Hi guys helping a mate out with a conversion, we are putting a 5 speed rb20det in his nasp auto r32, now the motor and gearbox went in fine but the gearbox cross member is about 1inch out on both sides, has anyone else experienced this problem?

Id say that would be due to the auto and manual cross members being different however i dont know if this is correct. Can you get a hold of a cross member of a r32 running a manual trans?

We tried both cross members from auto and manual, they are the same and both dont line up??

here is a couple of things i have heard about you can do. you need a crossmember from a gxi skyline or s13. or just slot the mounts on the crossmember. or turn the mount around and drill new holes

after converting my cefiro i learnt that there are three types of manual nissan crossmembers, marked with either A, B or C. A & B has forward arching mounts, C has backward. I needed a C for my car, going from auto to manual. Nissan used different floorpans between the auto & manual versions of their cars, so a manual crossmember from the same car might not fit. Hope this helps :P

      Compressor flow comparison table

      On the compressor side it looks like the best, if your head setup will support doing 100-110lb/min at 30psi-ish boost.   The G45-1350 compressor looks ideally better if you need closer to 40psi for it, given both the G40 1150 and G42 1200 look like they'll be around the 100lb/min mark at 35psi and dropping from there.   Bear in mind the turbine sides are all different between those three turbos, so that COULD be an influencing factor for how they all perform in the real world as well.   Not sure if you've made a conscious decision to only look at Garrett or not, but at least on paper the XRE7169S matches or beats those other three at everything from 30psi up and just going from wheel size alone likely to be at least as responsive as the G40 1150 and seem to behave closer to G42s in terms of turbine flow.

      @Lithium  looking for a turbo for my Rb30. Want to make sure I understand this correctly.   If I want to stay 40psi or under my best choice of these 3 is actually the smaller G40-1150 ?

      Massive ups for MTHire also. Could not have done the subframe bushings job without hiring the tool from them. Process was super easy and cost me around 25% of the cost of the tool. If you need a one-time tool to do something, check them out. (Paid for the rental myself, no sponsorship here.)

      I'd suggest calling Unigroup, they have a lot of experience with these, access to reliable fabricators etc. Of course it will cost but at least you can trust what they tell you
