Hey guys,

Have been searching around for the cheapest possible new gt3076r available.

The best possible combo I have found is as follows:

GCG Garrett GT3076R-56T "supercore"

Kinugawa 0.82a/r 84trim T3 Turbine Housing

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Turbine-Housing-Kinugawa-Garrett-GT30R-GT3037-GT3076R-GTX3076R-A-R-82-12cm-/271242857966?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f27558dee&_uhb=1

....

All up this would cost $1304.60 which is $300-400 cheaper than any other option I can find.

My question is, are these kinugawa housings reliable being they are half the price of a garrett? I know the kinugawa turbos are decent budget items but there isnt much search results about just the housings alone.

Also,

Kinugawa offer a 0.73a/r option aswell.

Has anyone ever had any experience of this size housing on a gt3076r + rb25 combo?

I know the 0.63 sizes are a bit restrictive for power but have good response. Would a mid-way 0.73 size be a good compromise?

Atm the rb25 makes 330rwkw @ 23psi with a gt3582r 0.82 but am interested in picking up response at the expense of some power.

Was just going to go 0.82 as so many people have examples of the response and power capable but am curious as to the potential of the 0.73.

Any info would be great,

Cheers

There is a whole thread dedicated to Kando turbo's, also look at the Hypergear options for similar cost and local warranty.

IBTL.

Sigh

There is a big thread about kando TURBOS not the turbine housings... I am asking about the housings.

I dont want a hypergear I want a garrett gt3076r.

Its a bit annoying that everytime someone asks an innocent question about turbos on this forum that people come in and shoot them down with responses directing them to completely different topics or products.

Your reply has nothing to do with my question at all which is about turbine housings offered by a company.

Yes they are reliable, and they flow well. Are they tested to destruction like the Garrett offerings? Probably not. Will they contain the exploding turbine wheel? I doubt it.

I run a stainless housing on mine, it's the Tial copy 60mm GT30 version and it works very well externally gated.

I may be selling a used 3076R 56T .63 AR T3 Vband turbo complete. Turbo is near new in terms of KM's or working hours.

PM me an offer if this is what you are looking for. I am looking to go larger, 35R ish. I may be looking to swap.

Ooh swap swap! Both win....

Except for the rear housing issues... V band vs 4 bolt?

Man that price seems pretty reasonable! Kando turbos have been used for ages now, so one would assume the turbine housings are being cast to an acceptable level. HKS did GT3037s with .73a/r turbine housings and people seemed pretty happy with those from memory, could hunt around and see how they perform - would assume Kando have used that as a template of sorts.

Burst containment is more to do with compressor housings than turbine housings, compressor housings are made of alloys are a bit trickier to contain exploding alloy - the turbine housings are probably a bit less of a risk in that sense.

What fuel are you running? Depending on dyno, engine setup and fuel you may not hit that 330kw mark with a normal GT3076R

Yep, Pump 98 on mine made 311kw on about 20-18psi originally, then i think 315kw later..... Still that is plenty of fun!

Nice info guys.

I dont expect to make 330rwkw again, I would be happy with 280-300 on 20psi. Want to run a lower boost on the street though.

Pump98.

GTScoT I could be keen for a swap. Mines a 0.82 gt3582r t3. Not sure how many km's is it on it though but its perfectly fine.

Well, doesn't look like swap will go ahead at this stage.

Just ordered this:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271242857966?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I'll see how well it works and if the 3076R is still choking this setup. If its still too small we can discuss a swap, I will be getting this tuned in the next few weeks. Need to sort out a dud C4 gearbox first.

Will get to solve everyone's curiosity on these housings also. Cross your fingers lads.

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • 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.
