.82 rear housing it is mate. You need to re-locate the power steer res and im pretty sure you have to get rid of the L pipe that comes out of the throttle body. You will also need to heat wrap the dump pipe.Thats all that i can think of atm.

Most of the changes required will be determined by the location of the flange on the manifold.

my 3040 is on a maifold that set further back to the firewall so i cannot run the outlet pipe where the ps resevoir would be so it had to go facing down then 90 bend to the font of the car ..

regardless the L pipe as mentioned will need to go

i just got my gt3540r internal gated turbo in the mail today, and found out that its a 1.06 rear housing.

does anyone have this turbo on their r33, plus if any more pics that yous have would be great.

I am changing my mind like i change my jocks.

I have made my decision final and i am gettin a custom high mount made, with a wide mouth dump, and intercooler pipes changed to miss the turbo.

This will all be down in the next 2 and a half weeks.

Also like to thank you guys with the pics you have showed me

lol bazr 33 thats fairly big expect some lag ! unless ur doin some engine work, i hav gt3076 internally gated turbo in the standard low mount position, and id rather it there for cop reasons when someone looks under my hood it still looks like a standard 25 which is good and bad but saves alot of hassle

so you got an Xr6 turbo's turbo ..

i ran a HKS gt3040 with 1.12 rear housing and poncam -- full boost at 5000rpm .. way to laggy for the street as to get on boost you have to be doing 30-40kms over the limit

someone has used this turbo before, have a search it'll be there somewhere

changing setup now, hahaha after all those posts

it will just be a hassle for me and too much stress on my stock engine.

if it was the .82 or smaller, i would of been sweet.

going something bit smaller,

still going high mount though, but just different turbo

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
