I'd probably weld it too if it can be done successfully....forking out $1500 or more for an aftermarket job just to gain approx 5rwkw aint worth it IMHO

only 5rwkw? i know cubes says its one of the most important upgrades for the hybrid RB30 engines

im not saying luke should do it for the 26 and if he hasent go the money for it now, of corse try welding it up... but it should be something on his list of things to do for the 30!

[D_Stirls]

The difference is going from the standard RB20/25 over the top intake manifold to a front facing manifold then there would be gains to be had, but Luke's manifold is a GTR manifold and there are plenty for GTR's making up to insane amounts of power still using the factory GTR manifold.

The Greddy and hypertune manifolds will give you slight increases in the top end when you are making massive amounts of power but you will be getting this gain at the cost of low down and midrange power, and like SLED said your only talking 20-30HP gains on a 700HP engine but your are losing like 80HP below 5000rpm

Kocking off work at 1, rush home to wash/detail my cop of a car then race down to the showgrounds and setup the SAUSA display! what an arvo.

Haha yeah think im missing the 33 like you missed yours. Got a few guys to talk to about it to get a bit more history on it, but the guy that owns it use to work at Autobarn.

I may even be taking it out of context, it was a while ago i read it and perhaps it was just about 20/25's and i read 26's into it, but without actually finding the post im pritty sure it was also including (if not specifically about) 26's and it was sugesting a particular brand and not greddy/hypertune... and coming from an rb30 guy that knows his stuff so i'd take his advice, or at least strongly consider it, if i was doing any kind of 30.

in the end, its lukes car, lukes money and lukes goals so he can do anything he likes. i was just reminding him what cubes had said

absolutely!

and hey, did i read correctly last night on FB - the little yellow weapon is finished!!!!???

just bought one of the turbosmart boost tees

do you mean the turbo-tech ones Damo? thought you were having issue with the t-smart one

i second the turbo-tech tees like the others here, had one on my white 33 - held 11-almost 12psi up to very high revs. The Mines ECU had set the limiter @ just over 8000rpm too

[Damo_R34]

yeah i mean Turbotech

my current boost curve drops off a fair bit, from 10psi down to around 7 by redline. holding the boost higher through the revs with the new boost tee will obviously affect my tune wont it?

EBC FTMFW

[Damo_R34]

i have other priorities at the moment, no funds to splash on an ebc unfortunately. about to pay for my 100k service kit

[Krishy]

el cheapo one will still do Damo.....but understandable with finanaces mate....

[Damo_R34]

the joys of owning an import

bought the turbotech boost tee, if it holds boost like Nicks then ill be happy. When i had my car tuned at 12psi, it would drop to 9 - 8.5 by redline :S
