Bell Mouthed Insert On 3037s Turbos

Hi all , I've spent too much time searching for details or pics of the machined aluminium bell mouthed insert piece HKS use in the port shrouded Garrett compressor housing on 3037"S" turbos .

We pretty much know they use the same 0.60 A/R T04E compressor housing on GT3076R's and 3037S turbos and you can see the locating step in the middle of a 3076Rs comp cover , also the outer part of the inlet has three holes for I assume roll pins or whatever to locate and retain this insert .

I'm sure I went into this a couple of years back here but I'm damned if I can find the info or pics .

At the time someone was selling a copy of the insert on E Bay and I should have bagged snaps but can't find them if I did .

As some of you would know I have a GT3076R/3037 52T turbo and ported housing on the way and I wouldn't mind having an insert like HKS's one to smooth out the incoming air and minimise the sonic shriek usually associated with port shrouded compressor housings .

Stealth is bliss , cheers Adrian .

Yes thanks for the reminder , I vaguely remember seeing pics of some in the States done like that .

Was this a mod you did after using the turbo ? I'm curious to know the with and without differences on the "sound effects" .

I suppose HKS had Garrett make these port shrouded T04E compressor housings ready to take the insert as HKS got them .

I'd prefer to have something removable so the insert could be transferred from housing to housing - saves making new ones if the housing had to be replaced .

Does anyone have a 3037S that could have a look at the roll pins or whatever they are that pins the insert into the outer section of the shrouds boss ?

It's all guinea pig work with this turbo and I hope the detail stuff can be worked out so that others have answers down the track .

Cheers Adrian .

I haven't fitted the turbo yet so I can't comment on the sound effects. For some reason I always though the noise came from the surge slot so I wouldn't have throught the bellmouth would have made much difference - no basis for this though.

If my bellmouth had to be removed for any reason I was just going to grind those 4 spot welds and re-weld - not necessary to have another remade. I got the idea from Geoff Raicer.

The HKS version must use grub screws or similar as those three holes are threaded.

Was that a thread of Geoff's or twin scroll some such at Freshalloy.com ?

Well if those holes are threaded HKS isn't using roll pins - must be some sort of extended tip grub screw . What sort of head do these have ie phillips/torx/allen socket ?

Obviously the hose clamped over the boss stops them doing roundies and hitting the fan if they come lose .

Thanks all , cheers A .

Yes it was a twin scroll thread on freshalloy. Geoff made one up for one of his customers which was pictured on the forum - open this thread and scroll down.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
