Hey ppls,

Has any one bothered port matching the turbine inlet of their Garrett GT30/GT35 turbine housing?

Mine and another (GT35) the inlet is smaller than that of the stock exhaust manifold and another aftermarket manifold that used a 'standard' T3 flange size.

Yep, my GT30R was exactly the same - quite a bit smaller.... I almost wondered if it was deliberate so instead of over shooting it'd undershoot the size of any manifold it was attaching to, and you could match it to suit from there.

Yes. ;)

Once I've got the head back from Miltons I will be bolting it on, welding up the inlet pipe and dump pipe as quick as possible. 3-4am late nights coming up. ;)

Just finished up port matching the std exh manifold; when I dropped the rb30det in I just wanted to get it in and started. :P

Ports 1 and 6 are out by 1.5mm towards the top of the port, 2-5 are fairly spot on.

See how I go tomorrow ripping in to it.

Nice - how is this coming along? Are you running one of the 56-trim GT3076Rs (with the anti-surge cover)? It'll be really interesting to see how you find it on the RB30.

Lithium.

I have the GT3076r .6 port shroud comp cover with the .82 IW rear. Should be good to see how it goes as I'm going to see what its got, then shove a little water/meth injection on it and see what I can really squeeze out of it.

Here's the before/after pic.

Its all smooth to feel even the stud lumps. The dremel is at the old mans so I tried my luck with supercheap drill stones; they worked quite well. :sleep:

I've since smoothed out the stud lumps even more so; the wastegate area was quite smooth so I didn't bother with that.

I'm waiting on a T3 spacer from MTQ; I got the head back last week so not long now. :O

Looking very nice. I have a friend who likes the way the GT3076R behaves on my RB25DET and wonders what it'd be like on a 3litre. Well we both do... as I'm yet to 100% decide what to do when I get to the rebuild stage.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
