Bell Mouthed Insert On 3037s Turbos

Hi all , I've spent too much time searching for details or pics of the machined aluminium bell mouthed insert piece HKS use in the port shrouded Garrett compressor housing on 3037"S" turbos .

We pretty much know they use the same 0.60 A/R T04E compressor housing on GT3076R's and 3037S turbos and you can see the locating step in the middle of a 3076Rs comp cover , also the outer part of the inlet has three holes for I assume roll pins or whatever to locate and retain this insert .

I'm sure I went into this a couple of years back here but I'm damned if I can find the info or pics .

At the time someone was selling a copy of the insert on E Bay and I should have bagged snaps but can't find them if I did .

As some of you would know I have a GT3076R/3037 52T turbo and ported housing on the way and I wouldn't mind having an insert like HKS's one to smooth out the incoming air and minimise the sonic shriek usually associated with port shrouded compressor housings .

Stealth is bliss , cheers Adrian .

Yes thanks for the reminder , I vaguely remember seeing pics of some in the States done like that .

Was this a mod you did after using the turbo ? I'm curious to know the with and without differences on the "sound effects" .

I suppose HKS had Garrett make these port shrouded T04E compressor housings ready to take the insert as HKS got them .

I'd prefer to have something removable so the insert could be transferred from housing to housing - saves making new ones if the housing had to be replaced .

Does anyone have a 3037S that could have a look at the roll pins or whatever they are that pins the insert into the outer section of the shrouds boss ?

It's all guinea pig work with this turbo and I hope the detail stuff can be worked out so that others have answers down the track .

Cheers Adrian .

I haven't fitted the turbo yet so I can't comment on the sound effects. For some reason I always though the noise came from the surge slot so I wouldn't have throught the bellmouth would have made much difference - no basis for this though.

If my bellmouth had to be removed for any reason I was just going to grind those 4 spot welds and re-weld - not necessary to have another remade. I got the idea from Geoff Raicer.

The HKS version must use grub screws or similar as those three holes are threaded.

Was that a thread of Geoff's or twin scroll some such at Freshalloy.com ?

Well if those holes are threaded HKS isn't using roll pins - must be some sort of extended tip grub screw . What sort of head do these have ie phillips/torx/allen socket ?

Obviously the hose clamped over the boss stops them doing roundies and hitting the fan if they come lose .

Thanks all , cheers A .

Yes it was a twin scroll thread on freshalloy. Geoff made one up for one of his customers which was pictured on the forum - open this thread and scroll down.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
