I'm just gonna get right down to it
Was running a poorly built 1 1/4" steam pipe log manifold made with pipe tee's and 90s... It cracked all to shit in a matter of 1000 miles (guy didn't know what he was doing/no purge etc)
He's a couple pics of the log

Like I said within 1000-1500 miles it was cracked to shit!!!!

yea its not tuned yet. My tuner is actually a very good friend of mine from way back.... He's so unbelieveably busy with his business and flying planes (second job) we haven't had the time to tune it yet. I switched to AEM (map) from an L-Jet Power FC so we gotta start all over.

we'll see how these ID's like 80psi base fuel pressure.

I had the gate dumping under the car for a while than we recirc'd it into the DP. I think it will sound much better with this manifold over the log style though.

Its getting so late in the season here Im really not rushing it.... I don't know if it will be 100% until spring at this point, we'll see.

PS.... anyone notice its not a GT-R? :)

hows the boost control?

It's a 60mm gate

Shouldn't be an issue

Hard to tell in pictures but it's the pipe to the gate is over 2.5inches

Using a Greddy Profec-B spec 2 solenoid with the AEM V2

(The downpipe is 90mm/3.5in and the IC pipe is 3in)

Looks great.

You may have boost control issues when the screamer fills with snow though... :P

LOL Nahhhh, by the time the motor is warm enough to crack gate the snow will have melted and the gate unfrozen.

Besides, one blast of that gate will blow anything out of the way lol

:thumbsup: approved!!

wonder if the log manifold was done with the wrong filler rod?

I know he didnt backpurge..... he also didnt bolt it to steel plate while welding either so the flange kept warping pretty hard.

I will post vids when the time comes but its so late in the season now It might not be until spring/April

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
