Tomei / Hks Turbo Elbows, No Provisons For Stock Support Braces?

Looking at on line photos of HKS and Tomei turbo elbows there does not appear to be any boss to bolt the stock pressed steel braces to them, which go down to the engine block, to help unload the manifolds. Do their makers not allow for these braces to be used then? Thanks.

those standard braces run off the dump pipes, not the intake/turbo elbows. and many aftermarket dumps dont allow for them because they require a large extension to the dump's flange.

Here in the UK the dump pipes are commonly called the turbo elbows, and it's those to which I was referring. I believe the HKS ones have provision for the stock braces, which I really would like to continue to use, I don't suppose anyone has any decent photos of an HKS "dump" do they? Thanks for the reply.

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
