Gtr - Hi Flow Manifolds And Standard Turbos

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

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
