i went the .82 exhaust on my rb25 and i love it. Lag is basically non existant through gear changes. full boost before 4,000rpm and strong power all the way to 7200. The .63 will be more responsive yes, but by how big a margin? Id much rather a fatter mid range and top end than be super responsive and flatten out from high mid to top. but all depends on what you want out of the setup.

You stick a bung in the turbo intake and pump it full of air man

What he said, my turbo inlet is 4 inch. So I went to bunnings got a 100mm PVC pipe end cap and about 3 inches of 100 mm pipe. Glued them together wile I was there ^^" ... Then drilled a hole and epoxied an air line hose fitting in the end cap. It was a tight fit into the front silicone but it goes on... Used a hose clamp!!! Lol... Then set the reg on the compressor to like 5 psi first. Plug it in and u can hear leaks right away.

No other blocking of anything

yeah its weird how that works.. you would think the air would just go through the valves and out the exhaust but you can get some pressure in there... i got 25psi into mine.

Aparently beanies can lead to internal bearing damage if left on and raced with. No idea how. Hpc coating increases thermal efficiency in the turbo which leads to better response. Plus if you hpc coat it silver the chicks will flock... hard. But in all seriousness when I do go a steampipe manifold ill be hpc coating the manifold and turbo housing. Looks good, doesn't get that rusted look from heat, serves a purpose.

I saw 900 degree manifold temps regularly at the track, all with a beanie on. The car has done 6 hard track days and daily driving for many years without issue.

As long as the CHRA is water cooled you should be fine.

    • @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
    • The switch part, is the switch you use to turn the lights on and off in the car.   The test I had was to determine where in the line it is, but on a quick rethink, if it's only blowing when you turn the switch on, then it's the wire from the switch, to the headlight that's got the short. Now it's a case as GTS said, of physically finding the fault. The fault could be:  metal has broken through the loom. Known as a rub through. Places to check: anywhere the wiring has been messed with in the car, particularly firewall grommets if extra cables have been passed through. Check the inner guard linings, you might be rubbing through with a wheel, particularly if the vehicle has been lowered. Also check for anywhere there could be high heat, especially if heat shields are missing. Double check any wiring at the head unit too if someone has messed with the headlight wiring to pick up a feed to dim the headlight at night. You could also just have really old cabling that is literally falling apart, though, this is more likely in Euros than in an old Nissan in my experience.
    • Yeah. I usually go by the torque specs. I forgot that Nissan recommends 1386b sealant on that thread, still can buy it on ebay actually.
