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.

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
