Carl,

People also report a much nicer sound and more throttle response. Do you get this?

I love a car that leaps off the line and goes from 60-80-100 in a jump.

T.

Dam thats a good result bigcarl :uh-huh:

T0nyGTSt I don't know if it was the bigger turbo or better cooler pipes and cooler(I did it all at once) but I noticed it revved quicker and has a meaty sound :uh-huh: but that could be the bigger exhaust housing?

I had to get both of my manifold faces faced coz it was a little out also.

It also mounted the turbo in the stock position sort of :freak: just the exhaust mounts had to be bent about 10mm towards the front coz it did'nt line up.

yea i saw the r31 gtsr manifold on a single turbo rb26 set up. was wondering how close the turbo would be to its original position. looked like you might be able to swing the compresser housing round and the dump would get close.

were could ya find one?

semi good news about the china mani's hey, they work but seems like ya end up spending extra on them patching them up. In the end it might be worth while getting a brand name. Im still not sure so ill wait and see the results, keep us posted guys!

and another question guy's what size turbos are you putting on these things. my turbo has a .6 ar compresser housing and to get it to fit onto the stock manifold i had to cut the heat sheld and angle grind the thrid runner to get it to fit. (as u can kind of see in my avtar)

If these china manifolds give more room with the design would be great.

with mine everything lined up perfect, im running hi flow stock turbo. we found that boost could also be turned up to 20psi with no pinging but one of my stock coil packs started to break down but once i rectify this will be making close to 240rwkws.

interesting results....

although i always have been under the impression that exhaust runners that are tuned length jobs always outperform the standard .. suppose that goes without saying really.

as u really want the gas to arrive at the turbo at the same time .. helping spool up and reponsiveness. basically?? if these so called "tuned length" aussie designs were tuned length the results would show .. obviously they dont know what there doing then??

might give one of these china manifolds a go eventually. anyways. pity they dont have them for external gated setups.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
