Hello,

I have an HKS GT3037S turbo and wastegate that I may sell, depending upon which car I get next. Just wondering if anyone out there is interested? Not sure what price at the moment. Specs are as follows:

HKS GT3037S Turbo with

56T trim

0.6 A/R Compressor Housing

0.73 Exhaust Housing

HKS External Wastegate (50mm I think)

Cheers!

Just an update, I actually have 2 GT3037S turbos. One with a 56T trim, the other with a 52T trim. At the moment, the 52T trim turbo is damaged - turbine wheel needs replacing. I am going to send this turbo to Garrett in Sydney to see if it can be repaired. If so, I will sell one of the turbos but not sure at what price, it depends how much it costs me to fix.

I am not sure if I will sell the wastegate as well, because I may decide to keep this. So most probably the turbo will be the only thing for sale. I have a pic of it if anyone is interested, but I don't know how to post pics on this forum?

People interested can email me at: [email protected]

Once again, be reminded that I won't know a price until it's repaired, IF it can be repaired that is. Ball bearing turbos, as you might be aware, are quite difficult to fix. But if you email me, I can send you a pic of the turbo.

GR8NES: The turbos are the same, except the the compressor trim. With one being 56T and the other 52T. I am not sure whether this can be changed, because I don't think you can buy the compressor trims separate. I heard that HKS don't deal with repairs and the likes because it's very difficult to repair and balance their turbos. But Garrett are more willing to help.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
