seeing as i dropped my turbo today heres some of Scottys work

look at that entry path, how could it not work well....;)

That's some mighty fine workmanship there. Exactly as you stated how could that NOT work. Perfect gas flow both ways. Why would you bother running a waste gate off your manifold when you can have that :)

heres mine for a single gated TS

haha yep sure is, its mounted on the 0.82TS gt30 bolted to a low mount 6boost, extreme stealth :ph34r:

No it's off the housing Artz, so you found someone up there to fab my design ideas Mark? Looks great. Had it tuned yet?

I did a T67 this way not long ago, no results though. Using the gate as the bend makes the path as straight as it can be, especially if plumbing the screamer back.

Yeah i decided to just leave it in at a workshop, came highly recommended by MTQ, very appreciative of your fab ideas scotty, and to ARTS

for the Xspurts injectors ideas, :cheers:

will be a few weeks before its tuned, still got a few things to do yet but hopefully will start it up for the first time on the weekend :woot:

Heya Mark,

Does the dump/turbo setup touch any of the stock A/C lines or the A/C drain rubber hose? I've seen a few setups that end up toasting the A/C rubber drain..

and low mount looks teh secks... MOAR photos :)

its not touching any A/C lines but its close as you can see in the pics, i think insulating all the wires and a/c lines will be a good idea, im not finished yet,

going to do a proper heatshield over the manifold and then a big cold air intake box and feed plus painting all pipes black,

to me , it almost looks kind of stockish looking? or kinda close as these mods can be, the 4inch intake is a beauty :whistling:

Is that the manifold thats a real PITA to fit ?

Cheers A .

I don't see any probems,

although the ceramic coating was a slight PITA, had to sand it off in places to get the housing back on.. :closedeyes:

By the way, I've got my wastegate mounted on my housing as well. Unfortunately it's not welded on as well as the one Scotty did, mine is at 90 degrees to the exhaust flow. It still holds boost in a perfectly flat line though, no creep. Will upload a graph on Tuesday/Wednesday when it is hopefully holding ~23psi dead flat ;)

that's interesting that it works on a 90deg angle, my tuners had situations like that where 6boost manifolds have had the gate at 90degrees and it will start boosting up to a bar with the gate not even attached but then theres guys that have zero problems, i didn't want to take any chances so i put the gate on the housing to make sure.

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
