Looks like a nice job.

Are there flutes on the intake runners (inside the plenum)? Just thought flutes would be a worthwile addition, prolly help smooth the flow into the runners and may help with top end power.

If I had the time/resources/interest to develop such a thing it would have two plenums 123-456 fed by two throttle valves . I believe it would stand a much better chance of even distribution over each set of three cylinders and halve the reversion problems . The 153624 order would draw from front back front back etc plenums . Engines such as the four cam twin plenum VG30 do it a bit like that though if memory serves me correctly they have a throttled balance pipe as well . The Porsche flat sixes have had separate plenums from the beginning . Difficult to package on a straight six Skyline but sometimes these things work . Nissan dualled everything else on the RB26 except the plenum and intercooler so who's will be the first ?

Cheers A .

I would not build a manifold based on looks. It is a large capacity plenum with large runners and TB because a ton of air is being moved through it. The runners are 51mm ID, and they taper down to the stock flange (this speeds up air vel.) which will be port matched to the ported head. The opening of each runner is radiused out to from 2" to 3.5" for max flow and smooth transition. This is not going on a street car.

Not sure if you're serious about the welds, but they're all sanded out. None are visible.

Our MA70 supra came with the 7M-GTE 3.0 turbo. We swapped it out in favor of the 1UZ.

You do realise that sanding welds smooth takes away a good portion of its strength? That material looks about 10-12mm thick in most places, you could have mig welded the whole thing, except where you welded the runners to the flange i guess you prob tig'd them on. or did youz tig the whole thing together??

Tig'd both inside and out. Same material and technique used on our fire truck parts (rated over 500 psi)

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
