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.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
