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 :)

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.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
