Hey guys,

as the topic suggests, just lookin for some photos/ideas from people that have already used a Full Race twin scroll manifold (im using a borg warner 83/75 single turbo)

Particularly in reguards to the air intake, compressor/pressure side plumbing and power steering reservoir location

Cheers

Joe

Where does your manifold locate the front wastegate? There seem to be a number of iterations. I don't have p/s but intake side plumbing is the easy part - plumbing up the two gates etc looks to be the challenge (a challenge to do neatly that is).

as u can see the front waste gate is a pain in the arse lol

was also goin to run AFM's but it will be a difficult fit Y pipe/afm/ and filters with the turbo facing to the right

So the only option i can see atm is to run a D-jetro.. and good luck to the block whos doin the pluming for the wastegates :whistling:

TURBO IN!.zip

that should be a given, running a map sensor ecu.. btw awsome choice. need to get more bw data over here. im in the process of putting a 9179 on my gf rb25.. on a 6 boost. twin wg.= better but a pain in the ass to set up.

pic of turbon old manifold.

looks awsome mate... thats one fine lookin engine bay!! i may have to do something similar with my power steering reservoir

i have seen single set ups running AFMs, but didnt realise the dramas i was goin to have with the manifold pointing the turbo that way.

will be very interesting to see how the turbo performs in reguards to response with the twin scroll .. and yes get some data goin

went in pretty good. wastegates are a pain. ps.. make sure you check what springs are in them. i orderd mine with 0.7bar springs.

i pulled them apart, one had 0.9bar springs and the other had 4 springs in it... almost took my head off when i poped the top off...

9179 on 6 boost, 3.5" exhaust. twin tial mvr44, spooling at 3k. straight to limiter by 4500-5k throwing p/s belts of... sounds awsome.

got the wastegates with no springs in them so didnt have an issue with that, but yeah there is a fark load of spring pressure in them haha

had to use 3 springs to get the 1 bar setting though

pretty handy how both ur wastegates are together, i have one facing the front which could prove interesting

how much power u making mate? u reckon the twinscroll makes a difference as appose to single?

    • You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?
    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
