:lol: I just run motormaster full synthetic runs fine with it. As for motor oil, for hot weather I use Quaker State 10W-50 synthetic and currently Mobil 1 5W-30 synthetic.

As for turbo elbow, with McKinney mounts I could run a full 3" from the turbo back if I choose to, that’s another reason I went my route.

Ask him EXACTLY what it is.

If he says R32. Ask him if it was GTR. If he says no, go get the fuckin thing. lol

I will be fucking surprised if you get the cross member that quickly and easily.

Honestly… RB25 will work with RB25 engine mounts apparently, never tried it. I have taken a look at the rb25 crossmember compared to the rb20 and the rb25 is not as slanted and is wider inbetween the mounts. I was going to try it but didn’t feel like wasting the money on buying something that doesn’t work.

its from a r33 rb25, I did more research, it wont bolt up correctly, according to nico. So, I dunno I dont really want to waste money on it either lol.

Stiky where did you get your crossmember from, torontojdm says they can get me one, maybe, at the time of engine purchase, for 250.
