I have acquired an RX7 / VL turbo hybrid that I haven't been able to find a heap of info on. Apparently it has been machined to fit a t04e wheel and supposedly came off an rb20 that made 330kw at the wheels. The turbo also came with a china stainless high mount and a 35mm tial waste gate.

I was planning to modify the stock exhaust mani on my r33 and fit it with the external gate setup but just hoping someone could answer some questions before I waste my time trying to fit it as it doesn't seem to be an easy bolt on.


- Does the VL t3 bolt up to the r33 exhaust mani?

- If so Would the stock R33 turbo lines fit the VL turbo?

- Is it worth trying to modify a stock VL dump pipe ie too restrictive?

- Is the power figure I was quoted with realistic for this type of turbo?


From what I can gather at the very least I will need to buy a VL dump pipe and possibly oil and water lines if the stock ones wont fit. I am happy to do some fab work as I have access to all the stuff needed but it might end up being too much hassle than its worth.

Does not fit Skyline. Water lines are the same but oil feeding is different.

Send in your factory Skyline and get that high flowed, It will probably cost less then marking around of fitting that VL turbo and makes more power internally gated.

If you really want to use that particular turbo, Bring it in with a OP6 turbine housing. We can machine out that rear to suit your CHRA unit. Once that is done it will fit pretty ok.
