I have a twin turbo pipe and also trying to get a Plenium from a 33 gtr, and i want to polish them up.

I want to polish out the ummm grain i guess you can call it to make it smooth and not bumpy and lumpy.

What would i need to use to sand that out of it?

Im not even thinking about getting it shinny till i have it smooth as smooth.

How?

thanks

That pipe still looks like its gota light glaze / polish from factory.

I guess if you sand it back to the bare metal you can use Metal Polish and just polish it like the same way you polish your car body paint.

Or ask Craved (Chris), he's usually got some good tips.

Last time he suggested to me some sorta silicon spray polish.

^^ read :P

alot of work, i have since found that a scotch brite pad on a grinder will help start off the sanding/grinding process without digging into the surface or putting many deep scratches in the metal.

you are looking at alot of work though :D

hot it with heavy sand paper to smooth it out, then hit it with something like this

to clear out the sanding marks in from the last step

then back to 400 grit

you can tell now why its not cheap to polish stuff haahaha

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.

      With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?

      This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House
