What do u guys think of this thingy to mount a Gt3076/GT3037 on the stock manifold?

post-42272-1260656649_thumb.jpg

Couple of points to note....

1) No internal WG so no f@&kin around with actuators and dump pipes for proper boost control. :D

2) No excessive heat in the engine room from using a ss high mount as the original heat shield can be reused.

3) No headaches to pull off the ss to repair when they crack

4) No need for a spacer to clear the compressor from touching on the manifold.

5) Everything just bolts up with new gaskets

6) Cheaper

7) Did i mention it was cheaper?

And the cons.....

1) Will it clear the strut tower with added 2.5" or so added to the side?

Does any one have pics with the Gt3076 mounted on the stock ex manifold using either this or the normal flat spacer???

What do u guys think??

Thanks.

is this a cheap chinese no-brander ebay part or is it a proven HKS / Trust / Greddy item?

im guessing a cheap chinese ebay no brander part so its probably not proven / useful

i mean, the exhaust gas is forced out one way and full throttle then a 90deg port is opened

i dont how other gates are setup but im certain they aren't 90deg bends ?

i agree with external gate for better control and stability sure

but if you goto the effort and $ of external gate, you should really do it properly

ghetto external gate setups = not my preference

you get what you pay for basically

Is is a ebay part and i have no evidence what so ever of its results.... kinda why i asked the question in the first place :D

Anyway i had the same concern with the ex gas venting at a 90* angle but i guess its ok since it vents where all the ports has already merged and in a common chamber.

The other ss ones that alot of ppl seem to be using vents from a common chamber also, but at 180*.... ie. in the total opposite direction of the air flow

As i said i have seen no results but it just seem as a very convenient option instead of using a high mount or welding a pipe for the ex gate off the stock manifold.

Its nothing but two T3 flanges connected by a piece of hollow section with a 38mm wastegate flange on one side...... can be fabricated pretty easily if u ask me...... the mechanics of it however is a bit questionable...

And spend the extra dollars on what?????

he is saying (as am i) that its probably a junker product

if you are up to trial fitting and mechanically minded etc then go for it

fit it at home and set it all up and away you go

if the part is ass you remove it and go to how it was

if you arent and you have to pay a workshop to do it then its probably wasted $ as the part could be ass

Do you already have the turbo? if so just pull off the intercoller piping in the engine bay, measure from the face of the flange on the exhaust to the strut tower then measure from the face of the flange on the turbo to the furthest side of the comp cover, add 2.5" and see where you are at, then post it up here coz i would like to know as well.

As for it being a cheap chinese part some are good some are bad, this one looks pretty simple with not a lot that could go wrong, whilst it is better to get name brand stuff sometimes little things like this sometimes have no difference from the name brand stuff.

I also dont believe that the 90o venting will make much of a difference, all a wastegate does it relieve pressure before it gets to the exhaust housing.

I went thru the exact same dilemma when I installed the HX35 on my RB30det. and I looked at these but was stopped by the sheer size of the turbo. there was not enough room without the turbo touching the strut tower.

also I was worried about it cracking due to sheer weight.

I ended up using a 20 mm spacer to get the clearance I needed and then going and external gate mounted on the manifold from a section of steam pipe the same as worp3d's but joined at the collector on the top. I ended up with PERFECT boost control and decent clearance. I fabbed up the lot myself and it looks reasonable.

what foolboost has posted is the way to go. but it would require a lot of custom work making it to expensive to justify as by the time you had it done you could have bought yourself a 6boost manifold.

HAVE A LOOK HERE FOR MY TREAD WITH DETAILS AND PHOTOS

Could use one of these :)

I had to use an adaptor like this to fit a gt35/40r to rb25/30 in r32. The compressor housing was touching the manifold so a spacer was needed and it was a good place to fit wastegate fitting.

If i used a straight spacer, the turbo would hit the chassisrail. as it sits now, i have about 20mm clearance

Yeh i figured the one with the angle will allow for more clearance as seen here

The one i pictured above and all others i have seen that is recommended for the Rb however doesn't seem like it would work without modification.

The holes on both sides are threaded so i guess it was designed to work with studs on either side which will be fine for the turbo side but impossible to bolt to the manifold because even if the thread is drilled out the hole is sooo close to the wall it would not allow for a stud to fit especially where the wastegate flange sits.

Someone on another forum went through this and was left to weld the adapter directly to the manifold

The one "Foolboost" posted however seems like a better option although i think the wastegate flange/type might be a little too big....44mm right?

Anyone know where i can get that type of adaptor???

Thanks.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
