How many ponies did it produce?

500 before it blew the welsche plug out, hasnt had full tune done since

How could that happen, unless the joiner is before the turbo (intake pipe)?

yeh intake pipe, the blue 90deg one in the pic

Has anyone seen a low mount tubalar manifold with external gate? I already have height clearances issues and am afraid a high mount manifold will exacerbate the problem :(

I realise that external gate on low mount will be pushing it for clearance down there but thought someone out there might have come up with a manifold design I can buy off the shelf :P

Clearance on a low mount is not the only problem, you also have to consider accessibility of the bolts/nuts/hoses/etc for installation/fitment.

I really wanted a low mount manifold, but once i starting thinking about installation, etc. i decided to go high mount. Most high mount manifolds (if built properly) would have the turbo sitting below the level of the cam covers, so i don't think clearance is an issue; unless you're fitting a 800+hp turbo.

Only looking at fitting a GT35R and by clearance I meant for everything.. including ratchet and spanner access :P

The majority of the manifolds I have found when looking about have the turbo sitting a good couple of inches above the cam cover. If anyone knows of any specific high mount manifolds that aren't too high.. please, enlighten me :D

I am using a custom low mount manifold with a garret 35/40 and 48mm external wastegate, it has clearance everywhere, but it is a bit of a tight squeeze.

I preffer the low mount for lower engine bay heat temps as the hot air can escape out the bottom of the car. All factory turbo setups are low mount, there is a good reason for this.....

Im making my own low mount, GT35R, Got my flanges all drawn in cad (as close to match ported as possible-RB26), & laser cut using 12mm plate for all 3 flanges & steam pipe bends. Will take some pics when I start it. Do have a spare set of flanges to if anyone is interested, also have the cad drawing to get more cut if needed.

bearclaw? is that the model one up from the cameltoe and two up from the mooseknuckle? (you know..."mooseknuckle, because cameltoe has an ugly sister") (sorry)

just ordered the ATI damper i've been umming and aahing about, $500 landed on special from Summit Racing in the US. best i could find was about $745 here, if anyone's interested get in while the dollar is flying high.

cheers

hey wat throttle body do u run with the greddy style plenium ?

80 or 90mm ?

also for those with aftermarket comps do u use the MAF sensor ? or do i need a Q45AFM or a Z32 afm ?

also

i need to know what turbo + manifold i should get ? - high mount or lowmount in a R31 skyline.

internal or external waste gate?

i was considering this.

but i was told to stay away from it ?

also going to be runnin tomei poncams.

i think the greddy style ones are for q45 TB's but you can get an adapter for a stock TB

and i would definately stay away from that turbo

Also for aftermarket TB's and fuel rails you can try Buzz Engines in Brisbane. They have done some nice work. http://www.buzzengines.com/

I need to get a decent fuel rail for the 26/30 as I'm running Delphi 680cc injectors and the O ring setup is not optimal with the GTR rail.

thats also something id like to make on our cnc's when they are up and running properly some billet fuel rails....im in love with these machines and they arent even setup fully and running...however next week they tell me!

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
