Just having a bit of thinking process on how the turbo will work boltd up to my new manifold.

originally this manifold had a T3 under it .. so oil feeds were in the correct positions. if that makes sense.

what im getting at is ..if i fit a ball bearing turbo ..which are suited to the Rb25/20 bolt up arrangement. the oil feed will be on teh side and the return pointing into the block.

is it possible to rotate the housings .. so that the oil feeds thru from the top ..like they do from factory.....at home without going to a turbo "expert" to have it done by "expert" hands. without any issues? believe they call this "clocking" a turbo.

just undo the housing bolts man and it'll all be rotatable.

Just get a teflon line made up with a 90 degree speedflow fitting on the end to get it out from the flange then send it to the block.

You can angle the oil feed about 5 degrees if you need a bit more angle.

thanks ash .i wasnt sure if the turbo was actually rotatable without any sealing issues or something like that.

i assume your talkin about the return side using a 90deg? u wouldnt happen to have any pics of your old 25 set up would u? coz it would be pretty much teh same

Scribble... no idea whats its made out of ... i'm assuming steel or some kind... stainless i dunno .. its HPC coated. i bought it from a m8 ..who had an original promo car from fred gibson...paid a good penny for it .. but i dont want to say.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
