No probs as they are both T3 Flange so just bolt up, does get tight next to the block where the oil lines go but there is room to fit. We cut hole in top of manifold and welded the wastegate flange to that and mounted it there. For an all round turbo for street and strip you cant go wrong with the GT35/40 .82 exhaust outlet for mannual and 1.02 I think for Auto aplications, Brent will know exactly which one. you can even still use the factory heat sheilds Head gasket was Nissan one

oh ok,yeah i have brents brothers old set up with the wastegate allready on it,with i t3/t4 on it,but an getting a gt 35/40 .82 at the end of the month,and also 585cc injectors,microtech lt 12s ecu etc etc and am run ning 13psi at the mo but will probly crank it up to 16 of somethingfor the drags and leave it on 13 for weekend driving,thanks for the help

Just remembered we had a 15-20mm spacer block made to lower the turbo down to get a bit more clearance, was cnc cut from solid steel and used longer bolts

Cheers Kris Nah not mine, I'm working towards something like that though The factory Delco computers are very good, just needs a custom tune which I had done by Torque Performance ($1,000 from memory) The only things other than the charger kit (and cooler if you want) are; Bosch 044 external pump, Bosch 42lb injectors, rising rate fuel reg, custom tune, 3" exhaust and headers. On 6psi mine made 250rwkw. 10psi and a cooler should make 300rwkw, all on a stock motor with stock intake manifold You'll also need to think about the auto box Quote: Originally Posted by NZ_BT1 He wont have that because its not true and it would be telling lies Show me an RB30 that makes 250rwkw on 6psi Quote: Originally Posted by NEM SS Was thinking of making it a message plate Peter Brock RIPV8S King of the mountain Any ideas Guys I reckon go for something new. RIPV8S is suits a quick 4/6 like your old car. Personally I don't like message plates much either Or RB26 your VS Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah i have already been through a couple of gearboxs,and am going to get a lsd built,yeah if i get close to 300rwkw il be a very happy man, year i have seen that a few guys have made spacer plated to lower the turbo,would it of fitted without the spacer and you must of used 2 gaskets,1 between the turbo and spacer and 1 between the spacer and manifold(sorry to clog up this thread with my shi* guys)

I find it very informative as I'm keen on the GT 35/40 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah i thought i would go with the tested and proven option as it works really well,did you have the .86 turbine housing?and you used steel gaskets note the composite gaskets,i usually get the steel gaskets from turbochargers nz,they are the only gaskets to use.cheers for the info kris

sounds like fun lol,at the moment im getting boost at about 3750

Just scored a cat back HSV Exhaust for the VS and got it for free put it on this afternoon sounds just right, Friends are the greatest.

Nice, but it's going to be too small for forced induction
