hi all,

i am currently in the market for a turbo for my car (not an RB), and am looking at the Garrett GT3076R (possibly 52T), although given the cost of the genuine garrett turbine housings and large gap in A/R (.63 - .82), i'd like to know if anyone has actually tried/tested a Kinugawa turbine housing on a GT3076R (such as below)?

If so, what were the results?

many thanks,

RS500

I'm using one of these stainless Vband housings, they definitely flow well. I assume the T3 one is similar.

I haven't tried the Kando ones but they are certainly cheap. 0.73ar is a happy medium for a 2.5L...

contact paul from streettotrack he can get you a brand new garrett gt3076 with your choice of housing EXTREMELY Cheap i paid off the top of my head around 1200 delivered from garrett with warranty with the 56trim ar60 anti surge front housing and the .82 ford xr6 turbo 5 bolt style rear with a big can internal wastegate :)

hi guys,

thanks for your responses.

firslty, this turbo will not be going on an RBxx engine so there's no need to go to an A/R .82, and given the smaller GT37 52T comp wheel, it will be a more balanced combination.

i wasnt aware Paul (STT) had acces to kando/kinugawa parts.

i'll need to send him an email.

GTScotT,

it looks like i will need to be the pioneer in this sceanrio.

the fact that it's .73 interests me, given i think it'll work well with the 52T comp wheel and allow for usable mid-range torque,

also, the price is a win.

jet,

i understand your point about the genuine garrett but at $500, not sure i'll be able to sell it for a profit.

also, given that i'll be running an external wastegate, i dont i'll have any issues.

it would only be a problem if i was to go a non-genuine internally gated housing.

yeah thats true i guess u can see how you go just remember to lower the turbos overall HP giving the smaller rear housing

paul doesnt have access to kando parts from when we last spoke he just deals with garrett turbonetics and so on only the hi end brands

i guess for the price why not give it a try :) cant hurt

Jet,

not sure that i'll actually be utilising the full potential of the compressor wheel to be honest so i think the A/R .73 will be perfect for what i need.

price is my driving point right now.

not sure it's wise to pay $450-500 for a genuine garrett and then hack it (weld external gate pipe).

we can only try i guess.

i'll provide results if i end up going this way.

Any update on this, did you end up using the Kando housing? results?

Anyone else running a kando housing now on their GT or GTX3076r as i am about to get ready to put one on my R34 Gtt and am in the market for a rear housing.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
