Post the export paper up here if you would like me to have a look at it.

There are a bunch of different paths you can take when modding the RB25. The main factors affecting your choice are. What you are using the car for. What your goals are. How much you want to spend. The best thing to do is browse these forums as there is a massive amount of info on here. Personally I would be looking at a GT35R based turbo with the supporting mods for around 300RWKW while still being daily driveable and affordable. If you have a bit more cash to throw around then a Precision or similar turbo. If the sky is the limit then get an LSX engine and twin turbo it. You will want to consider running E85 if you are going to go to a bigger turbo, not because it is necessary but it does give a good increase in performance while still being kind to your engine. These might sound like overwhelming decisions to make at first but if you decide up front it means you will know where to start with your supporting mods. For example there is no point getting slightly bigger injectors if you plan on running E85 and 20psi of boost in the future.

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
