If you are asking that sort of question my advice is dont do it... Knowledge is the key with this level of modification unless you have a big bank account, in which case you just go give the car to a shop and hand over 10-15K and they will sort it out for you!

^ really? I thought it was quite easy and not necessarily expensive at all.

Depends if you do it properly or half assed, depends if you buy decent gear or ebay spec garbage... Its a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" type question given there is no info to go off

Haha I actually thought it wasn't a very expensive task, I'll just stick with the low mount, could someone recommend and decent turbo for 330hp, car currently makes 280hp already have upgraded intercooler, splitfire coilpacks and larger fuel pump but still standard ecu

High flowed factory R34 turbo.

You mean the factory turbo? What about something a bit newer like a xr6t turbo?

You won't need to. Highflowing the factory turbo will yield a lot more performance and it's fairly straight forward to remove the turbo and bolt it back in.

With other turbos, you'll have to worry about piping, fitment etc.

Yep, depending on which XR6 turbo you will be going too big anyway and will need all the supporting ECU and fuel mods, custom pipework etc.... They are just a 30r or 35r anyway i think from memory!

34gtt what path did you go down since we own the same car :)

The car was high flow low mount when i got it, was quite dissapointing really.... Was laggy and not making the power to make the car exciting, as for the rest of the path... Click the link in my sig and siphon through 60 pages of dribble to see what happened next lol

Haha rightio just looking for a simple set up cause I eventually wanna skid this car every now and again.

Hyper gear ss1pu, Fuel pump, injectors, full exhaust, FMIC, coil packs and a decent ECU. If your engine is in good nick it will make 375 - 400hp all day every day on those mods...Mine does.

Hi guys

Sorry to hi jack this but Im about to change my turbo to a GTX3076R. Going to be running an external gate which means I have to change my exhaust manifold.

Everyone seems to sell high mount manifolds, can get one for around $500 that run external gates but no one seems to sell low mount manifolds that run external gates. So I can either change the set up to high mount or pay $1000 to get a low mount manifold made up that will run external gate.

So what im trying to work out is whats going to be cheaper, changing all the piping to high mount or just paying for a custom made low mount manifold?

Cheers Brody

You will have to change a bit of your piping even if you low mount. I have a mate selling a manifold that is low mount for a rb25 with 3076. Want me to find out how much he wants?

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
