you can call summit racing and sometimes they can look up or find the thread size for your application just tell them what car it came off of...

Some turbo's aren't water cooled anyway, but those are journal bearing types, not ball bearing like his. On a BB center you need the coolant lines.

You can also take the turbo right into Ace hardware and the guys there can either help you, or you can browse through the hardware section yourself.

Most factory turbo's are. I can't say for sure Mitsu did on all of theres, but I know Nissan uses BB center sections. If you have the option to cool your center section you should use it.

Other wise I give it 2 weeks an it will seize, my friend killed two RB20 turbos that way. And I told him twice about water cooling. Oh well some people never listen.

The RB's were bb turbo's and they are the same years as the SR. Although admittedly I didn't know for certain about the SR. That turbo is to small anyway.

Damn, My GT2860RS .86 gets me like 10ish psi at 2300-2400. And it's Ball Bearing. That's pretty good spool-up you got there neverlift.
