HI SAUers,

I have an R33 with a GT3076R on stock manifold with external gate welded to the exhaust housing.

It was worked well but I am now upgrading the manifold to a high mount 6boost because my studs/nuts keep coming loose and I've had enough.

I need to buy a new rear housing when I upgrade manifolds because the way the gate is welded to the current one means it wont fit.

I have found a fair priced used 6boost manifold but it is a T4 twin entry (not twin scroll as it has only one gate provision?)

QUESTION:

Can I buy a T4 flanged rear housing that will fit the GT3076 in .82?

Will it give me any benefit over the T3 flanged housing?

Should I just buy a brand new T3 flanged 6Boost and get a T3 flanged housing.

 

Thanks all

Chris

If you're completely satisfied with the GT3076 (and there's still a lot to like about that turbo on a RB25), then stay T3 high mount and be happy. 

Bear in mind there's a fair bit of fab work to get the piping right and even the gate in correct position.  So it'd be good if future turbo changes allow for direct bolt in spec changes (eg move to a GT35 or something within reason).

I'd suggest you do the homework on alternative brands in the same price or performance range too.  You "might" move away from the Honeywell gear given what the cost of a bare housing is and the funds you could recoup on sale of existing gear.

Besides the higher priced options (EFR, PTE), you'd be mad not to look at BW S256/257, Masterpower/Borghetti MPR54/59, and the Kinugawa range.  There are T4 options amongst those, and the dimensions of a T4 hole may allow for a nicer transition in the collector area of a high mount. 

I don't think T3 single vs T4 single will make much difference to overall performance given your current turbo is going to top out around the 300rwkW mark.  A proper split pulse setup probably will make a difference, at a cost.  

Bottom line for me, you've got to price up the alternative setups and gauge what's most attractive and within your budget.  They are all going to perform differently but no dogs there.  

Garrett preferred? - T3 single scroll, single gate.  Easy move to a GTX3071 or GTX3576 in future.  Don't look back.

Bigger budget? - T4 split pulse, EFR 7670 IW. 

Bigger again? - T4 split pulse, EFR or PTE twin external gates.

Smaller budget? - T4 split pulse, BW S257SXE twin external gates

Smaller again and open mind? - T4 single scroll, BW S257SXE or Masterpower MPR545, single gate.  

Smallest budget, still open minded? T3 single scroll, Kinugawa TDO6-25G, single gate.

Thanks heaps for taking the time to reply Dale- i very much appreciate it.

I decided to keep the 3076 as it meets my needs for now.

I have ordered a brand new 6boost with a single entry T3/ ext gate and got a new T3 / V band rear housing to go with it.

I'm interested to see if it increases power/response but will be happy with just an increase in reliability and decrease in likelihood of turbo falling off the manifold!!

Cheers!!

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
