Cos I'm a mad detective I am going to say spark issues. (He is chasing coils)

Gauge on the reg is fine. Scotty would be referring to setups using stock regs.

Ok. Intermittent problems totally suck. The two things I would be looking at are the afm and the cas. Starting with the afm clean it, Google how to. You don't want to be buying parts at random, so ideally you could try a borrow a known working one before buying your own.

Why not put a pressure gauge on? Then you will see the pressure drop, if there is one.

That's what I have. Hypergear should be able to machine a hkusing to suit your turbo.

Hmm. I think you are right. It would bolt on though!

I might be a able to split my .82 internal gate garret rear and dump pipe and actautor if the turbo doesnt sell complete. That would do what you want.

I assume no insurance?

The other problem with using the glass rb20 box is the extra weight of the car. So its good you got the rb20 cheap. But putting the 20 box in is really the troublesome thing, in that it creates more work for a box that will just break. (The rb20 will just be slow, so no harm done, but the box is weak and will likely break) How long would you have to wait it get the cash to buy an r33 box? During that time you could drop the engine in and get it running(just the engine, so whatever rewiring is required) Then box simply bolts in and you can chirp second and make whooshing noises past bus stops all day.

Cam talk rules. Can go on forever and get nowhere fast. The one difference with double overhead cams is that overlap can be adjusted. So perhaps an aggressive na cam can be dialled back in to something more sensible with the turbo.

As per above.no way would a quote on repair based on that photo be accurate anyway. Sorry about your crash.

It's either standard or not. Not pretty much standard . Time and time again people say their cars standard, and a few pages in we find out there's something not standard about it that causes the issue. I'm not being a dick. Are there any mods?

Do you have an atmo bov?

You are running a different ecu right? Get ls coils. They are heaps cheap..increase dwell to 4 ms.

Pretty sure I never said you were retarded. I have come up with heaps of retarded ideas . Varying levels of retardedness. We all have retarded ideas.

Sorry I have come across rude. If putting that engine in makes you happy go for it.

Heaps of money in mig welders but no money for a shell or decent engine? Cool. Anyway you know your answer. The tails haft will need changing. So either shorten it or lengthen it when you do the conversion. You can do it. You told us.

Make your own rubber mounts?

Just do it. You know everything anyway.

Corrosion isn't an issue. Can't tell if the bearings are fine via photos.

Why bother? Walbro in tank pump would be the sensible option. The surge tank is a waste of time and money in your case.

And Its not my opinion. It's fact. I didn't dream it up.

K. Good luck man. I assume you are using the inferior rb20 box as well? As using the stronger r33 box would actually fit (it comes in the car) and be stronger. Sounds rad. I've changed my mind. Now you've mentioned a different turbo a laggy rb20 in a boat would rule.

Sort that out. That's critical. The O2 sensor is easily left out.

You running a map ecu? Air temp is crucial to the tune.
