you wont find a better way to get optimal boost control, it will literally cut off as soon as the gate opens where most spike then tapper back down

Fair enough. Regulating boost is one thing, but i would be more worried about turbulence in the housing from having a 32mm (guesstimate) branch coming out of the side. The scroll sees a change in velocity, diameter etc. I figure it would be the last place you want to disrupt air by making it go one way or another (isnt that a fault with internal wastegate housings...the air has to turn at a tangent to the main flow of air?)

Anyway, could be on of those things that in theory is wrong in application or doesnt matter in the real world ???

i agree...but in a wide open throttle drag car on a transbrake i don't think it would really affect performance.

Hi Mate. The stock turbo never went anywhere near 300kW at the wheels. When the story in HPI was written, the 300kW comment came from me being asked how much power I thought it made to run 120mph. With its weight at the time and the terminal speed, I came up with a figure of just on 400hp at the engine - I converted this to kW for the benefit of HPI and that was that. The most the car ever made on a chassis dyno was 265kW (see attached graph). Without the nitrous, the car made just over 190kW (255hp) at the wheels which is about right for a maxed out standard turbo on a half-decent pump fuel tune. (I know that others have made more than that by 20 or 30kW)

Good luck with the rebuild, mate. It sounds like it should be a good thing. Make sure you take it to the track.

shit eh, i wonder when the gas kicks in :)

Are you going to use the NOS shot with the new setup?? Again, I suspect this is going to be a damn fast car soon.

Not straight away but yes.

What was the reason you went for the gate on the housing?

Optimal boost control.

Also, did the manifold get match ported to the head? In the pics it seems as though the exhaust ports are very round, doesnt seem to be the typical shape?!?!?!

Not exactly but I'm happy enough with that they've done to the head for it not to matter. Plus there are enough RB's out there running this type of manifold with results on the board that I would be stoked to replicate.

I sit back and think of your car back in 2000 when it was sitting at BD4s and was getting punted at tracks with corners smile.gif

A racetrack is no place for corners.

lol yeah a sad decline. I'm working with Paul that originally owned this car at the moment - he's currently got a golf gti and has had about 5 cars since he sold this one - I reckon he is still missing it

I heard he went gokart racing instead?!? WTF?

looks like a killa setup your peicing together dude, cant wait to see the results

Thanks man - me too!

i just want to know how the grape pikelets with maple ricotta went?

mmmmm....yummo!

Fair enough. Regulating boost is one thing, but i would be more worried about turbulence...velocity....tangent.....blah blah....snip!

I don't think it matters in terms of the application.

shit eh, i wonder when the gas kicks in :P

The people watching at the dyno day weren't expecting that to happen. Least of all John P @ UAS.

Picked up the new manifold and modified exhaust housing today. Both the manifold and exhaust housing have been coated with the latter being modified to accept the 50mm Turbosmart Pro Gate. They look sensational. Leigh from Extreme Turbo Manifolds does exceptional work! Couldn't be happier!!!

Completed assembly:

If it has this plate, it rocks!

Beat that!

does leigh do the coating, or did you get it done somewhere else? i'm thinking of getting a manifold off 6boost, what do people think?

Leigh organised all the coating, i just collected the finished products. There are a heap of fast cars out there using ETM and 6BOOST gear but i can only comment on the exceptional work of ETM.

So do fake cars with fake motors that don't exist. :D

Tell everyone the truth, you just find photos on the net, and post them up saying it's your car!

ahhaha

the real 2RISMO is no where to be seen!

Bwaahahaha!!

My secret shame, I guess :)

Would you believe we had to buy Bobo's beer for him as he was (is) a starving actor?

Check this weapon out!

And jase, I went straight from the 49FWkW Mirage to the Skyline. Everything else has been daily drivers in the mean time.

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛

      Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
