i've noticed how my kando rear housing is bolted to the chra is pretty poor, i've seen some with v-band and some with garrett style fittings but for some reason mine is different.

ARTZ/JEZ, how is your rear housing bolted to the chra?

The T3 housing you have is a Kando specific item, it bolts on like a garrett one does.

The MHI/Trust style housings clamp on... Like the MHI and Trust ones do.

No big deal, its fine.

oh cool, thanks for clearing that up Scott.

some progress - still got plenty of room so i rekon its possible to squeeze in a T67 down there with a large spacer :D

Blake should be coming today or tomorrow to do the intake, cooler piping & screamer, and finish off the dump pipe. then tune in mid-end of Feb.

should get blake to tig the splitter shut, then machine the flange surface flat again.

then use one gate on either side of the splitter...... and bolt a T3 TS GTX3071 to it.

wrong thread.. :domokun: to self.. but had to say it looking at the manifold pron above (not the sexiest thing but theres an element of sex when you know it gets the job done ;)).

You can't get to the bottom of the mani I wanted to do that but not enough room the pipe is welded in the middle of the splitter perfect flow yes they are not very sexy but it works

You can do anything you set your mind to ;)

Especially if you CNC a divided spacer plate to go with it.

If I ever own another skyline we will pioneer this one together :nyaanyaa:

I want someone to take the tweaked log manifold with gate and then go and spend the extra $1000 on 6boost and $300 on pipng changes and report back. :)

Hypergear has some relevant results to that.... Hes shown where the stock manifold caps out and how he went with a stock position log.

I think the stock manifold has capped him to 320 but isnt too bad in terms of spool.

I am pretty sure the RB20 likes a manifold well before then. They really seem sensitive to back pressure and exhaust flow. The other RBs dont seem so sensitive to exhaust flow, but the little exhaust pulses of the RB20 seem to need some manifold help to spin the turbos. The full TD06-20G setups on RB20s always outpeform the bolt on setups. Even those that have had the exhaust housing gate mod or manifold gate mod

My theory is the stock mani can't flow past 320 because it becomes restrictive but when the external gate is added it would allow more flow and give more power I would like to see a t67 strapped to one and see when it stops making power due to the manifold

    • You know, that is exactly the thing that I was thinking a coupe of hours ago. I even had a plan for a meme, involving one big one, another big one, and the Old El Paso girl saying "¿por que no los dos?"
    • NoS, 2 of the big ones.
    • Oh, that's grim. Something bad has been happening there.
    • Put an endoscope down the hole and saw this. Not quite all around the bore but a good 60% at least. Chin to the chest and towards further disappointments I guess.
    • 2 does "sort of" applies, maybe......but looking at what parts would be needed for the swap to get engineered, registered, and insured, and basically that's everything under the car, the modifications the make it legal would be problematic and horrendously expensive, all for a street car that just cruises around and hits a few twisty roads on the weekends Also, from looking at the NSW rules and Regs, with all modifications that is required just to make the car safe and not twist itself to pieces, and then actually get registered for street use, may still be impossible nowadays As for 1, when you add in a fresh engine, fresh transmission, rear cradle and diff, tailshaft, suspension, brakes, cooling, and all the other fabrication required, your probably looking at up to $100k to do it right, all for a 20 year old MX5 that is over engineered and you would never be able to actually use the power it has on the street, much like your beastie, which I love, but you actually track that thing and can use all of its powers in anger, in a safe environment  Hell, the old Bogan Cruise Ship had more power than I could use on the street, and in hindsight, I went a bit silly on that thing, it didn't really need the 500hp it had for what I actually used the car for, it was fun, but basically unusable on the street if you value your licence  As for cams, yeah, I'll probably book it in for them to get installed and tuned soonish, like next month after MX5 Mania are back at work....... and yes, I've already sent a email to bin the turbo quote and quote instead to install cams and a new Fluidampr balancer that will suit the 2.5 better than the OEM 2.0 balancer that is swapped over for the 2.5 install, as the balancer needs to get pulled to time the cams it's a while your in there sort of thing I did think a bit about flex fuel for a laugh, but being na, and no where really around locally anymore to get E85, I've binned that idea, so no sweet sweet corn smells are set for the car I wish E85 was more of a standard fuel, it's better for the environment, better for tuning, plus that sweet sweet smell we all love As for fitting in the family, that's not needed, as everyone in the family already owns a car that can seat 5 humans comfortably enough, the MX5 is "my toy" As for buying a car that is already built, nah, I would rather pick and choose my parts, I enjoy the process, and in the big picture, the additional cost is well worth the enjoyment, and the occasional frustration, I get out of doing it, albeit with other people spinning the spanners, and me, just paying the invoice 🤣
