HERE ARE SOME PICS OF MY RB25 WITH A T04Z TURBO AND IT JUST FITS VERY CLOSE TO ROCKER COVER HAD TO GRIND A BIT AWAY BUT OTHER WISE LOOKS SCHMICK HOPE IT GOES WELL

nice work "Sticky"

[Topaz]

Damn that looks nice an sug and shmick with the stainless exhaust.

What sorta power figure are you looking with that?

[r33_racer]

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

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

HOPE TO GET 380 TO 400 RWKW

[INASNT]

No power before 5000rpm

IVE SEEN ANOTHER RB25 WITH TO4Z IT MADE FULL BOOST AT 4500RPM WITH .81 REAR HOUSING

Awesome shit, Dave!

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

[R31Nismoid]

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

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

And fullboost @ 4500

I bet fullboost = 5psi

IT WAS 12 PSI

[INASNT]

pfft hahahahah, not even in its efficiency range at 12psi

[R31Nismoid]

12psi somehow wont get you 380rwkw

[Sweet T]

Looks like a china racing manifold to me

[Col-GTSX]

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...

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...
