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.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
