Hey Guys,

Looking at running a low mount set up I have the following:

Ported and flowed rb25 manifold

R32 gtst ecu with nistune chip

Wal bro pump

Planning on getting:

Gt3076r

Nismo 555cc injectors

HKS evc-s boost controller

Is there anything else I'll need?

Will any modification be needed to run the gt30 on stock manifold? Also what flange is the stock manifold? And can an external gate be run on a low mount set up?

Finally, roughly how much power do you think it will see me?

If running internal gate then no mods besides the spacer plate between manifold and turbo and longer studs. If u want ext gate then need to either mod turbo housing or manifold.

Powerwise around 280-300 on 98 and 320-350 on e85.

Z32 AFM. Since you're buying injectors, don't waste your money on old tech. Buy new EV14s - preferably E85 rated ones.

Turbo flange is T3.

Good luck getting an external gate mounted on housing in stock location. It's a bit squeezy down there. Budget on internal gate for a low mount if using the stock manifold.

This isn't hard and has been done a zillion times.

Disco has a thread recently about putting a 3076 on stock manifold.

Heaps of gates off housings around.

Buy turbo. Buy 20 mm spacer.

Bolt together.

Buy 90 degree silicon joiner or alternatively weld elbow onto turbo outlet

Buy decent injectors and z32.

Boost off into the sunset.

Manifold spacer/longer studs/Scotty inlet tube/GT30 IW Dump/elbow off comp housing (stainless mandrel or aluminium bend in 2") water and oil lines .

I'd stay RIGHT away from Nismo 550 side feeds . Soon I'll have a set of 740s in the rail for RB25 if interested .

Or convert to EV14s as mentioned with an aftermarket rail .

Has not been back on the rollers yet , on E85 it would be disappointing to see less than 300 given the overall package .

If using a std or Z32 MAF consider keeping the factory airbox and snorkel because it goes a long way to hiding the front 2/3 of the turbo . Scotty inlet or one like it is a must here . Pods scream modified

I've made just over 400RWKW with a GTX3076R on E85, off the stock manifold with a WG welded to the turbine housing.

I actually made 377kw, but it was through an auto which had 8% slip. Some crazy mofos have made up to 455rwkw on one, but uh, at 45PSI. I don't think that is really going to work too well in a stock engine setup, especially if you don't have a GTX and have a GT3076 instead.

Also +1 for getting injectors well, well, well above 555's. You never know when you will need them and the cost difference is almost zero.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
