Where the filter screws on that housing is actually the cooler has coolant lines goin through it can't really see it with the manifold on...

yeh ive been looking at it and im goin to wait for my manifold to rock up before i make the decision was only going to do it cos i want to delete the stock one but we'll see.... yeh i would prob just drive mine on the weekends and i dont drift or track just drags every now and then.

sorry for the late reply. and let me just start by saying WOW. Lol. im very appreciative of your effort that you have put into that reply. item 1: i saw the traction control motor but wasn't sure what is was and im struggling to understand why that is such a noob mistake and in the end i did figure it out. i hadnt thrown it away by that stage either its not as if i jumped into the deep end and then started asking questions im doing my research which has been met with some "interesting" advice to say the least. yes you have the info but the way you bring it across is not the friendliest. in terms of the engine bay looking messy it is extremely busy under there and if the trade of between the engine looking neat and tidy for a bit of driveability im prepared to make that sacrifice. champ is the ultimate condescending comment i know was fighting fire with fire and it obviously worked. and in terms of interesting you didnt really you said a couple of words and then criticised me for trying to figure out a few things??? i applaud you for being practical there are too many "lookers" and no "go'ers" but not everyone is like you and me personally i want a clean looking car is that so bad?? haha boostcruising is the land of fights, shit talk and biggest dick contests and thats where my post was heading and didnt want it to get to that so im glad i've openned your eyes to a forum that is useless and full of people busy with putting down the less knowledgable. like i said before i have come to realise that you are most probably right but i didnt have a roblem with that in the first case. I havnt had the luxury of being able to do major modifications to my car cos ive only ever had the daily and there is only so much you can do in one night without walking to work in the morning. In terms of other mechanics in my situation ive just moved to perth and the only guys at my work a V8 only so they are of no help to me. usually by this point i wouldn't humour you with a response but i wanted a bit of closure to all this bickering update ive bought myself a camry to daily drive while i take the 34 apart. ive gone with the aftermarket manifold and a z32. i was also thinking of running an external oil cooler and ditch the stock one any have any info on this?

HAHA lets go then. No one knows everything about everything I'm a DIESEL MECHANIC not light vehicle i dont play with cars all day and want info so i dont f**k up?? sound legit. as if people dont modify stuff for looks why the f**k do people buy rims for????? light weight my ass!!! i know what traction control does sort of explains itself in the name or did you have trouble understanding it the first time? it doesnt exactly have TRACTION CONTROL written on it and like i said im used to controlling fuel not air ( diesel not petrol ). I still go back to my point. Why critisise me wanting information cos after all i thought thats what this forum was all about. you seem to be one of the idiots from boostcruising do you not have anything better to do then scan forums for people that dont "know" as much as you do and put condescending comments on their topic. seriously take a look at yourself and grow up.

yeh the comment was just a bit condescending in my opinion. I am keeping all my stock parts wouldnt have thought that they would defect me for an aftermarket manifold tho (if it passed emissions of course)??? im mainly doing it to clean the engine bay up and the injectors i have are big bore and id have to modify it. so im goin ahead with the forward facing. ive gotten most of the information i need now and prob goin to take it apart within the next few weeks. cant thank you guys enough for the info was a big help and ill organise photos and stuff and a write up. cheers

heres my tip champ. if you dont have anything interesting to say stay quiet. I'm trying to learn and when I do i will help others. If your fighting the system what are you doin on this forum????

ok just had a good long squiz under the bonnet and ive decided to throw away the stock manifold cos it just looks too messy and the injectors i have purchased are for the "big bore" holes and wont fit. so now my question is the throttle body now is MASSIVE to say the least how can i possibly bolt that up to an aftermarket forward facing manifold. ive see the r33 version but the neo and another butterfly in it and the hole assembly is about 12 inches long what do i do????? do i get aftermarket throttle body?? IF so wot happens to the massive actuator thing hanging off the crossover pipe?

Ok so I'll keep the stock intake manifold though as I said before I will have a high mount 35r so the crossover pipe will cause problems I think though I have seen people do it before but means I have to put a 110 degree pipe to the intak manifold... Still undecided I guess if i just make it work as is now and see how I go I am buying another run around so I will be able to take my time with this build and hopefully document it for future neo builders

ok so now does it have to be forward facing manifold to get 400hp reliably?? or can i just leave it as is?? cos i think it would be easier to put a new manifold rather than modifying the old one??? are those injectors big enough for wot i want? how about fitment??

wow thanks heaps for the suggestions people keep them coming if you can think of more to add. im looking for 400hp safely. have'nt pulled the motor apart and was told that they are strong internally as long as the tune is good which is what im going for. I've already got the power fc so thinking i might get the q45 afm to go with it. I'm going to tow car to tuners. the greddy copy manifold i have'nt purchased yet and if people have run 400hp on the stock ones i might think about keeping mine. If i do should i modify to make it forward facing????? ive already purchased injectors went for a set of denso 550cc injectors top feed high impendence blah blah blah does this mean i need to get an aftermarket fuel rail or will those injectors fit the manifold with the fuel rail mod i have seen on this forum? The current mods on the car at the moment are the usual stage one stuff fmic exhaust intake.

Hi people. i'm new to the forum as a user but have worked my way around majority of the posts. i have an r34 4 door manual and am looking for more power (like most people). now im a diesel mechanic and am keen to do all the work (bar tuning and custom piping of course). now i've so far bought a gt35r turbo with a split t3 flange (questions on that later). an ebay copy greddy manifold. a plazmaman exhaust manifold to a t3 flange. also gettin all the other neccessities ie. 550cc injectors with a hks rail, 38mm wastgate, sard fpr, tomei pon cams, hks adj cam gears, z32 afm and button clutch, power fc. Now it might be a big ask and from my research i havnt found many topics about r34. i would imagine they would be fairly similar to the r33 but not sure and dont want to run in guns blazing only to find someone looking back at me with a bazooka!! 1:now my first question is about the turbo. T3 split flange will it fit to the normal T3 flanged manifold?? 2: The manifold i found an awesome write up about a greddy manifold and read it many times was wondering if there are any big differences between the normal and the neo? 3. The power fc i would think i could simply plug it in myself and get someone to tune it. Though ive hears something about boost control part to it? can i just control boost with my gizmo ebc and still run the PFC? also are there any other mods that should be done (besides forging) while the motor is in pieces and things are easy to get to? any help with these questions would be very helpful.
