Fitting A Gt3076r Into A R32-rb25

[simonthomasgoodwin]

so ive recently purchaced a gt3076r and now looking at the dist between the manifold and the strut tower it looks like it might not fit down there..

has anyone done this/will i need to get a new topmount manifold?

thanks Simon G

It will fit, just need to rotate the housings, and fit a 10mm spacer between the turbo and the manifold

[R31Nismoid]

factory manifold?

you just need a spacer

[krzysiu]

Above is correct. I got a 3076 with a 10pm spacer on stock manifold. Fits on my r33. Don't think the engine bay is smaller in the r32 but I could he wrong. I know I can fit a 3540 on my stock manifold so I think you should be fine

adriano.. rotate housings? is that just a unbolt slide it round rebolt? does it affect the flow? can anyone else confirm this?

[Bunta]

yep it fits, I had this turbo on my previous car which happened to be a R32 with a RB25! And rotating does not effect the flow it just makes the outlet in the right place

rotate the exhaust housing so that the oil feed sits at the top when the turbo is bolted to the manifold then rotate the comp housing to suit your cooler piping

haha alrighty thanks guys thats a load off my mind so does anyone know of a trader on here that sells the 10mm T3 spacers and at what cost?

another q.. anyone know about oil and water lines for the 3076 wil they be the same as my Apexi 400hp thats on there atm?

[JonnoHR31]

mtq can get a spacer for you. i bought a blank off them and drilled the holes for studs myself. keep in mind you'll need longer studs for this aswell as 2 t3 gaskets etc

[Stargate]

mtq can get a spacer for you.

i did the exact same thing with my gt2876 .86 on my rb25. stock manifold. needed 2 spacers with extended hightensile studs though. mtq can supply all gaskets, lines and flangeplates you might need and for a very good price to.

Also have the same turbo, but on a 33.

+1 for Mtq having tons of stuff that you will need.

Also, The lines may be different to the ones on your apexi:

1. your apexi turbo is a 400hp turbo, this is a 550-600hp turbo and probably bigger and you may need longer/shorter lines.

2. We dont know what your apexi and your 3076r turbos cores are, meaning the type of bearing used in them. If 1 is a ball bearing and one is a journal bearing, the ball bearing requires significantly less oil whereas the journal bearing needs lots of oil - this is important for you to know.

so it probably just easier to get some new lines and fittings, they are not that expensive, I bought mine at a place called pirtek.

gl with it.

Oh wow thats spooky i also has an Apexi 400hp turbo on mine before upgrading! I needed new lines

should these lines suffice? it says single ball bearing on there tho im not 100% but i think its a dual BB (at work atm cnt go look at it)

also once ive got it bolted on with correct lines n spacers etc.. is it safe to drive it or will i need a retune? and for a tune is it going to be costly seeming as its just being retuned to the turbo or is a tune just a full tune?

I would ring MTQ and order the lines and spacer all at once it wont be that expensive, I think it cost me about $200 and it all worked perfectly. You could probably drive it to a tune off boost but i wouldnt go further than that, and as for the retune mine was a little cheaper becasue they didnt have to do a lot to the lower rpm sections of the tune so it was a little cheaper than normal

[simonthomasgoodwin]

can i get a price for the tune from anyone?

[Bunta]

they generally wont quote on a tune, at times it can be tricky to get right. My latest tune cost $700 and most of the time cost somthing around there
