High Mount Turbo

[B-Boi34]

Yeah if you could find out that would be great? Is he running an external gate?

Reading this it looks like you can keep the factory cooler piping, I know the piping before the turbo will need to be changed.

Do you know if the crossover pipe is still used for high mount set ups?

Will do. I am fairly certain it was external gate. If you keep the stock intake manifold you will need some sort of pipe going over the top of the engine to the throttle body.

This can be done on the "cheap" but really the not the best way to go. Turbonetics would be the cheapest Turbo I would go, just buy it from them or a dealer and cheap manifolds HAVE problems i;e put a straight edge on it and you will see. So the items you will need and the usual mods to be done for this setup ON A STANDARD RB25DET in a Skyline are:

Turbo

Manifold

Wastegate

Injectors

Manifold Studs

Wastegate Fabrication

Dump Pipe Fabrication

Intercooler Pipe Fabrication ( If using a Front Mount)

Intake Pipe Fabrication

Fit Injectors + Rewire Loom and Pressure Test Fuel Rail

New Oil Supply and Drain System

Mod Plate for High Mount

New CPU or Map / Dyno Time

Heatsleeve

Z32 Afm with Tomei Adaptor

Upgrade the Clutch

New Vacuum Hose

Clamps + New Brass Fittings

Coolant

Tow Truck Fees

There is more shit but CBF typing it.

With the Turbo + manifold with custom work and Sard Injectors added onto the price I did it for about $5530, and that was on the cheap lol.

wow thanks for the info, will have a good read of this.

Ok so everything you mentioned iv already taken into account except for the intercooler fabrication & the mod plate. So might as well go high mount unless Bunta's friend has the right low mount manifold for sale.

I pmed you the details not sure if he wants to sell the mani seperate. But for the price he is offering you effecively get the manifold, pay 500 bucks less than retail for the turbo them all the piping the dump pipe and waste gate come free!
