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

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 :)

The kando housing has always interested me, the price is soo cheap.

afaik they are untried at this stage :( were waiting for a Pioneer as such, will that be you? lol

maybe contact paul and ask for some prices of the rear housing i would only ever use a garrett rear housing and nothing else if u want to run a kando rear sell the garrett make a profit and buy a kando there cheap enough

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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
