Hey ppl,

Ok heres the scenario, I took the turbo's and all associated pipework connections off my engine on my R32 GTR to get completely rebuilt, steel wheels etc. That has been done so now its time to put everything back together. First question, is the exhaust manifolds different front to rear? I know the dump pipes are different. Without knowing if the manifold/turbo combination is apparent I bolted both turbo's up to manifolds and dumps. Installed rear turbo then front and all associated oil/coolant lines, then the exh front pipes. When it came time to install the intercooler pipe between turbo's (bit with TWIN TURBO on it) they dont meet up properly. As in the pipe at the rear is about 20mm too close to the rocker cover as in bends up from the turbo. Second question, are they turbo's aligned differently? My thoughts are, i've put the wrong turbo on front to rear, or ive put the wrong exh manifold on front to rear or Both. The other is the rear turbo compressor housing was not put back together in the same alignment. When looking at it from the front of the car, the rear intercooler outlet on the turbo is about 10mm closer to the block than the front. Thus making the pipework not meet up. SO, does any one know if the turbo's and manifolds are different front to rear. The manifolds do have markings on the top of them. Any help or input is greatly appreciated..

5 mins spent marking things is 5 hrs work saved

I know :D i marked everything else! dump pipes, inlet, i/cooler, oil/coolant lines but forget or just thought the turbos and manifolds were identical. Oh well, better get undoing everything again. Hope the new tomei exh manifold gasket didn't get too 'crushed' so I can use it again..

manifolds are different, turbos are the same.

R33 GTR manifolds are exactly the same as each other.....are you sure the R32's are different ?

I had exactly this problem on my GTR turbos after re-building them. I just needed to re-allign the compressor housings slightly in relation to each other.

Problem was fixed, rear turbo compressor housing just had to be rotated around a little..A lot of effort taking them damn turbo's off again dammit :) oh well..the cars back going again after a few months which im very very happy for.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
