3037S/3076R Damaged Worth?

[jamie curran]

Hey guys just wondering what a 3037S is when needing a rebuild?

As far as i can see it needs new bearing, hard to tell much more.

New CHRA is about $1100ish so you can work backwards or forwards from there.

[jamie curran]

$1100? where from? i thought they were more than that new

[R31Nismoid]

Nope, around $1100 trade.

But by as they come with wheels (cartridge assembly), labour/balancing to remove and refit given the 3037S is not a off-shelf cartridge IIRC, it'll probably be around 1600-1800 total rebuild price from a reputable rebuilder.

Could be more, but i doubt it'll be any less

[jamie curran]

so ur saying it would cost me more than to buy a brand new turbo?

so if i can get the turbo for $500 im coming up even, then ive gotta pay for it to be shipped down there and back...and then the labour

Call a few turbo places but I had my last one supplied by MTQ.

[R31Nismoid]

If you can buy a HKS 3037S for $1800, i'll buy 10.

The turbo you have can ONLY be purchased with the cartridge/CHRA. They are not rebuildable.

You purchase the whole thing and it comes with front/rear wheels. You need housings then, actuator etc.

He said a HKS 3037s, those are the Garrett versions, HKS get them off Garrett and alter them for even better response/power.. etc... thats why HKS call it a 3037s and Garrett call it a 3076r

[R31Nismoid]

As above, that is not a 3037S

Pretty sure the 3037S (HKS) was the only 3076 series to come with a certain size wheel trim.

Its trivial at best in terms of performance gain however, but there is no way they are $1800 new. Only HKS have them 3037S

[jamie curran]

ok so u can get a different extra trim size in the HKS version but other than that they are the exact same Turbo

[R31Nismoid]

yes

[jamie curran]

ok now that we are on the same brainwave, i would be better off buying new Garret GT3076R for $1750 than buying a 2nd hand HKS 3037S and getting it repaired and costing me maybe more....

[Simon-S14]

thats it.. save ur self the hassle and juist buy a new garret

[jamie curran]

Thank you Simon.

In reality a Garrett GT3076R is a HKS GT3037S without the bell mouthed insert piece and a HKS turbine housing .

In recent years you could get the 52 and 56 compressor trim versions ex Japan and the matching port shrouded compressor housings as well .

HKS added their own unique bits to an as supplied Garrett turbo , it would not be cost effective for them to buy turbochargers and alter them . They'd have them made to spec which they do/did .

As above, just to confirm that the 3037S core is the same as the garrett item. Both the 52 and 56 trim CHRA can be purchased new from GCG.

The unique items added to the turbo by HKS are the housings. If you were to pick up a busted 3037S WITH THE HOUSINGS for the right price, provided you can still use the housing (not damaged when the turbo blew) you will be able to replace the CHRA with ease.

Both 56 and 52 trim versions available from GCG for under $1400 retail:

For the "real" ones with the GT37 compressor wheel the cartridge numbers are 700177-5006 and -5007 for 52 and 56 trims .

The HKS "S" suffix should denote that it runs a "free floating" spec that requires an external gate.

A "Pro S" suffix denotes an internally gated turbine housing.

I sourced a Pro S housing and used it with an assembly sourced new from Garrett. As Adrian said, it comes without the bell mouth insert but otherwise it's the same unit.
