unfortunatley not Andrew lol

that really needs to be laser cut, then CNC milled from the look of it - though im tempted to get the file for the 1uz to T56 file and see what their machining options are, i do have contacts for all this stuff now.

even if the laser cutters did the main work then etched the surface for the milling part you could spend some time doing it manually on a mill.

The turbo has bolts atm, would like to keep that if possible....as for the dimensions to the outside...it doesn't really matter, but I would like the center hole for the pipe to suit 3" mild steel pipe rather than 81mm

Chris, go to 10mm plate is what i've been advised by all the exhaust guys.

They see warping issues after use with 5/6mm stuff.

As for gearbox adapters, why the T56? It's a clunky as f**k gearbox. If I could have easily, I would have avoided using it altogether with my LS1 and stuck with the 5Speed.

If you've got a Toyota engine, get the V160 Box.

just did some measuring on matt's old dump pipe (same flange) it is 12mm from the centre hole to the edge and 10mm bolt holes.

Did notice though that his piping is 76mm OD...so not sure what to do there as I think 81mm will be too loose?

V160 = $4500-5000 2nd hand

T56 $1500 2nd hand

If I ever feel rich...would you be able to do one of these?

i bought the 1uz one yesterday - turns out its 3 pieces for the 1uz and they recommend steel - so i'll be cutting it out next week :P

lucky we have some 12mm plate lying around :D

yeah exactly

hardest part is going to be welding the pieces together without the 12mm plate warping - might have to bolt it up to the bell housing and weld it bolted up and low heat as its under compression so doesnt have to be a strong weld.

    • I would like to add that at least in my car, the RPM gauge shows around 200RPM above of what I can see at nistune.
    • Unless you have big cams, there is no reason for an RB to idle at any more than the stock 650. No, it is not 850, 950, or anything else. It is 650. In fact, it might even be 550. I just opened an arbitrary stock Neo file in Nistune, and this is what I see
    • I love the undertray, especially the flappy bit for easier access for serving I'm thinking of fabing up one at work for the MX5 while I still have access to the metal shop at work with a guillotine and press brake Whilst removing the plastic undertray on the MX5 isn't to hard, I love the idea of a 2 bolt flap as opposed to removing the whole thing 
    • Great thank you for that. Yeah that is the bumper and spoiler it still has i just hadn't heard of it being referred to as a aero form bumper before. Really appreciate your help.
    • A little progress; I took the opportunity of an oil change to take a sample for oil analysis, will be interesting to see how it was treated for its first 125,000klm (I know how it has been treated since :rofl:) I went with 5w40 and will see what that does for oil pressure at higher revs. Also fitted the Z1 front undertray....a little more sturdy than the plastic factory one (although I suspect it won't stop a tree stump ) Nicest thing about it really is the 2 bolt "service panel"....a gift to the oil changer compared to removing 14 bolts holding the factory tray.
