How many ponies did it produce?

500 before it blew the welsche plug out, hasnt had full tune done since

How could that happen, unless the joiner is before the turbo (intake pipe)?

yeh intake pipe, the blue 90deg one in the pic

is it a shitty branded one?

get a thermal flex 90 like the one one your turbo

Has anyone seen a low mount tubalar manifold with external gate? I already have height clearances issues and am afraid a high mount manifold will exacerbate the problem

I realise that external gate on low mount will be pushing it for clearance down there but thought someone out there might have come up with a manifold design I can buy off the shelf

Speak to 6boost/Kyle.

I'm sure he could organise something.

Clearance on a low mount is not the only problem, you also have to consider accessibility of the bolts/nuts/hoses/etc for installation/fitment.

I really wanted a low mount manifold, but once i starting thinking about installation, etc. i decided to go high mount. Most high mount manifolds (if built properly) would have the turbo sitting below the level of the cam covers, so i don't think clearance is an issue; unless you're fitting a 800+hp turbo.

[bubba]

Only looking at fitting a GT35R and by clearance I meant for everything.. including ratchet and spanner access

The majority of the manifolds I have found when looking about have the turbo sitting a good couple of inches above the cam cover. If anyone knows of any specific high mount manifolds that aren't too high.. please, enlighten me

I am using a custom low mount manifold with a garret 35/40 and 48mm external wastegate, it has clearance everywhere, but it is a bit of a tight squeeze.

I preffer the low mount for lower engine bay heat temps as the hot air can escape out the bottom of the car. All factory turbo setups are low mount, there is a good reason for this.....

Got any pics?

Did you make it yourself or get a shop to?

[Godzilla33]

Im making my own low mount, GT35R, Got my flanges all drawn in cad (as close to match ported as possible-RB26), & laser cut using 12mm plate for all 3 flanges & steam pipe bends. Will take some pics when I start it. Do have a spare set of flanges to if anyone is interested, also have the cad drawing to get more cut if needed.

Made it myself, it does take alot of hours to get it all in the right spot.

few pics

Nice work! pity I don't have a welder and the time to spare hopefully I can find an off-the-shelf item.

[[200]]

My dry sump pump arrived today. ~$1100 for a Peterson 3 stage bearclaw.

[Scooby]

bearclaw? is that the model one up from the cameltoe and two up from the mooseknuckle? (you know..."mooseknuckle, because cameltoe has an ugly sister") (sorry)

just ordered the ATI damper i've been umming and aahing about, $500 landed on special from Summit Racing in the US. best i could find was about $745 here, if anyone's interested get in while the dollar is flying high.

cheers

hey wat throttle body do u run with the greddy style plenium ?

80 or 90mm ?

also for those with aftermarket comps do u use the MAF sensor ? or do i need a Q45AFM or a Z32 afm ?

also

i need to know what turbo + manifold i should get ? - high mount or lowmount in a R31 skyline.

internal or external waste gate?

i was considering this.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...A:IT&ih=014

but i was told to stay away from it ?

also going to be runnin tomei poncams.

[silver gts-t]

can anyone help out with welch plug sizes for the block and how many are needed?

[GTRgeoff]

The guys at Bursons or Repco would know and have the plugs John. I can't remember off the top of my head.

[silver gts-t]

repco only sort them by size not car.

called up a mate from nissan parts, said i need about 7 of one size (think its 22mm) and 12 of another im not sure of.

i think the greddy style ones are for q45 TB's but you can get an adapter for a stock TB

and i would definately stay away from that turbo

[GTRgeoff]

Also for aftermarket TB's and fuel rails you can try Buzz Engines in Brisbane. They have done some nice work. http://www.buzzengines.com/

I need to get a decent fuel rail for the 26/30 as I'm running Delphi 680cc injectors and the O ring setup is not optimal with the GTR rail.

[r33_racer]

thats also something id like to make on our cnc's when they are up and running properly some billet fuel rails....im in love with these machines and they arent even setup fully and running...however next week they tell me!
