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

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
