I'm curious to see how many people are running more than 300rwkw through the standard exhaust manifold, regardless of turbo.

Mine made 302rwkw @ 17psi with the std log and GT3076r .82 with 265 8.9mm lift cams. Can't run any more boost due to the internal flapper blowing open.

Two others on the same dyno but with a GT35r .82 both internal gate and with cams.

One cracked 330rwkw on 20 or 22psi with 265 9.3mm lift cams the other 18psi 312rwkw but he had smaller 260duration cams.

All on pump 98ron fuel and all are running an RB30det with the r32 rb25de head.

With WMI or 100+ron fuel no doubt it will be a different story. I have E85 down the road so first up going to fit a stiffer actuator and then retune on pump; Then throw larger injectors at it and push in some E85 to see what the lowly GT3076r can do.

However I have been told its a bad thing to be too restrictive (push the limits of the hot side too much) as you can induce a little valve float on the exhaust side and if pushed out at the track you may end up dropping a valve. Likely not to be evident on the dyno but once things all heat up top end power will be down and pop. :P

The GT3076 is only really good for 320rwkw on pump so it 'might' make the power a little easier with the extrude honed log.

I would be interested to see the GT35r .82 on the extrude honed exh. manifold.

Interesting. We should be pushing 330rwkw with a hiflow using the standard manifold. Depending on time I might do a back to back dyno run with the extrude honing, which hopefully dispels all the theories floating around. I'm not really fussed about overall power, its the dyno sheet curves that should tell the story.

Even if you don't see more peak power, I think you should see a smoother power delivery and an better fuel economy because the induction/emission system is operating more efficiently.

I have an extrude honed HKS cast low mount, but I don't have back to backs sorry. I had it honed before I installed, and I changed turbo's as well [hiflow to GT3076 WG]. I wasn't really looking for outright power, but as above.

Plus if in the future I do increase power [RB30 likely], my manifold is one less thing to think about.

PS I was on 290+ but had too much knock [no WMI], so reduced to 275.

Not necessarily. End of the day your governed by the rear housing port on the turbo.

Seen how small and tight it is at its smallest point? No matter how fast you get the air too or (or how much) its still limited simply to how much the rear housing can actually flow, more air you get there that cant flow, more pressure your creating everywhere

Well 330rwkw is the goal, I'll be happy with around 310 though. Full details on the turbo and its availability should be out as soon as all the parts are finalised. It will be sold as a complete kit including the front/dump pipe. More on this later...

Debatable I know but I reckon Garrett would be foolish to make petrol spec turbine housings with larger volute passages than the mount flanges inlet port could feed .

I know people fear the dreaded "turbine lag" but it's really the only way to reduce turbine inlet (exhaust manifild pressure) to a minimum . I still don't think it's sufficiently well understood that lowering the "TIP" nearly always allows you to run closer to best mean torque (BMT) timing numbers AND it helps pull up the bottom end torque previously gained from a lower boost threshold .

About the best relivant example I can think of is using the larger VG30 OP6 type turbine housing on RB25 turbos or the GCG Hi Flowed RB25 turbo . If tuned properly generally the power goes up because the TIP goes down , also when it does the waste gate gets an easier time because it's not trying to "throttle" the exhaust gas as much .

We all have to remember that a waste gate is a means of controlling compressor speed , it is not and cannot double as an exhaust side pressure relief valve - not if you want it to control compressor speed and therefore boost . They are referenced off positive inlet manifold (or comp housing) pressure and have complete disregard for TIP .

Sorry getting OT , end rant , cheers A .

Ive done a 10.2 @ 134mph in a street GTS4 through a totally stock unmodified RB20 cast exhaust manifold with a T3/T4 hybrid turbo and power was around 450awkw

Video's are on youtube under R.I.P.S GTS4

Rob

well, I Made 314rwkw at 18psi on a stock RB25 manifold, and with a GT3037 with a little 0.63 IW rear.

I've run it up to 22psi for a few months, made heaps more power but I never dyno'd it.

Everything seemed fine. Just remember, the bigger you go on the manifold, the more its going to add to lag.

a bit of a update on a old topic but...... i just spoke to Abrasive Flow Engineering who does or did work for uas on hone and extrude and his exact words are for a rb25det manifold.

"""don't wast your time and money they don't flow as good as a hks manifold ""

and

"""for $900 to extrude and hone i would go and get some thing better"""

f#%$ me.this is from the guy who does them while some companies are begin for work due the the $$$$ crises this guy has shocked the sh#@ out of me so ..........after reading this post and many like it over the years and looking at the figures people have posted on flow have we all been grossly mislead by people in the industry have figures been made up for the trusting customer.

what is one to thing !!!!!!!

I am interested to know if the place doing the extrude hone has a flow bench. If they don't have a flow bench,then dispite what the bloke might of told you , he wouldn't be in a position to know anything.

If they do then that could save people some money for sure.

Trident.. Get some cams in to it. I was able to push in a heap more ignition following the cams. Unless your running the .6 rear I forget.

Old one, but I had and still have cams Tomei 256/8.5mm units maybe a bit mild but hey!!!

I also have the larger exhaust housing 0.82 so that is not the issue, it just dets, but I'm closer to my WMI kit now - just had to buy other [non car related] stuff first.

As I stated, I don't think you'll see any power benefit from extrude honing, what you should see is an improvement in efficiency = fuel economy/lower ramp levels/etc etc but it would all be marginal. And it didn't cost me $900 - sounds like we need more extrude hone businesses in town to raise the competition bar.

i believe i have the HKS manifold the Abrasive Flow guy extrude honed and flow benched.

before, it flowed more than the extrude honed standard RB25 manifold.

after, the runners flowed more and the % difference in flow was much narrower.

the goss i heard on Abrasive Flow is he has been busy doing LPG installs and has been flat out, therefore doing something profitable while oil prices were higher (apologies if this info is incorrect).

That was one of the biggest benefits [if your car could use it], the difference across the runners. The HKS cast low mount has the best results for a manifold both in outright flow and balance for each runner.

However I must qualify that by stating that not all exhaust manifolds have been tested. The test results I found [on the UK GTR web site???? and this was like several years ago] only compared a well known stainless steel top mount, a std cast unit and the HKS item. It compared them all before and after extrude honing, but some of the top end units being made by the likes of 6boost and GCG may well flow just as good........we just don't know.

Wished I'd cut and pasted that results table now, would have made good reference material.

Wolverine I honestly think you have the best known system if you have a HKS cast low mount, there is none better [there may be some that equal, but we don't know].

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
