shouldent be a problem at all, hks t51 comes in a few differant models so suiting one for an rb 30 should be easy. first you should decide what you want from your engine and select a model you need. hks t51 come in 2 modles the t51kai and t51spl. kai is good for 800ps and spl for 1000+. prices vary depending which model you choose. there are also the usual ball bearing and non-ball bearing choice. other than that all you need is a manifold/ headers and to up grade every thing else.(fuel system, ecu, modify intercooler plumbing, oil pump rods and pistons.) it would be wise to spend a few bucks as doing it on the cheap could lead to a lot of problems. you would need a fairly strong engine as that turbo/rb30 combo could generate a lot of power.

Too big for what ???

One must qualify one's thoughts :D

In other words- what are you going to be using the car for ??

Tells us as a percentage ?

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
