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.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • 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.
