Very large pics, but here you go.... Fit is very good. We fabbed it up with his GT25R on it first and we are going to have to hack half the mount out if he wants to keep it. Then we bolted it up with my S14 T28, SR Megan Racing o2 Housing, and HKS SR downpipe. It all fitted up great! I might pic one up, but I am still worried about cracking on it. But it is a pretty beefy piece.

Top Side of it....

o2 Housing

Mostly fitted up, good fit

GT25R on the right... that thing is MASSIVE

Just an idea on how big it really is....

btw.... motor is completely out of the car and on the stand. Fitting up the injectors, turbo, and lines tomorrow. Also got the flywheel off and going to have it resurfaced. Might as well have it done while it is apart. I am also going to lay down a fresh coat of paint and clean up the motor quite a bit and resolder some crappy wiring from before tomorrow. If my damn gaskets from JSpec show up I can have it all back together and back in and running Wednesday or Thursday.

It does look really nice. I hope that it works alright as us CA ppl need a good cheap mani.

GT25R is a nice bolt on turbo but the turbine will run out of flow at 21 psi and the big trim spools up around 4000 on a SR.
