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...

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
