Maybe an after market and you got a good deal? The one on my RB25 says "nissan" on it. Don't know how to reference those numbers. I'm sure someone here will know.

it dose not look stock to me. and also did you notice the stainless steel hose right by the turbo. so it could be aftermarket t3/t4 beacuse the stock oil lines really don't bolt up. or maybe i am crazy?

If you can get a ruler or tape measure of some sort in there, measure the diameter of the compressor inlet. That'll at least narrow it down a bit :)

Google turbo+that number with the didgets i can read 49178 it shows as being a MHI turbo. if you can read the rest you should be able to find out what it is.

Looks to me to be a old TD0X series turbo. (ie Mitsubishi (MHI) or Greddy/Trust)

Still on the car I take it?

the motor is a rb20

its an ok deal :D , i know the r-32 was owned by http://www.****pit-takatsu.com/

i also know it was an auto and they swapped it into a manual

oil pan gasked / head gasket/ valve cover gasket looks like it was reacently changed as well as the water pump looks much newer than the rest of the motor

it have a built head wuts in it ? no clue yet till i open it up

oh there is another question

there is a blue wire running from the ignitor chip straight to under the dash ?? can it be a push button start ? ignition kill ?

also there is two weird ( look like they are added on not too long ago ) red wires coming out a sensor on the transmission and go straight under the dash to hook on the under dash harness

i will measure the inlet on the turbo soon

thanks guys

ok i measured the inlet on the turbo its 2 1/4

i have a couple more questions since my motor is in the S13 already

the steering column how far in the nuckle does it go ? mine is like 1 1/2 only in or even a bit less is that enough ?

second question is did u take your turbo extension to grind it down ? if so how the hell did you take the top nut off its a pain to get to

enjoy the pics :

ah the transmission mount.well, you will have to loosen the bolts and use a screwdriver to move the mount so that the hole will line up.then bolt the transmission mount down using the bolts so it wont move.also you will have to disable the hicas portion of the ps pump and block off the rear pump outlet,

I had a custom line made, used 4ft of hydraulic hose, and two 90degree bends. Got rid of the banjo bolt also. Wish I had a digi cam to show you. You have to remove the vanes on the rear pump and then plug the lines. DOnt forget to plug the resevoir line also. The belt is a 37 4groove micro v if your wondering. Dont have a part number yet, will get that when I get home.

For the turbo O2 sensor housing I tried to grind mine and it was still too close for confort so I made a new 3" housing that gave me more clearance. I also just made it part of the DP so it's all one peice. I have flanges so you can make your own or have somone make one up for you local. It's one of those things that needs to be done on the car so you get it right. From your pics of the turbo it looks as if it has the same 6 bolt outlet flange that the RB came with stock.

The line came out to $72 and it was made at Earls Industrial Liquidaters in San Diego off of Convoy I think. I could not find part numbers, but If you are in need of a line, I still have the old ones I showed them to mock it off of. We can work something out.

Well, with a 2 1/4 inlet you can be assured its not a T04 compressor housing of any sort, its something smaller.
