GT30 time now so I need a bell mouthed dump/front and inlet pipe to connect the 4"/100mm inlet to the Z32 in the std airbox position - and retain the std recirc and breather plumbing . Black rubber/silicon joiners too if possible .

I rang Liverpool Exhausts and they have nothing off the shelf and would need car to fit , difficult since this dryer isn't fitted yet .

It sounds like Mick or Scott may be able to make these pipes up provided they have jigs to do it because you can't have my daily driven car .

I just need functional stuff that's neat and inconspicuous if possible so the changeover is quick and painless . Not going to argue over dollars because the stuff you turn out looks pretty good .

For the record the dryer is a GT3076R with the GT30 IW five bolt outlet side like an XR6 has only in 0.82AR . Externally identical to Mickos GTX3071R in every way .

If you can help me out please reply or PM , thanks in advance cheers Adrian .

I had a good look at a certain white 34 getting a GTX3076 fitted at Edge Motorworks yesterday. There was plenty of room for a 30mm spacer, but the 20mm one looked to work perfectly.

T3 spacers are available in 10 13 16 and 20mm thicknesses , 20 is what I'll try to make sure a T04S housing clears if I ever had to use one ie HTA76 etc .

Sonic or GCG seem to have everything except a bell mouthed GT30IW dump pipe so that will have to be made up to suit .

I know people sometimes go big in the tube size but I reckon 3" should be good enough for 300-330 wheel wasps .

I'm going to use the existing coolant and oil fittings from the GTRS kit .

I'm keen to see how the mid trim GT30R goes , once you make the jump to T3 flanged GT30 based turbos it opens up all sorts of possibilities you don't get with GT28 based ones . This is not to say that GTRSs are useless on RB25s and they are a very easy upgrade on a standard engine/car . Not the tool of choice if you want to double the engines output but lots better than the standard ceramic Hitachi turbo .

Anyway someone here , checkbuzz I think , claims his 0.82 52T GT3076R boosts pretty much like his GTRS did but made more power everywhere . That was on an unopened 33 25 from memory and burning PULP .

If Scotty can tune up maybe 320 and have it drive as well or better than it does now I'll be real happy .

Cheers A .

Checkbuzz either had an issue with the setup or is looking at a dyno sheet. The GT-RS is much more responsive than a GT30 based turbo but doesn't go close to have the legs...as you would expect from looking at the turbine.

Yeah looking at them the GT30 hot side is considerably larger . I wouldn't have thought the 52T cold side would make a huge difference spool wise over a 56T but time will tell the difference between it and the GTRS .

Today I bought the manifold and dump studs/nuts and most of the gaskets and copper washers . GCG doesn't have the 20mm spacer available ATM though they stock their GT30IW dump pipe . Its separate dump tube could be larger and formed to a more useful shape at the turbo outlet flange . I looked at pics of XR6T dump pipes and lots of those are made the same way .

Looking forward to seeing how it goes, and how you find it. There is no way it is going to have the low down punch of the GT-RS - however it should be quite liveable, considering a 56T is. Just a different kind of beast, and one which is much nicer suited to the engine it is on.

Most people seem to think that GTRSs are a 250+ KW PULP turbo and I think the E70 allows me to keep the boost and timing up which made 271 at the rollers .

To make more and have the engine a bit more free spinning means more turbine and housing so GT30 hot side is the way to do it . Lith we know that the GT37 compressors are good but later designs are creeping ahead . The 52T GT37 wheel in theory pumps right about what I want which is in between what the available GTX ones do . Arguably a HTA GT30 may do better all round but I own this turbo so why not use it . When tuned and I get to fiddle with the low load numbers I can draw my line in the sand and know if its just right - for me .

Will post up as it happens , cheers A .

250kw+ PULP is pretty ambitious really - as you can probably tell by "only" making 271kw using E70 etc.

Agreed, HTA would be the way to go if you were in that position but having a 52trim there and knowing you won't be looking for insane power means there is no justification in a big change - any ETA for this?

I prefer a single 20mm T3 spacer if anyone knows of any in Sydney , GCG Sonic and Liverpool can't supply ATM .

The studs I have are 41mm so around 20 the limit allowing for the turbo flange and nuts .

Does anyone have a 20mm T3 spacer they can sell me , prefer one 20 to two 10s .

Timeline probably a week after I have all the bits .

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
