gt30r fit with a audspeed manifold

Does anyone know if I will have problems with that turbo and manifold.

well, why don't you ask the man that sells them. He sells both that turbo and his manifold. I'm sure an e-mail to him wouldn't hurt. You probably would get a better answer from Ruben than anyone on here. not trying to be harsh, just suggesting an idea.

I already emailed him and he said it should fit.

That guy dosnt sell a kit with that turbo.He sells it with a gt28 or something even smaller like that.

I was told from bemmerforums that someone from here had a fitment problem with that manifold and I searched and could not find out what turbo he was using with his audspeed manifold.

I tryed pming him and no answer yet.

don't plan on doing turbo and not having to modify things to fit it in. Your engine mount is most likely always going to need to be modified or changed because of the inlet on the turbo. Especially on a GT30R with it's 4" inlet

I had to grind off a little knob off of my block to fit my t3/t04e and it still hits my block, but it fits on the manifold. I think the GT30r is a little larger. If your exhaust side is bigger it may put the compressor further from the engine but, if the gt30r has a small exhaust and big compressor like mine, then it may not fit.

E36, how's the car run with your turbo now?

E36Bmer · #7 (**permalink**) 06-02-2005, 07:00 AM

not very well. It runs fine before 4000rpm or so but then I max out the maf at around 4500 rpm at 4psi on my turbo so I am waiting on my smt6 to come in so i can tune it for more boost. I think I am going to just swap my maf for a map with the piggy back. I just changed my plugs last night to some ngk iridiums 7 temp and it runs smoother. But, that was probably b/c one of my previous plugs was fouled.

here's a video of my car in action, or what little action I will put it through until I get my smt6.

Did you do a custom setup with that manifold or did the guy sell you a kit.

E36Bmer · #9 (**permalink**) 06-02-2005, 07:24 AM

I did a custom setup. I pieced together the parts and made my own piping by ordering aluminum mandrel bends and cuting them and using silicone couplers and transitions.

sounds a lot like mine did when i was running just the downpipe. my turbo was loud like that too, but as soon as I got my exhaust made the turbo was almost inexistent with sound. looks good though.

Since the manifold is for a GT28R, it will not fit. The Gt28R uses a T25 style flange for the turbine housing. The GT30R is in the T3 family of flanges on the turbine housing. They are different flanges.

Only way it would work is if the manifold had drill holes and a flange that works for both. That is possible...some Honda manifolds do that to fit either T3 or T4 turbine housings!

Were did you get the piping...?

I ordered the bends from here.

What all parts do you have on the car? Who is building the kit and doing the work? Where do you have the MAF located? What excatly happens after 4k rpm? How long have you been working on the car?

I have a t3/to4e 60trim on the car. and 30# injectors. I built the kit and did all of the work. I had the maf in a draw-through setup but, I was having trouble routing the BOV so I am running it pull-through now through the stock maf. It didn't seem to make much of a difference since I am using a maf voltage clamp with my piggyback. But, I am trying to get ahold of a GM or Ford MAF and make one of those work for a blow-through setup and use it with some 36# injectors that I have for my 8psi setup. I was just maxing out my maf around 4K rpm, but that isn't a factor now b/c I am using my piggyback to limit the voltage. I've been working on it for a month or so now, but I don't get much work on my car done between work and having fun. I am just having laptop connection to my piggyback issues right now.
