Hey guys! So long story short, I have an RB25 with a fair amount of work done, It's been running a GT3037S (From what I can tell).

It's housed in a .87ar, T28(?) I believe, well.. my problem is, the manifold I had, cracked, thrice. Welded it up, cracked again. So I'm on a mission to utilize my T3 Exhaust manifold.

I'm really hoping Discopotato chimes in ;) As I've seen him of great help on the countless threads I've read tonight, specifically with a T3 housing that had fitment issues on a supposed GT30 turbo some time ago.

Does anyone have the inducer/exducer size that would match the 56T version of the 3037? I know I'll have to buy a housing and machine it to fit the turbine.

The GT37 compressor in 56 trim was around 76mm on the inducer and around 57 from memory on the inducer .

Turbine housings , you should be able to buy them in T3 flange to suit a Garrett BB turbo with a GT30 turbine . If running an integral waste gate should be easy to get .

Hi! I'll get pictures uploaded shortly. 

 

It's definitely a .87ar, T2 flanged manifold, very short and stout the rear turbine housing is.

The only thing that sucks, is that the tag in the CHRA is missing, but everything I've found as far as Comp housing and such match to a 56GT 3037S (Gt30r).

I'll try to dig up the thread where someone had this same issue, I have an external wastegate so it is a bit harder to find, and hoping that someone can machine the housing to fit properly.

You cartridge is the same as that GT3076R 56T got . The part number is 700177-7 , sometimes shown as -5007 .

In the GTX gen 2 era the bearing pack changed to the G series type and the part number changed as well .

You could get a new old stock cartridge or a later one as they are supposed to be interchangeable in the turbine and compressor housings .

And I did look , T3 flanged non gated .GT30 single scroll housings should be available and are V band outlet .

Or you can use the T3 flanged integral gate ones with the Ford XR6 style outlet , been done to death on factory RB25 exhaust manifolds . Gated or not gated housings aren't cheap as they are made of Ni resist material .

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
