yeah flange will be the hardest part i know :(

front /dump is 3 inch atm into 4 inch cat then 3.5 after cat, i was thinking 3.5 inch front pipe to cat, dump can be 3 inch it shouldn't matter whatevers easiest.

And cheers Dave I will get back to you if we get stuck on that

IMO you should go for gold. That housing is going to be awesome and your only setback is the old tech compressor.

Meaning if its not good rip it off and have a turbo place install a proper GT37 52T compressor and the surge ported cover. Bolt it all back on and WHAMO, highly speculated ultimate option!

Hell if you dont like that I'll buy the whole turbo off you!

Ok for the poor souls that rememebr this thread

well..finally got around to pulling that turbo out and now im even more confused..

Now we thought it was a 21u, because we could see a 'u' but not much else as it was fitted to the car.

It has a tag on it that has _4u on it, not 21u at all..the dash is a letter or number I cant quite read..but it definately isnt an original nissan housing of any description i know of..just looking at it you can see its physically bigger..Anyone have any ideas on this...

anyway its probably not as restrictive as i originally thought..so unless its just the old 7 blade comp wheel that is no good, I have other issues with my car all together.. :unsure:

tempted to throw a proper 3076 comp wheel on it now just to see what happens..

To assist people wanting answers using the search function.

For those that can only look at one turbo when wanting to know the differences the markings on the housing will reveal all.

The R32 turbo has 16v stamped on the compressor cover and is the only comprssor cover used on RB20 turbo's.

The R32 turbo most of the time has the smaller 16v or 04u stamped turbine housing. (some 1993 models have the RB25 21u turbine housing)

The R33 turbo has 45v1, 45v2, 45v3, 45v4 stamped on the compressor cover.

The R33 turbo has 21u stamped on the turbine housing.

The R33 turbo as stated above is larger.

Searched 04U..

Get that L2 on there before I come to Vic :domokun:

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
