I have a really good deal pending on an absolutely huge turbo... I'd rather not say what it is, because... well, I dont need anyone to tell me how slow this thing's gonna spool. Hahaa..

I'm looking for turbo manifold options as the exhaust flange is a t4. Its also an externally gated turbo. Is there any particular reason why fabricating a 3-4 inch spacer, that converts to t4 flange, and has a wastegate flange attatched to it, would be a bad idea?

I'm not too stoked about paying $1000+ usd for an aftermarket manifold just yet.. And I'm not very exited about that $100 ebay garbage... I'd like my stock manifold to work untill I can fab my own a little ways down the road..

Any suggestions?

Thanks dudes!

You can get a flange from t3 to t4 from horsepowerinabox.. but you might have trouble putting a massive turbo low mount if your planning to use your standard manifold ... what about 6boost? i read they're doin well in the HPI mag... custom manifolds and ones ready made... give em a go

Just checked em out.. Horsepowerinabox makes an internally gated t3 flanged manifold, and I didnt see a t3 to t4 adapter flange... Another problem I have is that the motor is in an s13, and I am unsure if their manifold would fit with my LHD steering column.

6boost's website is under construction.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Call Protechfabrication, He can make you a very strong manifold. What kind of manifold are you looking for? Equal length? Tubular non equal? Here are some pics of there work. He has made one manifold for the RB20/25 so far but it's not finished yet. Mostly SR20 manifolds that go on fwd car and awd cars like the GTiR. He is very happy with the amount of room we have with the 240's. Wayyyyyyyyyyyy more room than a fwd B13-B14. some more pics http://www.3rdgearvtec.net/Andys%20Videos/Protech/ http://www.3rdgearvtec.net/Protech/ The RB one he is making is about this thick P1000702.jpg.

Here is there web page with the contact info. http://www.protech-fabrication.com/

I've just been thinking today about manifold options and basically come to the conclusion that not only do I not want to pay $1000+ usd, but... what in the world would ever be sure to fit my application? LHD s13, very very large turbo, and still make for a reasonably shaped turbo elbow? Nothing! lol..

I think I'll be better off buying a decent welder and making a log manifold, DP, and the required IC piping.

Thanks for the help everyone

If all you want is a log then use the factory manifold. You can make an adapter box to put a bigger turbo on the car, tho it's not best way to make power but it will work.

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
