So you thought posting your chainsaw murdering ideas on a public forum was a good idea? I don't think a loud exhaust is any reason to kill someone... but I guess things are different up Mt Nebo way. I will gladly stay away from you inbred Hillbillies.

I already have a kit, currently on my Stagea, but I am willing to sell it as the auto can't handle what I would like to throw at it. 400kw capable GTX3076, 1.06 Tial rear, 45mm external gate. What are your power requirements and where are you located? I can custom make kits (if the car is here) I can also supply turbo manifolds separately if you require them... There is more involved in a turbo kit than you think, as there is bugger all space to work with.

All this Evo talk, I wish Barry would finish assembling my 2.3L... Still haven't driven the 7 and I have owned it nearly 2 years.

I have a 2001 Mazda 323 astina going cheap. Costs nothing to run.

Is that a VQ30det Gloria? What suburb are you in?

I bet you could buy one for one tenth that if you shopped around.

That looks much better. The stainless housings are great to weld, but damn they give the die grinder a hard time.

Agreed, in that position it would almost flow backwards from the gate, similar to a paint spray gun.

Black cloth interior out of my blue wreck. The seatbelt pretensioner isn't part of the seat, it is in the pillar...

Great result Portaz, finally all the hard work and headaches have paid off.

It is tapped off very late on the housing, well after the nozzle, still I would have expected it to work well enough, if the inside was cleaned up with a die grinder after welding. There have been no issues with boost control on any of the modified housings I have done, and no cracking on the mild cast, or investment cast stainless housings. Even after 5 years and countless track days. I noticed you weren't running switched boost pressure to the top port of the wastegate, that will help hold massive boost if that's what you were planning...

Just get an ARP stud kit, will probably work out cheaper, and they won't stretch with a bit of boost.

404 error might have something to do with it. Useless spam is useless.

My car is runs fine at 40+ psi, perhaps it's the superior fuel I use? They (NGK's) certainly aren't as shit as you make out. Perhaps you are buying them too hot for your application? Try a google search with skylinesaustralia (then whatever you want to find.)

Haha, Iridium crap. I can't believe I pay $20 a plug for them to be useless... If you are fouling iridiums or melting them you have other issues, and copper plugs won't fix that, no matter how often you replace them. There are literally pages of threads on plugs, why here?

It's the film strength that protects the bearings, not the viscosity. (F1 cars run a straight 10 weight I am told...) As long as you use a good quality synthetic and drop the oil regularly, I can't see a problem with it myself. I still want to cool the oil further and will be looking at a secondary 30 row core if I track the whale again. I have been asked to try Liqui Moly 10w60 Race Tech next time out, apparently it loves the high temps. I will be running a waterless coolant also to combat the flash boiling I am getting in the head and bore. Damn alloy block.

Thanks guys. The stock one can start to collapse not much over 200kw, but it only happens when the manifold is glowing. The lower section of the intake isn't protected well from the radiated heat and it softens the rubber/silicone. You can slide a piece of 3 inch stainless inside the corrugated section to help, but the lower bend will still suck in at around 250kw from my experience. Changing to an alloy intake solves most issues, but it would need the BOV return and breather fitting to remain legal.

Sorry, I thought you were by your statement. Quote: And if any one wants their manifold to be done. The cost for doing so is $300 and our 50mm HPVA gates are $350 in additional. The 430kw result was, for the 10th time, an RB25 in a 33gtst. The engine has cams and runs a gtx35 off an unmodified manifold, with a shitty 3 inch exhaust and a screamer on United e85. I have no idea where you got VQ from, mine is the highest output VQ25det I have heard of, and it's stuck at at 350kw due to the auto box.

My AFM's are fine, and have been in use in cars for well over a year. Sometimes they run a little richer than the OEM one, but it only seems to be on modified m35's which would be running rich anyway. I would say the top end on the air curve has a slightly higher voltage, but I would recommend tuning the car well before then regardless. Mine has been running perfectly for 6 months+ and flows 3 times the air a stock car would ingest. I sell them for $65. PM me if you need one, I just cleared out my inbox.

I have already spoken to you about working for free, or in this case losing money. My kids need to eat you know. Perhaps you can make me a turbo for free as a swap? I was just trying to help you learn and further your development. Sticking your head in the sand to prove your point is counter-productive as there is always a better way. I have no need to prove my theories any more as I already have dyno results on quite a few Skylines/Stageas to prove my setup works. Perhaps you don't think they are accurate... Why don't you head down to Edge for a run instead.

My aftermarket ones are lasting fine. Nissan and Subaru. You could fit an Emanage Ultimate, then you could theoretically run any afm in the Greddy list. Or you could custom tune off any afm not in the list if your tuner is good enough. The hassle with going MAP sensor is... the gearbox uses the afm signal to adjust the auto line pressures. So you still need to run one.

Unfortunately your rear housing is still an internally gated hypergear, modified to suit the external. There are still gains to be had over yours, with one of my external gate housings Johnny, as I spoke to you about. Hopefully the internal gate hole doesn't affect the flow too much. One thing I need to talk to Stao about is his laser cut T3 spacer, it is much larger than the T3 flange, as he cut it to suit the gasket, not the flange. This means there is a 5mm+ square edge on either side of the flanges, right at the critical point before the nozzle. I am only trying to show my results are real, and that the stock manifold flows fine unmodified. I am more than happy to share results and help others achieve similar power on the stock gear, I don't like people wasting money and introducing other issues (like melting heater hoses, clearance to the chassis rail, runners hitting the head, defects) by fitting of these aftermarket manifolds to a road car, which gain very little at this power level from my experience. No bullshit.

If i was going to modify the stock manifold I would need to die grind it internally and smooth the entry into the gate. I just don't see the point of hacking up a manifold when I can weld the gate to the turbine housing and make similar power to a highmount, with better response. Your setup needs a little work imo, and a proper external gate housing, I am quite happy to help with ideas with you if you like as you seem to enjoy dyno testing as much as I do. I have done this many times for RB's and VQ's, it is nothing new. Perhaps you should back to back one of my turbine housings to see any gains. You obviously didn't believe the stock manifold could flow 430kw unmodified, but perhaps you are leaning more that way after your recent trials?

All it proves is the external gate flowing better made more power. So obviously, the wastegate doesn't simply drop the manifold pressure... It allows more airflow in the top end once the turbo becomes a flow restriction. That is the belief I have always held, and is why I don't like the 90 degree wastegate entries, or square edge protrusions in the turbine housing. Get in there with a die grinder Stao.

I have a set of VQ25det injectors here which I am confident are the same, I can check the part number if you like. PM me if you need them. As they have been out of the car a while you may need to flow test them, as you would with any second hand injector.
