Adam,

A Borg Warner EFR8374 matches most of your requirements. Rated up to 800HP (79lbs/min compressor) and capable of well over 400kW at the rear wheels on E85. Available in 0.83 A/R T3 internal WG.

Garrett's GTX3582 is available in a T3 twin scroll but only external WG. However they do have a T3 0.82 internally gated turbine housing. It will produce less power than the EFR8374 but probably provide slightly better response.

Here's a back to back comparison between the smaller Borg Warner EFR7670 with a T3 0.83 vs. a Garrett GTX3582 T3 0.82 on a 2008 model STi running pump fuel with 50/50 water methanol injection:

Opt for the 400kW car... you know you want to :yes:

There are other options that will meet 'most' of your requirements. But not many available with an off-the-shelf T3 internally gated exhaust housing.

Precision Turbo (Shaun is familiar with PT stuff) PT6062 CEA GEN2 (rated up to 750HP) is available with a T3 5-bolt housing which could be set-up to run internal WG. A little bit of stuffing about though.

Forced Performance have their new Xona Rotor range, which is basically their previous FP comp/turbine wheels with a new CHRA. But no off-the-shelf IWG option.

If you switch to external gate your options increase significantly.

6262, comes in a ford 1.06 in gate housing option ..which means a 6062 should fit aswell....

or people get them machined into the ford housing..so im guessing you could machine it into a .82 3582 in gate housing..?

cheers

Stock manifold will be a choking point, you need the motor to breathe.

If you want stock manifold, get a fabricator to run twin gates off it.. grouping cylinders 1~3 together and 4~6 together.. the factory manifold surprisingly is "nearly" twin scroll, bar that little notch.

OR use a Havoc Fabrication modded manifold which merges each of the pulses into 1x gate. I would expect at least a 45mm or 50mm gate off it.

GTX3582 would be perfect, especially with that 3.0L pushing it along.. heck even a GTX3576 would be perfect.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
