First problem i can see with that is the 90 degree silicone joiner from the turbo outlet...the radiating heat of the s/s manifold will weaken the back part of the joiner and it will eventually blow through :laugh:

Two race meets our one lasted, then i had to tig an ally 90 pipe on to replace it. Not having a go at your setup...it looks very nice. Just giving some warning. Being a street car, it might hold up alot longer, but my money is still on that it will go sometime. Maybe wrapping the manifold? Could help.

Very nice though :wub:

I would have to agree.

Also what exhaust manifold are you using?

Same thing happened to mine on front straight at PI.

Very hard to figure out when it first happens coz you can see the crack until you start pulling things off

I would also agree, based on personal expirience, i went through 2 90 degree bends :P

The heat from the exhaust housing just burned a hole through the silicone in a matter of weeks.

And fullboost @ 4500 :teehee:

I bet fullboost = 5psi

You will need to replace that 90 degre bend as i have had the same issues...

I have also found that the chinese manifold ok to around the 280-300rwkw area but anything more than that and they will crack and bend. The stainless is just not strong enough to hold anymore heat...

Also you want to insulate your down pipe from the back of the turbo with heat tape to aviod affecting you air conditioning pipe work...

Other than that, she looks great...

The dump pipe is thermo wrapped....i tried to tell him to ceramic coat the manifold but he likes the bling factor. The manifold is no cheap "chinese knock-off" either its a well constructed local item with the runners extending right through the flange plate to the ports...it could have had a support tab welded to each runner for added strength though.

EDIT: many thanks to GCG who provided us with the "bolt on" water and oil feeds...."bolt on" yeah right!

HAHAHAHA

GCG supplied me some 'bolt on' water and oil feeds....

The oil return is not really designed with a high mount in mind. As it touchs the manifold so im gonna have to run the turbo on a slight angle to make it all work with out burning anything... :whistling:

Arhhh i could not see the rear... I just assumed it was not done...

PS. I am using a chinese manifold and she is working quite well but have been told not to push it too far...

Im only after 270 or 280rwkw anyways...

      They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By MBS206 · Posted

      With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.

      Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath
