The guy I got the turbo from is willing to buy me a new shaft. I just need to know the part number for the shaft. Does anyone have any idea?

If its gonna cost me another $200 - $300 to fix, ill pay that. I cant just throw $800 away(thats what it cost me). At the time we both had no idea the wheel was damaged.

Ive been in and driven my mates r33 rb25 with gt3082 .63 on 19psi and its nothing short of fkn wicked.. pulls hard cooks tyres .. 290rwkw. Enough said.

Is it internal or externally gated? Im guessing its external? You'd have a pretty hard time contolling boost with such a tight rear hsng and piddly internal gate.

I thought you already had an external gate ready to go? Whats sort of gate is it? Get someone to weld a flange to your stock manifold as pictured on the page previous...it will work if the gate is big enough...contrary to what Mr High Horse would have you believe, seems there are plenty of people out there that have made this turbo work, including a mate of mine who had the 0.63I/W on his series RB25, made 280rwkw on 18psi, only problem was he couldnt keep boost below 18-20psi...hence my post above...go the external if youre staying with the 0.63 hsng.

Ive got a 44mm tial. The guy I bought the turbo from is helping me organise a brand new one! He also said he will get me one with a .82 rear if I like. I will go with this option and keep it internal. With a bigger housing, the gate should be able to flow enough through to keep boost constant. If not, Ill get the actuator rod locked rather than the flap welded and have a secondary manifold with a WG flange as suggested previously.

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
