My Turbos are ment to be finshed and back to me by next week (only been like 2 months)

I'm considering upgrading the exhaust manifold while the turbos are off.

I saw the Tomei kit on nengun for $1144 delivered Tomie Info, I thought it seemed pretty good. The kit comes with a heat Bandage, Clamps, and most importantly Stickers :D

But i'm also considering the UAS honed and heat treated stockers for $790 + delivery.

Is the tomie kit worth it, or is it just paying for a Jap brand? Or should I keep the stockers?

The reason I was wanting to upgrade is cause the exhaust housing on the turbos is ceramic coated (there the old 2530's from the Paul and Stacey's car), and I thought I might as well get heat treated manifolds to go with them.

Thanks

Id try the unique manifolds, as heat retention is the key to aiding gas velocity....and the thick walled cast manifolds do a superb job of doing that, do you know if they are ceramic coated as well?...good luck with the upgrade....those little turbo's sure were good for us...i hope they serve you well.

the UAS site says that they're HPC coated, is that ceramic?

Yep id go for them for sure, the coating is worth $300 a pair, the extrude honing is probably about the same. So to save yourself the trouble of doing it yourself....get em.

Looks as though they leave the lip into the turbine housing there. Wonder why? Cuts into the flow at least 4mm.

Tomeis look nice though. Investment cast tubing. Would be a real dilemma to decide.

The stock manifolds crack around the outlet if you remove much meat from there...that's probably why.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
