no probs will do. Its going on the dyno next Friday to test some thing else but that will also answer the spiking question. It seems to be holding and no where near as violent but I aint keen on thrashing it on the street to confirm.

Run mine up today with one of these manifolds. 14psi spring in the manifold and dead steady boost control. Run it up to 17psi and no boost creep what so ever. Very happy.

Any pics of the setup on your car mate?

Sean would love that tight bend right before the throttle body :laugh:

You have the AFM in the cooler piping I take it??

Yeah its rather tight, after talking to a few more people about a FFP im really thinking it may be next :(

Yeah afm's just after the intercooler, i was expecting to have hose problems with it blowing off but didnt have one :)

No but I can grab some. Because the power steering line loops up on the 34's makes the intake pipe tight and the waste gate port runs pretty close to the a/c lines. Not problems though. Had to chop up a 14mm spanner to get 2 bolts done up to and trim 2 studs, actually easier to bolt on then my mate's 6 boost.

Just spent 2 days reading this whole thread (hiding at work haha) general concensus seems good for the money. At the end of the day it's stronger than a china manifold, but cheaper than a 6boost. As long as they fit + hold together + hold boost their a winner in my book. I couldn't care less about pretty welds if they do what their supposed to - but that's just me.

Pm sent

I'm going to wait till there's a twin scroll / split pulse one.. I'll be all over that shit like a sale at bunnings

We do Top mounts currently with split pulse,

Without gate? I am planning to mount the gate on the rear housing instead of off the manifold

Hey MSports what size gate did you end up using? I have to change mine to suit a bigger gate cos I'm spiking from 4500 and above witht the durty 30 with about 20psi worth of springs fitted. I used a Turbosmart 40mm gate.

Yeah, its still a tad messy, was in a rush to finish it, Still gotta neaten it all up.

does it clear the A/C lines, heater lines, extra brake lines (ABS)?

also with the gate installed, does it clear the suspension tower ok?

PICS PICS PICS of under car etc... :)

I used a Tial 44mm MVR, no spiking what so ever, flat boost curve the whole time.

I'll grab some pic's soon, been at work all week, i work 12hr shifts so havnt had a chance.

The A/C line's need to be moved towards the strut tower, i just cable tied it away. Heater hoses are clear although i heat wrapped mine and clear's the ABS fine. No clearance problems anywhere.

I had no clearance problems with my R33, but the gate pipe was sitting way too close to the aircon lines, so i cut it and adjusted the angle slightly and it sits better now. That part could do with a slight redesign tho.

the photos aren't that clear on his eBay site.... but is the wastegate port perpendicular to the flow of the outlet?

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
