Dion and Shane at Fabtech Global (based in Newcastle, NSW) made the manifold. Hypertune HypEx347 low mount to fit large frame EFR with 2x 40mm Turbosmart compgates. I only have pictures of it in early stages of being made, will try and find some of it completed.

It costs an absolute arm and a leg but the quality is absolutely amazing.

Looked at doing it with my 8374 seemed impractical. That was in a R32, looks like above is a R31? and it has a massively larger amount of room. 
Due to constraints of strut tower we couldn't get the turbo anywhere near low or back enough to make it work, at least without ditching AC

 

what are you doing for compressor inlet and exit? looks like its close to the AC exit connection for the inlet and the strut tower for the compressor outlet

Above is RB20 in S15. Compressor exit isnt an issue, inlet isn't either. Turbo isn't close to the AC lines but the 2x screamer pipes are. I have retained a full AC system (and ABS) easily. Yes it's tight but nothing is too tight.

Above is the GTX3582 and below is the 7670. The 8374 is going to be bigger.

The 3582 fit barely well enough on a damn stock RB25 manifold that it was too close for comfort to pretty much everything (hence going high mount, after!)

Without knowing what car it is it all comes down to how much room you have and how much bigger it is than a R32/33/34 because its complete guesses either way.

At least on a 34, a stock manifold which is about as compact as it gets was struggling with a 3582.

Get the G Series, if ONLY for its compact size.

Thanks al it for the pictures. Is that an 8374 or 7670? They both share the same frame, but the 8374 has the larger compressor. 

I've had the HKS TA34 kit which the manifold and gate was part of the assembly. It was a very tight fit. and anything bigger then the .60 comp housing with a 3 inches inducer would hit the engine mount. So you are limited to what ever fits a 3 inches inducer housing could contain, which it would still fit an GTX3582 Gen 2, ATR45SS or something in similar size that makes the 500rwkws range on E85 fuel.

Wow! 9174 on m RB20, is that a mock up engine or a crazy built engine? Great info, thanks again 
As I said before it currently has a 6758 on the RB20 and will be running that. But the manifold will bolt straight on to an RB25/26 head and still fit with an 8374/9180 for when I go 30 bottom end.

Did you try shaping or cutting back the mount at all Stao?  I had to do that for mine, just took [from memory] around 10 to 15mm off the leading corner.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
