Ah there it is:D thats a pretty small wastegate, but with such a huge exhaust housing it would probably be fine, so where are you going to fit it on the stock manifold? Or are you going to set it up like Rob77?

With a turbine housing that big, it would probably be a really good idea to get a killer manifold and some cams in there or you probably wont start boosting till 4th gear:p its a bloody monster!

Yeah i said to him you are gonna run into all sorts of dramas...but yeah he said he wants to use the standard manifold and different cams. It might be a good idea to mount the wastegate on the turbo. But i don't know what he had planned with regard to that. I'll have to find out.

why have such a huge turbo with such a crap manifold, get a tuned one and you will notice the difference, like running 21psi with stock manifold and then drop to 16psi with a tuned one is a big difference especially when u consider that 5 psi was going back onto the valves, u can run more timing and get more power with less boost. turbo looks great otherwise.

Dosent matter what manifold that turbo would not suit a rb20, mine is on the limit size wise and is only the smallest type to4e, it makes fullboost at 4300rpm so yours would be 5000+, not good with little of boost.

Also the turbo would be a tight fit in the engine bay bolted to the stock manifold, so check that as well.

What other mods has he done to the car, in a few months i will be selling my kit, trbo, manifold, wastegate, cooler, pipes, chipped computer, z32 afm, everything to get 230rwkw and 12sec qtr times, for a lot less than would cost to do new.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
