Hey Chris what's been happining any up dates on the manifold?

I finally have got motivated enough to get some material to do one myself :-)

The manifold I'm making will be the same low mount design as stock .

I have found a good way to cut merges on the band saw at work

I'm using 36 nominal nominal bore pipe who's is the 3mm wall so 42 od

I'm going with 4 into one collecter ( when u examine the stock mani u will under stand why I went with the 4 instead of 6 into one )

For my merge I'm going with a 20 degree cut angle as well

The manifold will be made out of 304 ss and fully perged for maximum strength an reliability

Ideally I want to sit pretty much in exactly the same spot as factory :-)

Although There will be a lot of test fitting and trial and error

I'm hoping all goes well :-) any pointers?

Also I pulled the head off a facked rb20 I had and was gunna bolt the mani to that when welding hopefully it will suck some the heat and won't distort too much

All the best

Bejay

    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
    • I could see someone trying this to save money on oil changes.
