I have got my hands on the latest release from garrett.

i need a 25mm spacer between the turbo and the manifold,

and i need to fabricate a dump pipe but apart from that everything i had for the gt30 will plumb straight

in. I picked the .82 a/r so i will be very interesting to see the results.

here's a couple of pics. looks good

sorry

i just checked and my bad.

8mm is the dump flange bolts.

the t3 base bolts are 10mm.

and yes once it is spaced away from the manifold there is heaps of room.

i will start taking some progress pics when i get home from work.

Is this the internally gated T3 housing that Garrett have been promising all year, and part of last?

What is the used unit beside it? It appears to have a Garrett logo on the compressor housing too.

And most importantly, can you post up the CHRA ID tag number too please?

I'm going to be interested in the progress pics.

cheers

Yes very interesting , hope they are available in quantity !

Dale the CHRA number would be the same for any cartridge with the same comp/turbine so its the complete assembly or unit number you want . Something worth noting is the part number stamped on the side of the exhaust housings mounting flange in the second shot . This would almost certainly be the turbine housings part number .

What I want to know is can these housings be grafted onto the GT37R cartridges because they have the potential to be better than the GT3540R cartridge for the larger/est RB - just need a suitable exhaust housing .

Awesome news!!!!

Out of curiosity.... :(

Do they have a .63 internal gate gt3540?

Hi all , I got to look at a couple of these this afternoon - yep .63 and .82AR ratio .

The Garrett part numbers for the housings themselves (according to the packaging) is 771300-5 for the .82 and 771300-6 for the .63 .

The waste gate flat valve looks to be the same size as the IW GT28 housings and there is room for a larger disc as well . Doing a "high flow" on this valve is common practise on souped up XR6T's so no reason why these could not be modified the same way . BUT - always that but - the greater the area of the disc the more area exhaust manifold gasses under pressure have to work on to try and force it open . I kid you not and don't laugh , I've seen people using what looked like old bed springs trying to keep this valve shut .

The rule is if you run high boost pressure do everything you can to have the exhaust manifold pressure down somewhere near inlet manifold pressure . You don't need massive exhaust manifold pressure to drive the turbine just sufficient gas velocity by thermal expansion .

Back to those housings , Brett at GCG has I think five of each AR size ATM so be quick if you need one soon . Had I been better organised I would have had some pics but no doubt they'll turn up .

Cheers Adrian .

    • I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.
    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
