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)

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
