hi all,

i am currently in the market for a turbo for my car (not an RB), and am looking at the Garrett GT3076R (possibly 52T), although given the cost of the genuine garrett turbine housings and large gap in A/R (.63 - .82), i'd like to know if anyone has actually tried/tested a Kinugawa turbine housing on a GT3076R (such as below)?

If so, what were the results?

many thanks,

RS500

contact paul from streettotrack he can get you a brand new garrett gt3076 with your choice of housing EXTREMELY Cheap i paid off the top of my head around 1200 delivered from garrett with warranty with the 56trim ar60 anti surge front housing and the .82 ford xr6 turbo 5 bolt style rear with a big can internal wastegate :)

The kando housing has always interested me, the price is soo cheap.

afaik they are untried at this stage :( were waiting for a Pioneer as such, will that be you? lol

maybe contact paul and ask for some prices of the rear housing i would only ever use a garrett rear housing and nothing else if u want to run a kando rear sell the garrett make a profit and buy a kando there cheap enough

hi guys,

thanks for your responses.

firslty, this turbo will not be going on an RBxx engine so there's no need to go to an A/R .82, and given the smaller GT37 52T comp wheel, it will be a more balanced combination.

i wasnt aware Paul (STT) had acces to kando/kinugawa parts.

i'll need to send him an email.

GTScotT,

it looks like i will need to be the pioneer in this sceanrio.

the fact that it's .73 interests me, given i think it'll work well with the 52T comp wheel and allow for usable mid-range torque,

also, the price is a win.

jet,

i understand your point about the genuine garrett but at $500, not sure i'll be able to sell it for a profit.

also, given that i'll be running an external wastegate, i dont i'll have any issues.

it would only be a problem if i was to go a non-genuine internally gated housing.

yeah thats true i guess u can see how you go just remember to lower the turbos overall HP giving the smaller rear housing

paul doesnt have access to kando parts from when we last spoke he just deals with garrett turbonetics and so on only the hi end brands

i guess for the price why not give it a try :) cant hurt

Jet,

not sure that i'll actually be utilising the full potential of the compressor wheel to be honest so i think the A/R .73 will be perfect for what i need.

price is my driving point right now.

not sure it's wise to pay $450-500 for a genuine garrett and then hack it (weld external gate pipe).

we can only try i guess.

i'll provide results if i end up going this way.

Any update on this, did you end up using the Kando housing? results?

Anyone else running a kando housing now on their GT or GTX3076r as i am about to get ready to put one on my R34 Gtt and am in the market for a rear housing.

    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
