I'm curious to know if anyone is running a Garrett GT3076R (GT30 IW turbine housing) on the HKS cast low mount exhaust manifold . I know with a GT3082R on the HKS manifold mods are needed to make the compressor housing miss the engine mount or bracket and I'm hoping the GT3076R's comp housing being a little more compact will miss everything .

Another thing I'm hoping is that the HKS manifold mounting the turbo a bit lower and further back will make it possible to plumb into the std airbox via a std or Z32 AFM .

Anyone been here , cheers Adrian .

Well you should be able to tell me if the turbo misses everything or if any alterations were needed .

Do you have any pics of the turbo fitted up ?

Unless anyone knows I must ask GCG if the gated and non gated GT30 turbine housings are based on the same center and mount flange dimensions .

Cheers , Adrian .

you can see how the front houseing hits the eng mount so you will need to remove the heat sheild on the eg mount and trim engine mount down

this is a comparason front uncut to cut to fit

you will also have to modify the power steering return like to the resivour all i done was cut the hard line from the P/S rack about 3" shorter and ran a new hose i never had to alter the A/C line but it does sit a bit too close to the exhaust houseing on the turbo

Thanks for the pics , I'm also considering reducing the inlet pipe down to around 80mm and hopefully into a standard airbox . Just on this why does everyone say that it's virtually impossible to use them with a GT3076R ?

I think the few R33's using this manifold I've seen (eyes and pics) have GT3582R's or GT3082R's meaning they use the larger T04S comp housing . I was hoping that the HKS manifold having the dryer a bit further south may leave extra space to plumb in the AFM and factory airbox .

The 76R's air outlet is 2"/51mm as well so the duct to the intercooler could be a bit smaller than the T04S's 2.25"/57mm one .

From memory these manifolds were designed to mount a T04E turbo and the turbine housing would have been effectively a little different and the turbos centre housing a little longer moving the comp housing further forward .

Cheers A .

Time to prove the naysayers wrong.

You should remove and replace the factory manifold studs anyway so it should be easy to dummy fit the HKS mani and GT3076 turbo while it is all off. Whoever is doing the work can then see the scale of modifications (if any at all).

(from memory when fitting) a smaller inlet would mean you wouldnt have to cut, if at all very very little of the eng mount but you would have to remover the heat shield

I spotted a 0.70 A/R on that comp cover, so assume it's the physically bigger TO4S style. Looks like you'd get away without touching anything.

Wolverine is on the mark - do a dummy fit and you'll soon see what's what on the bench. Moving into custom stuff it's not unusual to have to make "adjustments", although I'd sooner keep that heat shield on the engine mount.

The pics kyle785 provided suggest you may stand a chance of running the stock airbox if you really wanted, but the HKS manifold screams modified.

Yes it doesn't look completely standard but in my case it should look a little less lethal without the "EGR Valve" on it .

I was thinking of making a heat shield for it out of that quilted aluminium blanket material which Ford use at times . I must also hunt around at Pick and Payless to see if there are any factory heat shields that could be convinced to fit .

I don't suppose the XR6T's have a heat shield on the turbine housing do they ?

Yes will fit new studs as in the modified head will probably go on at the same time so easy to fit them beforehand .

I really like the idea of RIPS modded inlet manifold to take the GTR ITB's but thats going to have to wait for the time being . Have to organise the pipes and a GTR front mount , maybe 33 GTR drivers side plumbing will fit .

Cheers A .

likewise, really want any sort of decent low mount manifold really, not keen on high mount. 6 boost dont make low mount manifolds hey?

i have a 6 boost lowmount manifold for external gate

i managed to lowmount a gt35/40

but i needed to modify the the engine mount to clear the compressor housing

was such a tight fit

I purchased an hKS low mount mani for my ER34 GT-T. My plan is to go with a GT3076R with a .82AR. Has anyone used this setup on a GT-T ER34? I am also at the same time modding the head to use the RB26DETT ITB setup. Will see how it goes, trying to keep the TCS as well no matter how ugly it is :P.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
