The turbine housing for the GT3076 or GT3082 is exactly the same, they are interchangeable. Its just that the GT3082 has the larger compressor wheel that flows more than the turbine/hotside is able to pass. Which is why garrett don't list the GT3082 on their website, its technically a bad combination.

I really don't know why there is the need for a GT3082r as the GT3076 comp wheel flows enough for 300-320 odd rwkw pushing close to mid 20psi on an RB with a set of cams.

well my poncams have arrived.

Before i start!

whats the story with unbolting the vct of the old cam and re installing on the new inlet cam?

is there anything i should be aware of or just unbolt the front cover of the vct, and so forth!

cheers

Darren,

I vaguely remember something about having to spin the motor slightly off TDC when bolting the cams in.

Double check with John as I'm not 100% sure but its definitely something worth finding out as there's nothing worse than damaging a valve or two.

    • That may not be so tricky with a changeover relay (again, with LED indicator only to reduce load on existing headlight + source)  30 to indicator + globe side 86 and 87 to headlight parker + 87a to original indicator + chassis side 85 to chassis/earth repeat on each corner, sorted, no diode required
    • There might have been some "hard core" decalcification going on in the cells to create that noise As for chargers, I stick all our cars on a trickle charger every few months to "clean out their pipes/cells", the Mrs battery in her Mistsu ASX is still running its OEM from new battery 10 years on, and that thing does alot of short drives, and it can sit around for ages without a good long run
    • I'm not sure the diode only will give the desired result. I'd probably approach it with a couple of relays (And you still might need a diode too!). You need to be able to break the constant feed from the headlight to the orange corner globe when the indicator is flashing. Not knowing which Skyline we're talking about specifically here too (And it may not matter, but I don't know the R34 column switches) you'd likely need to rewire the stalk, so that the indicator power itself no longer runs through the stalk too, as now you need it able to trigger a relay that will break the constant supply from the headlights to the indicator, then you'll need a separate relay to trigger the indicators to come on (Replacing the internal action of the indicator stalk).
    • Weird story from me My Toyota 86 was with Commbank comprehensive but for market value (who they use to underwrite is unknown) When I munted it beyond financially viable repair in 2020, rear end smashed in to the point it bent the rear quarter and roof, they knew I paid $31k cash for it because I told them, they still paid me out $38k, as all the 2017 limited edition variants with typical Km and condition were going for between $36-41k, so they did weird math and came up with $38k I never officially mentioned any of the mods that I had done, but as they were not the cause of the crash they were not fussed at all, the insurance inspector actually asked if I wanted to replace all the mods with the OEM stuff if I still had it laying around before they took the car I still came out of it behind though, because I had probably dropped $20k in it with the suspension (bent after the prang), wheels (bent as well) and "other" mods, that the inspector asked about But still, as the market value was higher than what I initially paid, and they paid out market value To say I was surprised with the outcome would be an understatement  Weird, but true, but probably just lucky with the inspector on the day I guess  Sadly, I don't think if I munted the old NC1 MX5 I would get the same result Meh, pay to play
    • Well, the car is back, all straight and shiny, for how long for is anyone's guess  After picking it up we went for a bit of a drive, Jebus I really enjoy driving this little thing, hopefully the weather let's us go for a nice long cruise this weekend as it will be out of my hands for at least a few days next week when it heads back into Mania on Monday It's weird, whilst I do always enjoy going for a drive, the NC makes me feel like a kid who has just got his first car, and they just want to drive wherever and whenever they can I really need to look into the MX5 Club of NSW
