Greetings!

I've registered on here as I've googled many tech questions and often, it directs me here.

North Americans tend to always just replace and buy off the shelf parts, you guys seem to do things right and have fun doing custom stuff.

I'm trying to run a Mitsubishi 16G on my RB20DET. I know the flanges for TD05's are very different to our T3 flanges.

Is there a premade flange adapter for this out there? I'm looking locally and DO NOT have access to a machine shop locally. Is there someone out here who has one made up already to use in their own car.

Thanks a lot!!

PS: I had the greatest time visiting Oz two years ago and am planning on another visit come February. I would love to meet some of you guys there and will be posting here more often!

Thanks!

Ronnie from Toronto

Ronnie, You could post this in the fabrication section and see if anyone could fab you one from decent materials. That way you know what you're getting instead of buying something off ebay that may fail. Just a thought :sick:

the TD series use a 3 bolt triangle shape flange?

the ebay link you posted is for a T3 turbo to fit on a T2x flanged manifold

Since he is from North America he might be tring to run a EVO 3 Big 16G. IF that is the case then the eBay flange will work.

We did this type of stuff for a customer earlier this year.

We machine off the Mitsubishi flange and weld on a T3x flange then machine out the 4 bolt flange off the rear and weld on a OEM 6 bolt flange. Once that is done every thing bolt on with out modifications. Same thing can also be done to GT2860Rs which you turn that in to a HKS2530.

That's right! Thanks for the reply folks! I really appreciate it!

Okay, that's good to hear that it will work.

I wonder what I'm gonna do for the outlet side.

I'm thinking that I would use the standard DSM outlet and chop it at the flange and weld my stock flange to that to connect to to the DP?

Any other ideas?

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
