Yeah a gt35r is pretty much the biggest low-mount you can go without any serious mods. My bro's r33 had one as a low-mount with a genuine hks exhaust mani. His car made just under 500rwhp, standard internals, just bolt-ons and tuning.

He drove it daily for 1.5years, then sold it to a guy in QLD who used it as a track car and the car was sold about 2years ago with the same engine etc etc. The whole engine is still fine, hasn't blow up after 6years of daily abuse :)

It's either exaggerated figures, fly HP or not standard internals

I'm making 480rwhp on a dyno dynamics with a stock motor... Are you positively annoyed friend??

has it has that power for 6 years been abused daily and been used as a track car?

I have no doubt it can make the power its the life span with that power that i am questioning, but if it is all 100% then im happy, im shooting for a bit over 400rwhp and dont expect the engine to last long, if it lasts 6 years i will be very happy, not expecting it tho.

Good mechanic plus a good tuner engine will last a long time. Then there is luck:) I got a forged 33 with all supporting mods including gt35 and tial gate done a hard 40,000klms and still goin very strong! Tuned to 400 on 18psi, safe tune. Everyones engine is different!

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
