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 :)

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.

    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
    • The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
