that I will have to purchase (absolute minimum):

*dump pipe

*Upgrade computer

*Upgrade Fuel lines

If I can get the turbo for $900, do you think a budget of $2k is reasonable, or am i tripping.

T25 flange is the first hurdle. Requires work to adapt to the stock T3 flange on the manifold.

Then there is the issue of exactly what spec the rotating assembly is (CHRA in Garrett-speak).

With these things you need to do homework on them before jumping in.

cheers

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
