Hey,

got a highflow vl turb with t3 or t4 cartridge and some kind of modified rear housing.

i ran into dramas dummy fitting. ill let pictures explain.

as you can see straight up we have an issue with the dump pipe off on an angle due to the vl turbo mounted horizontal instead of vertical.

now im wondering without making a new dump or modifying the dump can i get it to fit properly.

as you can see if i hold it like so all the oil / water lines will line up, but if i modify the dump and bolt it straight up the oil return is horizontal not vertical.

any ideas... its asif i need to make some kind of t3-t3 90deg piece or if a rb30 turbo manifold would fit im not sure on stud pattern.

any suggestions would be kool, otherwise ill whack the stocker back on.

thanks,

dave

sorry i read it wrong...

have u tried rotating the exhaust housing?

No matter how u rotate the exhaust housing the dump will still stay on the same angle. might need to fabricate a new dump to suit mate.

for the oil feed it should be vertical so just rotate the 2 housings so that you get it in that position then get some braided oil and water lines, you then may have to rotate the turbine housing so you can get your pipe on your snail.

The most costly will be getting a dump pipe made to suit your turbo. probably around $400-$600 from your common exhaust shop.

im gona mod the dump myself. but ill try rotating it all. i knew you could rotate it but i was looking at the dump all the time going wtf !!!. but ill see how i go and then hopefully be able to mod the dump.

as i said this came off a R33 so i have no idea how the dump pipe worked out?

it would have had a custom manifold, possibly a high mount :) thats why the dumps like that

custom maybe, highmount no the dump would then be pointing at the bonnet. if a rb30 turbo manifold fits a rb25 thats what it would of been mounted on.

thanks for help, its on now, and im gona mod the dump on the weekend. factory lines fit, just needed the braided oil line. :down: the first time the rear housing didnt spin, but a whack with a rubber mallet fixed that. :)

if u put a peace inbetween the ex housing and the mani, the turbo would most likly hit the engine mounts when u put it in a car. Mod the dump, should b pritty easy, just cut the pipe off the flange, panel beat it to fit the right way and weld her up : D

if a rb30 turbo manifold fits a rb25 thats what it would of been mounted on.

nope. probs something like a hks cast low mount mani that has the flange facing down.

most important thing is to make sure the oil feed is at the top and drain is at the bottom, as close to vertical as possible

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
