Item: HKS cast low mount manifold suit rb20/25, t3 flange

Age: Unknown, bought second hand 2 years ago

Condition: reasonable, manifold has a bit of residue from oil and wd40 from removal, some studs need replacing. It has a crack in the internal divider thats been there since i bought it but no external cracking. The mounting faces could do with a skim

Price: $850 ono now $550 ono

To Fit: Was fitted to an r32gtst with rb25.

Location: Eagle Vale NSW

Contact: by pm. prefer local buyer so that you can make an inspection prior to purchase

Comments: I've sold the turbo, pipes and wastegate, I'm a little surprised that everything else has sold and not this :(

Anyway, here's some pics of the bits.

I can vouch for this setup, pulls very hard.

I swear Dave if you had this up a week ago i might have jumped on it, but i just spent lots of time and money redoing all the gaskets around the stock turbo/manifold :)

How come you're getting rid of the manifold? Going high mount? Will be interesting to see how the 3071 compares.

Good luck with the sale, shouldn't take long. (apologies for the useless post :()

Thanks mate.

Only made the decision this afternoon. I figured i could sacrifice a bit of top end for a bit more bottom to midrange with improved transient response that comes with bb turbos and simplify the whole lot by going a proper garrett IW housing on the stock manifold. It's also a bit less weight over the front wheels and water cooled which can only be a benefit on the track.

I got the same setup about to go into my R32 and these manifolds are an awesome design.

Just wondering if you will sell that dump pipe separately, as my kit is missing a dump pipe.

PM me if you will ;)

Abu, i've sent a pm. I don't really want to separate but i will consider separating the dump and wastegate pipe as i can't see it effecting the sale of the rest of the kit too much (especially for r33 owners). We can chat via pm.

Daryl, at this stage no, but by all means send me a pm and make an offer if you'd like. At the end of the day I can see me getting stuck with the turbo and no interest i if go down that path though.

Now $1,800.00 ono

I'm reaching a point where I'm willing to separate, so if you are after the manifold only or manifold and gate, send me a pm and we'll chat.

Just the one in the internal splitter mentioned in the first post.

I'll send you a pm later on with price and a pic if you'd like when i get home

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
