Rotate your turbo housing. Its facing the wrong way. Just loosen the 4 or 6 screws holding the exhaust housing to the turbo core and rotate it 180 degrees then tighten it up. You might want to make sure you do it right though, ie your oil feed is at the top of the turbo still, and draining out the bottom. You DO NOT want water at the top. It will only fit one way so do it right coz its a bitch in the arse to keep adjusting. I got my old gt3071r the right way around first go

Pics to explain better no matter how much you rotate the exhaust housing the dump should face down on a stock manifold when you turn the housings it rotates the core you want the oil drain facing straight down

yep vlt orientation is completely different to rb20/25. mixxing manifolds and turbos means a custom dump, not worth it when you can get a stock turbo to suit for ~$300 in good condition

rotating the exhaust housing will never change which way the dump faces....

I had it wrong lol I thought he meant nothing was lining up, the we setup. When he said upside down I assumed the t3 flange was out along with the dump.

VL dump wont fit, as vl manifold faces straight down, wheras rb25 manifold faces sideways. PS ive had a highflowed vl turbo on a 25/30 and it sucked, just get a real turbo

mine is hi-flowed too. is it really that bad? was the power similar to a std rb30et?

It could have been rotated by someone.

Well I was wrong too, as Adriano confirmed the VL manifold points down, but what did you mean by being rotated? Have a hard think about it for a second.......... You cant rotate flanges on a cast iron housing mate... lol

The VL rear housing is complete with dump.. The wastegate flapper is part of the dump so its also hard to change that.

My bad tho Adriano, I thought I remember a VLT manifold looking like a RBDET one, but it has been a few years since I toyed with one of those!

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
