Hey guys brand new to the motor
Importing a 1999 r34 sedan, my first turbo, rwd, rhd car

A couple questions and if they've been answered link me to the thread, thanks!

What's the best oil grade to use and whats the capacity? Along with best transmission/ diff fluid

What are some turbos that are easily swappable that stock internals can handle without any other major work? Only looking for 350-400hp. Looking for More torque than Hp anyway

FSM says 7.5W, but we don't have that so I run 10W-30 full synthetic.

A T3 (adapter flange) 3076R with smaller exhaust housing would be incredibly responsive and give you that HP range without changing the manifold. You'll need it to be internally gated and will need a new downpipe. Don't forget that you will need injectors, fuel pump (probably), boost controller, and a means to tune it whether it is a PowerFC, Nistune, SAFC, or a full-blown standalone system (AEM, Haltech, PROEFI, Vipec, etc.).
