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

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
