You guys are funny! :blush: if you wanna do something with your exhaust manifolds, port out the stocks. they wont crack in 12 months time like stainless. Do it now while your turbos are off.

arep3,

second on that!

For better response besides changing the manifold, grind off the bulging / hump part of the cylinder head. Port and polish it. Port match the ex manifold to the cylinder head.

You will feel the response to be much better after doing this.

do you actually read hpi? find me one car, or one add for neons.

its a magazine, im not taking what they say as gospel, but its more believable then alot of other bullshit that gets posted on here...

No I don't buy or read it. I'm sure it's a good magazine. I am being an idiot :P

finally we can agree on something.

anyway, if you guys are referring to the magazine article when you say it needs to be tuned, the car already had the extra bits, it was tuned with the PFC to make the 306kw, then they pulled the parts off and ran it again, dont know what was done tuning wise before replacing with stock parts

Read the article this arvo, I don't believe the cars initial tune made the most of the upgraded components, not saying it wasn't tuned tho.

Oddly tho they said they put the stock gtr exhaust, I was always under the assumption that this was quite restrictive for 300 odd Kw application, and often one of the first mods worthwhile on any car :P

They also said 'peak power' barely change, but mods like cams aren't always aimed at peak power, often mid range or low end improvement is what people are after.

But overall I would agree that manifolds on the GTR only need replacing in high HP setups, often after more crucial components have been sorted first.

Guys if you wanna do your exhaust manifolds, look up / Google power porting or extrude honing. Power porting is Aussie! Extrude Honing is American technology... You can guess which 1 ill be getting done.

dont upgrade parts on your gtr, it will go faster. r31nismoid said so.

unfortunately for you spillmer he's 100% correct :P

this time

extrude honing the stockers will keep heat in the gas path due to the thick walled construction of the cast items. Ceramic coating them in the proper 'High temp black' (not the fancy chrome crap) is something that will help too.

We have actually had to do this several times.....The results are heart-breaking.....

Examples

360kw HKS 2530 equipped GTR- Remove stainless hks manifolds because they were cracked and replace with stock items. - Result: Identical dynograph and power

375kw Garrett -5 equipped GTR - Remove standard manifold and dumps, replace with Tomei items. - Result: Absolutely identical dynograph and power.

These examples are great because the ONLY change was the items mentioned nothing else.

The tunes were also subsequently tickled but showed the same results.

Surely it can't be....they look sooo nice. :D

heart breaking...and knuckle breaking...i did this job twice on the weekend. Put balance pipe manifolds on my car Ben...it seems to have softened it up a little. see thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ba...-R-t218709.html will be dynoing it friday too see what just that change has done.

See? Benno says stock manifolds are good.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
