It won't be a 76mm turbine.

If it is a 56mm or 60mm turbine with a 71mm compressor then it will be a GT3071 hybrid. So about 425 to 450hp.

GCG have machined a massive turbine into the back, (you could be right with 71mm) which is why I didn't go for one as the rear housing can't handle the flow that size wheel requires.

I dont think you could go much larger than 60mm compressor wheel either without breaking through the compressor housing. Mine is 56mm.

I would say that Craig's comp is 71mm or 76mm

That's what I wanted to hear Glenn, thanks for the impressions of the turbo :D

Can I ask why your mechanic decided to go with ~60mm tube for the suction pipe instead of staying with 76mm all the way through?

I rang the mechanic earlier today, and his thoughts were that going bigger than 60mm would make a very small difference if any. He said something about the pipe being the same size as the intakes on GTRs.

I also enquired about getting other pipes made up. He said a rough quote would be about $500 to make and fit. He's going to talk to someone later this week about getting a run of exact duplicates made from mine to see if a run of 10 would be possible if the demand is there. I'll let everyone know when I find out about that.

Don't the GTR's have two intake pipes that size?

Cam, if Craigs compressor is really that big and he's running the standard intake, that could be the source of his backfire problems...

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
