dumb question time but I'm sick of reading back, did 50 odd pages and don't have a clear answer.

unopened 20.

tdo6 L2 20G 8cm for around 260rwkw?will probably be getting cams at the same time. with a pfc and z32.

on same note, which sub 1k manifold?

If your after sub 1k it's either the cheap spec eBay Kiwi steam pipe jobbie or a quality made in adelaide Kelway steam pipe made to order.

Pics of my SR Kelway manifold are a few pages back.

Save the money you are going to spend on cams and leave them std. They may improve performance but I have had experience with Apexi 260/9mm cams hurting performance and went back to std. Cam gears are a good option though

Spend the extra $100-200 and get an ETM, 6boost or Brae manifold. Tried and tested...

slippylotion...have to ask. I liked your pics...but do you have any affiliation with Kelway?...lol you are pushing them in every post. All for people vouching for good products but there is little in the way of results and arent they more expensive then 6boost etc...so well over the 1k option the OP is after?

don't really car what it is, also long as it sounds cool and my car bakes.

i googled him but didn't get any info about contacting him?

EDIT - roy, have mates who have had shocking experiences with 6boost so i want nothing to do with them, will google/get quotes from the other 2 though.

If only they were side feeders i would be onto it :(

I won't be needing my side feed 740cc hi-flowed series 2 things anymore if your interested, will be cheap cheap!

Not exactly sure how they were modified but it had something to do with a jig and grinding the ports, was told the same method is used by deatschwerks and the like?? apparently the spray pattern ends up being identical to a standard GTR injector.

PM me with a price if you want battery, Ill keep it in mind :)

ARTZ, im pretty sure i was originally telling you to get them yeah... But you concluded that you wanted something better, I more or less didnt disagree with you. I mean id rather ID's to them also, its just about simplicity and cost with a side of quality.

Bugger ! I am running one and it seems durable enough. It didn't do anything to improve performance over my old Trust manifold, (there is a little evidence that it hurt performance...so it certainly didnt improve by 300rpm like the consensus I got when researching) I know a few people running ETM and are happy with the service and quality. I have seen Brae manifolds on drift cars and the quality seems good and he is good at responding to queries as I am considering getting him to copy my old Trust manifold and going back to a 6-2-1 design vs the 6-1 6boost design

He is a mate and does quality work so I like to recommend him as a lot of other guys do for their favourite places. I did have his low mount mani before I changed to high mount. He also makes rollcages, suspension arms and braces and a heap more. Pretty much fabricates anything you want.

He is cheaper than 6 Boost and the like. I think 6 Boost SR manifold is about $990 where as Kelway is about $690. $895 for an RB manifold.

after googling some shit, I'm leaning towards a brea. thanks for your help.

Big cams for that size turbo. I'm using HKS step 2 264 in/out 12/11.5mm lift.

They are quite large for the application, but they sound cool at idle. It was running the same cams with the standard turbo with 19psi up it.

Felt pretty strong then so I can't wait to open it up once the fuel pump is in.

    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
    • Did this ever go further ? Would love some updated info
