I have had a search but not uncovered any hard information;

What is the largest frame turbocharger that will fit on the standard RB25 manifold and not hit the strut tower/ frame rail?

I know people have fitted a GT3076 with a 10mm spacer and there is clearance, but how about GT35 etc.

I appreciate that most people wont run the std manifold on large-frame turbos as the stock unit becomes restrictive, but any info would be great

Cheers

* EDIT: I probably should clarify so I dont sound like an idiot-

I have a Holset HX35 (trying to keep it under wraps until I have it all together) and Im trying to work out (without test fitting- lazy) how much room, if any, I am going to have.

From what I can gather, the HX35 comp housing is bigger than a GT30 size, and Im a little worried about it.

All of the other Holset applications I have seen have been in R32's/ RB30s or on high mount manifolds.

Cheers

GT35 is the same size as a GT30 in terms of frame.

I think a few people have tested the stock manifold useless after about 300rwkw though, which isn't even near GT35 territory anyway so no real point in many ways.

There are a couple of options but as Nismoid said pointless if the manifold can't pass enough exhaust gas to make it worth the while .

Two that spring to mind are the T04Z with a T3 flanged T4 turbine housing or a T3 flanged version of the GT37xxR turbos Garrett sell to the "deesel ute mate /aircraft carriers in the US market - think GMC/ Dodge Cummins Ram/Ford F111 .

Both the T04Z and the GT37 BB turbos are the larger BB "frame" or shaft/center section units . Probably need at least a HKS cast low mount manifold to even start to flow well enough .

Resurrecting this thread- I bolted the turbo to a manifold on the weekend to see how much spacing out it would require...

It just looks far too big to fit down in the stock location... Does anyone know the diameter of a GT30 comp housing??

What you think, will it blend? (sorry, fit...)

Any thing fits a .70 comp and 1.0 turbine with a 12mm spacer will do the job. But fitting up an internal wastegate and setup its bracket to operate without hitting any thing is very difficult.

any luck with this? i am looking to do the same, which means plans have been on hold till i find out if it fits. have you tried positioning it in the engine bay yet? what kind of clearances are you getting (if any?). any guidance would be much appreciated. cheers, Daniel

So a .7 ar GT60 comp housings will fit?

I dont think so

LOL @ above. Le sigh, strippey horse I know your pain.

GT3582R .70AR = Centre of turbo to centre of outlet = 76.2mm

GTX4202R .60AR = Centre of turbo to centre of outlet = 108mm

AR = Aspect Ratio, not fking cm2

but .7 is bigger than .6 :blink:

as already said its pointless running anything bigger than a gt3076 on a standard manifold as it becomes a massive restriction above ~280rwkw

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
