Thanks Roy! That looks quite nasty.....:(

Will definately do something about this manifold. Maybe I need to make a custom heat shield

Stock one had a heat shield where this does not

Edited by blah_blah

ACL heatshield is awsome stuff, you can bend and cut it into any shape you need :) i also heat wrapped the manifold and part of the dump, used heat shield sleeving on the oil and water lines, aswell as a turbo beanie.

After doing a bit of reading this morning. The ACL Heatshields seem to be the go :thumbsup:

Yeh ACL is good stuff, but with that sort of dump and manifold setup I think you will have trouble making a decent arrangement. Under the sheathing over the coolant hoses going into the firewall std Nissan hoses that have been wrapped in DEI no leaks to further make the new hose robust.

When you are driving arount at wide open throttle for 15 minutes with everything glowing red everything goes to shit. Even loom clips nowehere near the immediate heat sources harden and become nice and crispy. If its less circuit car and just a club car doing track work then the concern over heat control is a little less

Bringing a 6" flexible duct up from the front of the car to dump cooling air in the region can help too. Even if it doesn't noticeably cool the hot stuff, it will take some heat away from the stuff that's not meant to be hot.

Just a daily car doing club track work via SAU VIC and other car clubs.

Winton isn't too much a problem.

But somewhere like Sandown and Phillip Island (Havent been but assuming so) might be

With the stock setup, car was getting really hot under the car and oil temps up to 130 towards the end of the day at Sandown. So would only last about 8-10 mins out of a 15min session before oil temps started to get out of control. This was on a 20c day.

So now with this new manifold, turbo and summer approaching. Hoping heat shielding and an oil cooler will do the trick.

Seems a bit of a waste doing track days and having to pull in early in sessions because your car is overheating

Yeh, maybe...but I don't like that idea on my car. Too much heat-temp cycling. If you run a bit duct so its all low velocity and you dont get cold spots...but not very practical given how busy it all it in there. I also ran my inlet temp thermocouple around the strut tower whilst I was doing my shielding etc years ago and i think the main thing is keep the heat in the hot things and try to have slow heating and cooling....with it protect the things that dont like heat and then typically saloon cars with copious amount of 60deg air coming through the radiator gives enough airflow through the engine bay...for me a better approach since i dont want any ducting etc in my bonnet. But others may be able to make it work

Did some jigging today. I can make TD06SL2 20G / 18G or TD05H 18G into a bolton turbocharger for Nissan Rb engines, how ever only in a 8cm housing at current stage. It will cost $300 additional. Since most internally gated TDxx results are rather disappointing, the ATR series are still better choices of a bolton turbocharger, how ever send in PM if any one wish to get one made and have a go at.

The curvature of the blade is too far curved, specially in a 8cm its going to chock the engine badly, and putting on heaps of load onto the thrust collar. Its good for small engines. Under comparison, the SL2 turbine appears much better for a Rb20/25 motor.

The TD05H seems to pump a fair amount of volume on a 4G63, up to 300kw on E85 from memory (with custom spec compressors).

Trent has also said 280kw from one is not hard to achieve. (TD05H 18g 10cm).

That being said. 280kw from an SR or 280kw from an RB is the same amount of exhaust gas flow regardless. Power = flow. Right?

You have the thing able to be put on, just trial it on your own car and see.

Nope, bigger engines actually result in much high back pressure and lot more heat when constrained by a small turbine, its different when fitted on to a smaller engine. So this turbo might reach 250rwkws on a worked SR20det, but won't be able to reach that on a RB25det, probably going to pin its head off on boost.

This is the new 3inch Vband dump adaptor with a large 38mm internal gate that I've been working on earlier and it is now complete.

The 3.5 inches front pipe that I would like to offer with this turbine housing has been made (by Drifthovic SAU: Abe2 <= this guy also makes stainless stell 3inch lobster induction pipes for high flow and other turbos)

After looking into my Xforce front pipe. it appears it was a straight pipe bent into shape by a bender, not mandrel bents. The area that it bents were only 2.5 inches.

With the new front pipe installed, the exhaust sounded alittle louder. and felt torquier in the mid-upper rev range.

Price for the cnc internal gate assembly is $350

3inch mandrel bend front pipe to cat is: $220

3.5 inches lobster bend (show on photo) is $270.

So for example a ATR43G3 with above assembly and 3inch mandrel bend front pipe would be:

$900 (turbo) + 350 (cnc internal gate assembly) + 220 (front pipe) = $1470

The CNC internal gate assembly and front pipe also fits any ATR43's .82 turbine housings.

This setup will allow the turbocharger to perform much betterly compare to some of the CN imported front pipes.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
