Adam,

A Borg Warner EFR8374 matches most of your requirements. Rated up to 800HP (79lbs/min compressor) and capable of well over 400kW at the rear wheels on E85. Available in 0.83 A/R T3 internal WG.

Garrett's GTX3582 is available in a T3 twin scroll but only external WG. However they do have a T3 0.82 internally gated turbine housing. It will produce less power than the EFR8374 but probably provide slightly better response.

Here's a back to back comparison between the smaller Borg Warner EFR7670 with a T3 0.83 vs. a Garrett GTX3582 T3 0.82 on a 2008 model STi running pump fuel with 50/50 water methanol injection:

Opt for the 400kW car... you know you want to :yes:

There are other options that will meet 'most' of your requirements. But not many available with an off-the-shelf T3 internally gated exhaust housing.

Precision Turbo (Shaun is familiar with PT stuff) PT6062 CEA GEN2 (rated up to 750HP) is available with a T3 5-bolt housing which could be set-up to run internal WG. A little bit of stuffing about though.

Forced Performance have their new Xona Rotor range, which is basically their previous FP comp/turbine wheels with a new CHRA. But no off-the-shelf IWG option.

If you switch to external gate your options increase significantly.

6262, comes in a ford 1.06 in gate housing option ..which means a 6062 should fit aswell....

or people get them machined into the ford housing..so im guessing you could machine it into a .82 3582 in gate housing..?

cheers

Stock manifold will be a choking point, you need the motor to breathe.

If you want stock manifold, get a fabricator to run twin gates off it.. grouping cylinders 1~3 together and 4~6 together.. the factory manifold surprisingly is "nearly" twin scroll, bar that little notch.

OR use a Havoc Fabrication modded manifold which merges each of the pulses into 1x gate. I would expect at least a 45mm or 50mm gate off it.

GTX3582 would be perfect, especially with that 3.0L pushing it along.. heck even a GTX3576 would be perfect.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
