Just got my car tuned with this on, it made an extra 15KW, however i also changed the intake manifold too so i dont know how much of that is attributted to the exhaust mani. Peak power is now at 7000 to 7500 from 6400 so the RB20 loves to rev !

Only issue is that being a low mount mani you are very limitted to the size of the turbo you can put in there.

I haven't seen a new one for sale ever. Only second handers. Best to keep an eye out in the fs threads and yahoo auctions/talk to slidewize (forum sponsor) if anything pops up.

You can fit a pretty big turbo down there :D make note of the hammer in the right of shot though. Power steering reservoir was relocated after this shot to clear the hot pipe and intake.

What info on the intake manifold? I've hardly seen any, actually, I don't think I've seen one at all..

What make is yours?

What are some s/s manifolds that HKS offer. Either I'm a f***wit, or I just can't find bugger all in regards to intake manifolds... I can find exhausts manifolds left right and center, but nothing intake.... :)

I think we have the wires crossed, theres no such thing as a s/s intake manifold, were talking about ex manifolds

lol...

Ok... Well on that note, if I may ask, is there much around in terms of after market intake manifolds...

I wouldn't worry about the T4 setup, you can redrill and tap for a T3. Mine has been done like that. And you'll find that a lot of the s/h ones are cracked at the pulse splitter. This is normal [or so I've been informed].

I'd snaffle that one for $700, they are rare-ish. Although I got one from importbitz s/h.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
