just so we are clear, you are aware of the following because of the height difference.

Intercooler pipes wont fit, need to be modified.

exhaust wont fit, needs to be modified.

stock turbo is too small chokes HARD at ~5500 (you end up with about 80kw@ wheels by 6500)

intake pipe will need to be modified unless stock/flexible ish

front strut brace is unlikely to fit

car it came out of was probably automatic, dont forget to change the spigot bush in the crank or you will f**k your input shaft bearings in the gearbox

retaining vct isnt hard, just needs some bundy tube and some patience to run the line from the oil pressure sensor feed.

probably some other things i have forgotten since doing it.

im sure there is a RB30 build thread somewhere that he can follow tits.

Also in case your not aware already

Zac is a mech ;)

One way so solve a lot of thoes, 26 head ;)

There is threads and PDFs and a mountain load of info on them I think I should be pretty right to tackle it. No doubt I will encounter issues but this is a learning experiance and training for me, and not sure on if it will be going in mine or getting sold, ATM if I sell it Kathryn's had already chosen what the money from it is going towards

that only fixes 2 of the issues, strut brace and VCT.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
