Hey guys,

Time to rack everyone's brains!

I have been looking into a turbo upgrade recently for my GTT along with a few bits and pieces.. I have done a lot of research across the net, scoured through every possible thread on the forum trying to decide the way I want to go. Ideally I would like to keep the turbo set up low mounted with my factory manifold for the stealth look and keep that factoryish look with a black metal intake I will obviously have to fabricate. I already have a full exhaust from the 6 bolt JJR dump back to my kakimoto oval exhaust. I also want to run an internally gated setup.

I have looked into the HKS GTRS kits, hypergear range inc stao's highflow service, GCG highflow and the Garrett GT/GTX3076R

All of the above are a direct bolt on except for the garrett which I've found comes in a v-band or a 5 bolt rear. I was leaning towards the Garett's even though it meant changing/ fabricating the dump pipe.. I am aware the Garrett's need a 10 to 14 mm spacer aswell as it will foul on the factory manifold and also longer studs to get it bolted to the manifold. Thankyou research!

That was until I found this listing on ebay for a GT3076R which the seller has confirmed they are a direct fit and are a brand new unit with full factory warranty etc etc..For $100 extra the GTX variant can be provided.

My question to my fellow SAU'ers.. Has anyone ever come across these before? Do any of you own one of these? As much as there is the chance I will need longer studs and spacers to get it fitted what would be the odds of this being a " direct bolt on " as claimed?

Thanks Pete..

Well, it's obviously not a Garrett rear housing. They've knocked up a rear housing with Nissan dump flange and what would have to be enough extra length to push it away from the engine so it doesn't foul. That all sounds good.....but has anyone got any idea how good the profile in that housing is? Response? Power ceiling?

Using this turbine housing shown on photo above. The GT3076 CHRA will be straggling to perform any thing 250rwkws or above. Which our standard high flow service can easily out perform, and cost you less then half of their listed price.

Do the highflow because everything will bolt in... Because all the bolts are in the same spot.

That said I have a gtx3076r on the std manifold without a spacer, but as mentioned its not got a Garrett rear housing.

Thankyou for the reply. So it seems it is a direct bolt on turbo! Do you mind me asking what power you are making and with what mods?

It's not really a bolt on turbo... Mine does NOT have a Garrett rear housing, it is a t3 with a vband rear on to a vband dump pipe.

I imagine due to that different rear housings is why I do not need a spacer.

I bought a similar "direct bolt on" Garrett from ebay. I got the GT2860RS version. It's possible I bought it off the same seller too, I'm not sure.

I tried installing it myself. It was direct bolt on, except for the oil and water lines. As said in their ad, you need to buy their line kit for extra $200

    • 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.
