You will most likely need to run a spacer on the T3 flange to move the turbo away from fouling the manifold (but not too much to where it fouls against the strut tower).

The external wastegate situation will need to be addressed with either running an external wastegate or an internal wastegate adapter to the rear of the turbo.

Or you can go with a top mount manifold and save yourself the headache of modifying the factory piece.

Your new turbo probably doesn't have coolant lines so you'll need to block off the coolant passages from the block and intake manifold that originally flowed to the factory turbo.

Yeah i already feel the hole growing in the pocket. basically i saw this fc tuning video of a gtt 34 running 486horses and i was basically sold on this turbo.

so its kinda one of those turbos no many people have had to install and i want to go with different from the hks or the gt garrets.

i basically wanna make it easier for my mechanic in regards to supplying him all the parts.

The parts and install cost is going to be more than triple the cost of the turbo.

Might want to do a bit of research next time.

You can either high mount or mod stock manifold to keep it low as above a spacer will prob be needed. Studs and nuts will be needed as they will likely break when manifold is removed oh and yes it's a costly excersise if you don't do it yourself

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
