oil breathers, the back pipe that goes from the fitting on the plenum to the black fittings that are on the top of the engine, on the cam covers, then to the intake.

aac valve feed. the 20-25mm pipe at the back of the engine that usually goes on a fitting just before the throttle body on the stock pipe. without this your cars idle wont be stable.

i'll put up picks in the next week or so of the 2 rb20's ive done ic piping one.. im in the process of doin fmic piping on a rb20 silvia at the moment.. after thats done i'll try get pics up

im not actually a fan of that style of ic piping with the factory manifolds but looks ok.. be sure to put up pics once you've finished.

sounds good, just not much detail in your first post :thumbsup:

what material did you use thats so thin? most alloy tubing i see is pretty thick

it was 1.6mm half of it is the stock pipe and i bought a 180 DEGREE bend it was hard to weld because it was a buut joint and you need the rightn pulse and frequincy along with the correct amps of course

shit yer ,man that looks nice are you a fabricator of some sort or is this just week end work either way very nice work

thanks not quailited just done alot and lot of work with in the metal industry as a labourer.. did start doin an apprentiship as a boily however i have umm how do you say it.. problems with authority lol

the piping jobs i do are more of a hobby and to help people out who have been quoted stupid bullshit prices for the work.. would probaly look at it more as a business adventure however theres just not enough work for it up here and not many people want to pay for a top job.. they'd rather spend 3/4 the price for a cheap shitty chinese supposely "bolt on" kit..

      Theoretical Power Numbers

      @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.

      Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.

      @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.

      @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
