Sounds like you bought an SR20 turbo?

Does it have a 5 bolt dump pipe or 6 bolt dump pipe?

Also what you referred to as the compressor inlet is actually the compressor outlet. It has 3 bolts and that's where the air comes out. The part where you can see the compressor blades is the inlet

It appears to be an RB20s turbocharger , the compressor wheel and housing is smaller than an RB25s ones and the turbine housing will be slightly smaller internally. The real give away is the "Nissan" etc cast into the 25s comp housing . Its in bolder lettering and also 25 turbochargers have an anti reversion groove machined into the compressor housings inlet boss .

The last thing as you found is that the adapter that bolts to the comp housings outlet is larger on the common RB25/VG30 comp housing casting . The threaded holes are also on a slightly larger pitch circle diameter than the RB20 type compressor housing .

You need to change it for an RB25 one .

For some reason I thought some VG30 turbos came with "16V 12" on the comp cover, could be wrong - long time since I worried about these units. Compare the turbine housings on the R33 turbo and the 16V turbo...

Single Z32 ceramic BB turbos used the same compressor housing as most RB25 ones though they were profile machined for a slightly smaller compressor wheel . They won't go over a std 25 compressor and I know because I have both and tried it . The housings side by side are dimensionally the same .

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
