Ok after reading countless threads and online material, I thought I would post it up due to getting many conflicting pieces of information:

I am deciding between a Kando T67-25G/ TD06-20g or Precision 5558/ 5557 for my R34 RB25 -low-mount ext gate setup, stock exhaust manifold and cooler pipes over engine from drivers side/past fan and over the cam covers.

The Kando thread has numerous posts indicating the T67-25G can NOT be low-mounted, even with a thick ass spacer. But then a dude on here has told me it CAN be. Someone else suggested to try a smaller 3" comp cover for the T67 (would make less power I know).

Second option is a Precision CEA 5557 or 5558, can THIS be low-mounted as above? I would want to know if its physically smaller or bigger than the Kando T67?

Has anyone actually succeeded in low mounting these on their RB25? Please let me know. The T67 is my gun choice. Top-mount manifold and re-routing/shortening the cooler pipes is for the next stage as it adds more cost - relocating the BOV, sensors and hoses that come with the layout. These are on the way of a high-mount turbo - see pic of what my setup is like.

If these two options above are not possible then I have to settle with the smaller Kando TD06-20G 10cm. Please don't ask me to get a HG or a GT3076R, as these two are not on my list. I'm after brutal delivery / around 280-300ish rwkw as opposed to smooth and linear.

I have two turbos to eliminate from my list of three and need your help ;)

Did you get a dyno printout ? Any reason why you chose the 5558 over the 5858 ?

old version/new version i think, back when i first saw ron's results i hadnt come across the 5858 in my research, it only popped up a couple of months ago

No, a 5858 was available at the time. Ron has asked me about which to get, I believe he settled on the 5558 as it was tried and tested by another member.

IIRC his gate it off the turbine housing. It is definitely a JB, I sent him the link to buy the oil line lol

For the love of god stay away from the smaller or all the precision turbo's.... I've been there and they fell on they're face.

Best thing I ever did was go to a trust t67 10cm.

I'm not sure you can go low mount a t67 but nothing is impossible. Personally I would take a good hard look at a t3 rear, 8cm td06 with a custom core from hypergear.

... my 5557 and 5558 with two different wastegate set ups were useless compared to a plain old td turbo.

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
