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.

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
