Nah mate im up in Townsville North qld

Its coming with a turbo so if i dont use it its no biggy Ill just put turbo on stock manifold

I dont even know what kinda increase there would be if any ,its just ill have it and thought why not

heys I've checked with a certain performance shop mechanics, he said if whatever manifold you getting is good quality, it'll fit exactly...

however chances are your manifold will be made in China, there'll be a bit off missmatch, you just have to bore a wider hole for some........

also as you purchase the manifold you have to make sure 3 things

1- all surfaces are flat, the flange where the manifold connects to the engine block and the connection to the turbo (sit the surface on the ground to check, machine them if they are slightly curved)

2-The manifold lengths have to be relatively simmilar, if you have two longer outer pipes and a much shorter inner pipes it will cause some heating and backpressure problem in the inner manifold

3- where the external wastegate pipe is welded on, make sure the position is where all the 6 pipes joined. Some manifolds have their external wastegate inlet welded onto one pipe only. Not a good idea as the pressure from the remaining 5 manifolds will not be released, causing overboosting problem

and performance wise, it is not recomended to change unless necessary such as changing into top mount turbo

cheers

thanks

yeah I would only put on there for wank factor (ooohhh shiny parts )

but im going stealth with my car so ill stick with stock looking stuff

it keeps the popo from harassing me

and ive only got a target power goal of 240 - 250rwkws so its not going to help me much having it on there

so ill sell it and get my 480cc injectors

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
