.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

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
