I just purchased one of these, i was tossing up between it and the nice shiny JUN style ones on E-bay, i know these are a bit crappy, but worth a try for the price, i am not expecting allot when it arrives.

i am just disapointed i never got in on the SAU group buy... i think it's $195 delievered.. not bad... when i had to pay $350... if it is any good i will buy another $200 one as a spare if it does crack or break...

My only concear is if it does crack that bits of cast will go straight into my engine... I guess we'll have to wait and see...

When get mine i will take pics of the whole job...

As for the post above, is it worth it? well i dunno it will only be in my racecar 33.. It's motor is starting to get a bit sad and we've got 2 spare stocko det motors without accesories... i am really just interested to see what difference they make and what quality they are...

i will let you all know... lol

iterested to see results,

has anyone fittted one to an r34 gtt yet? i think you would need to change iac valve to r33 style and injectors. any one know if anything else needs to be modified to make it fit and r34?

ssame as the 'stryder' ones. The bell mouths are hard up against the plenum walls, making them largely useless

Raised/tuned length bell mouths are only practical for Naturally Asperated engines, raising the bell mouth on a forced induction setup is useless.

I wouldn't call those rings in that plenum "bell mouth".

I think you are correct about the bell mouths, they are only of real benifit during negative pressure, although perhaps someone can confirm that they don't so anything under boost situations? They help offset the issue with having a bigger plenum volume to some extent, that has a negative effect on vacume situations in NA mode.

I wouldn't call them bell mouths either execpt that the manufacterer claims that they are, and they sort of look like them although very crap versions.

Klenn thank you for report.

Does it have a nipple (or a hole for a nipple) for turbo water-feed near cyl. No 6?

Where is your washer bottle now? Is it relocated or totaly removed?

Um no it didnt have a nipple(if its the one im thinking about-the one that runs parallel with the fuel rail and has a nipple right at the back??) it does not have that but from what I can remember it was not really nessary and the coolant running through there would have heated up the manifold more. I just run a pipe underneath & connected it up. I also left the coolant pipes off the t/b aswell.

Um I made the i/c pipe quite tight so it goes straight down the standard washer will not fit you could use a smaller 1 off another car, I chose to make 1 out of perspex with a swinging lid so I can fill it with ice it & put another washer motor in for i/c sprayer.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
