pretty sure they do a copy of a 3037..its 1.5k though

NO..... Damn man dont spread rubbish like that..

They sell a REAL 3037 with a Kando rear housing for 1.5k, its a great price.

sandy vag?

Thats right, i only saw it once and my memory aint so great

Though technically a 3037 should have a HKS badge on it :P

tell ya what i was thinking too scott..ya know that dud turbo on my car, why dont i put a 3037 comp wheel on it they are pretty cheap..you reckon it would fit...?

my Garrett GT3076R had a GT3037 ID ... it was on the CHRA

+1. The "37" refers to the GT37 series impeller, been rehashed and explained numerous times in various threads. Garrett make them, Garrett name them, and HKS stayed with the naming convention when being supplied those units.

I wouldn't expect to see any HKS naming on something Kando supply.

LOL yeah someone else already said it, HKS box or Garrett box = same product. The HKS one says HKS on the comp cover but eh yeah... same same.

As for whacking a 3037 comp wheel on, sick idea. You will need the comp cover to match. You could send it to Stao and he would be able to fit the wheel and supply the new cover. Would need to be rebalanced.

But then youd look like a goose with a lazy 300kw when you had the opportunity to have an AWESOME!!!! 300kw lol.

Cmon man just try

yeah i am gunna do the kando dont stress..Its all set to go :thumbsup:

i was originally going to change the wheel on this one as you know but hought it would have to be balanced..i have recently been informed there is no need to balance it just bolt a new wheel in and go, a 3076 wheel is only 50 on ebay...a 3037 is 120....I could of done that..so my question was more hypertherotical ..

Yeah definitely need to balance it.

Dont forget the old T4 76mm and the GT37 76mm are different dimensions other than OD. You would need the housing too.

If I was to do it I really would just send it to HG

Hey Guys,

Been thinking about getting a TD06SL2-20G, but have come to the conclusion i prob would want more repsonse so sent Eiji an email asking if he could do a TD05-18G in t3 flange. He came back with this response.

What do you guys rekon? Would the turbo be a compromise and should i just wait for the actual T3 model to be released towards the end of November? Plus would it give me much more response over the TD06? And i assume it would have the V-band on the exhasut housing still?

Hi,

Our T3/TD05H turbine housing is not available yet until end of Nov.

I have a genuine MHI TD05H-12G turbo with 8cm housing as this listing.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Turbocharger-Genuine-KUBOTA-V4702-Tractor-TD05H-12G-49178-03200-T3-8cm-New-/280763620494?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item415ed0dc8e#ht_2093wt_1185

I can upgrade it to TD05H-18G for you if you don鈥檛 wanna wait.

It will look like the below turbo.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kinugawa-Turbocharger-3-Cover-T3-8cm-V-Band-Housing-TD06SL2-18G-/290622631545?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43aa756e79#ht_2686wt_1185

Unit price will be AUD 799 to door.

I could offer oil-cooled bearing housing and water-cooled bearing system as well.

If you wanna wait the 8cm/TD05H turbine housing,

Please let me know your email that I could contact? you when it is available in the future.

Regards

Eiji Takada

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 馃槢
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
