Hi everyone!!

Finally the mods are starting to get fitted, its more exciting than xmas ...just one more sleep :) .

The hi flo turbo and rest of the zorst is being fitted tommorow but something is bugging me, shouldnt i really be upgrading the exhaust manifold too? how restrictive is the stock one? has anyone replaced theres (apart from the hi mount turbo guys) ?

Cheers

stock manifolds are excellent bits of kit, good for 300rwkw i think i read.

No doubt, your stock one will be cracked. They almost all are, thats cast iron for ya.

300Rwkw?? thats impressive, ok so no point spending the extra bux on that then

Cheers

was chasing a quote on the manifold, before i posted ...just had the call back with the quote... $980 + fitting, is this a serious quote?? i could be nieve but this aint a HKS, Greddy etc brand and its a low mount not a hi mount with external wastegate mountings .....so is this a bit steep or what??

.... i told em i would leave it for now cheers for the previous info guys

Cheers

dont need a manifold lee, waste of time, and dont bother with the china rubbish either. a good trust one or something is over $1500 for the manifold plus fitting (for a highmount anyway), so i'd imagine low mount is same price roughly as its still the same amount of runners and flanges. save the cash and stocky will be fine :)

yeah i know... i argued with the guy over the phone then went to see what his was talking about, we even got the auto electrician to have a look to see if we could move the aircon pipe.

Turned out to be cheaper to just buy a new bell mouth dump pipe, if i hadnt seen it myself i would still be going off at the guy ...but there was no way it was gonna fit ... i was gonna try the force approach till he quickly reminded me i would probably break the line. :P

He did say it was possible part way thru production there way have been a change in the aircon design or manufacturer or of coarse mine may have been replaced/repaired ..who knows but that may have caused the problem.

Hopefully today it will all be done, and i have a spare one if anyone wants one :dry:

      PAR specifically offers stock ratios in their gearset and you could do whatever ratios are physically possible supposedly for no extra cost. I agree 6 ratios is better than 5, the factory 2nd gear is equivalent to the Getrag 2nd gear if you account for the differing final drive ratio though. The Getrag 3rd gear with a 3.916 final drive is equivalent to a 1.6 2nd gear in the FS5R30A. I'm about to swap the transmission out on my car, I'm tempted to send the one I have now out for rebuild with the standard "cross ratio" gearsets out there to see if it really makes such a big difference the next time I pull the transmission.

      Max horse power stock internals?

      This is what I was looking at next:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/engines/tomei/tomei-rb26-28l-short-block-assemblies-p-45479.html as we can’t bore the cylinders out in hk so better just buy the whole lot in one and install then retune. Everyone saying the weak link are the bolts holding the rods together. I already did valve springs, arp head bolts, hks racing coils, nismo fuel pumps and pressure regulators, injectors etc for the top of the engine.

      IMO I would stop there but it's up to you. At the power numbers you're asking about the stock 05U block will start showing issues. Even an N1 block might not be enough. PRP is trying to do blocks and heads that will be ready for big power right out of the gate but it remains to be seen whether any of that is any good. It might be great. It might be awful. It's hard to say until enough people have gotten their hands on one and run it for extended periods.

      My whp was 418whp and 518hp crank on 98 octane fuel. So decent numbers.
