Hi Guys

I have purchased a pair of hi flow stainless manifolds for my R32 gtr to use with my steel wheeled turbos. The dilema I am facing however is that even though these manifold fit up to the turbos - the opening on the flange of manifolds is about 30% larger than the opening on the exhaust housing on my steel wheeled std turbos. My concern is that while the manifolds themselves may have superior flow the benefit will be lost by the "disturbance" in gas flow cased by the "step" in between the mating flanges.

My initial thought was to revert to standard manifolds - as they should still flow well enough fo all that I would be able to achive with my turbos. HOWEVER - I would love to use these manifolds - and had entertained thoughts of "porting" the flange on my turbo exhaust housing, though it has been since suggested that this would mess with A/R ratio and is not advisable (?).

Ultimately - I want to do whatever I can to help with turbo spool up / minimise lag. (henceforth staying with standard turbo housings).

Opinions on this matter would be most welcome.

Thanks

Steve

how about fiting a plate in between the two surfaces which could then be shaped or ground out from one size to the other. it would have to be probably be atleast on inch thick though and this would effect the height of the turbos or possibly be a space issue. if you have the space though it might work :)

The manifolds give no gain, better of keeping the stockers.

I've had that drilled into my brain for months now :) hehehe

If you were running a big housing turbo, different... but look @ the size of the stock housing... you dont get to fit much in there increasing the flow to the housing wont work so well as its only gonna fit through there at a certain rate

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
