what exhaust housing did you pick and why?

I didnt realise that this was an interview... I will post the turbo specs soon.

Bump also wondering if your using the stock exhaust manifold?

Yes I am using the standard manifold.

Do you like long walks on the beach and candle lit dinners?

Do you make love on a bed of frangipanis?

Update:

Parts have arrived and I have spent quite a few days in the garage putting them all in :)

I love reading this on the side of the box (usually means there is something nice and shiny inside).

Wastegate actuator mount and connector pin had to be modified to get them into the right position.

All parts now installed, the next step is to make up a custom intake pipe for the turbo, replace all oils and fluids and then a dyno tune!

More pics to come (sorry Michele, still no Frangipani stickers) :P

Stay tuned.

Im hoping to have it running in the next 2 weeks, but it wont be driving on the road until its tuned and I have had a few other "goodies" installed :P

It should all be finished by the end of this month... Fingers crossed :P

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
