ah that makes sense - cheers guys thanks for clearing up the terminology for me there! yeah If I'm gonna get this fitted then I figure I may as well splash out on the rest of the bits - engine is forged so if i'm gonna be running high boost settings then its spending a bit more.

oh and as for the cricket - we're always getting owned - the sports lethargy in our country is incredible.

hi mate

to be honest I'm really not sure at all - need to find that out myself - I take it your fitting one then rad32?

Just a quick update on mine guys... got me downpipe made up, got a Tial 44mm ext. wgate, got the tub, got the top mount manifold sorted, got a gtr style greddy plenum with adaptor plate for throttle, got the gaskets n bits for fitting so I'm good to go! happy new year by the way ppl!

ant

yeh i am fitting,

got all my stock shit off and trial fitted the hks cast low mount manifold and then went to put the turbo under it...

BAM, no go. doesnt even get close to the studs...

hitting on almost everything your could imagine.

so im stuck at looking at where its hitting and getting my angle grinder out..

  • 2 weeks later...

Ant have you put yours on yet? It'll be interesting to see what power you end up with.

In two or three weeks I get offsite and back to uni, and I'll be hopefully putting the tweakit.net full kit on, so that'll be excitin'.

Interested to see how everybody goes with this =D

hi guys I haven't had chance to fit mine yet - still waiting for my garage to get released.. shouldn't be long now tho - end of feb I get it wootage. I have a top mount manifold, gt3076R, properly jigged up downpipe and ext. wgate 44mm. I also have a greddy plenum sat waiting to go on with the lot. My engine is fully forged and most things are port n polished. gonna get myself some ponscams for the finishing touch and I have 550cc injectors in the car too.

heres a coupla pics of the bits I've got so far...

please excuse the parachute and jumpsuit its all resting on in some pics lol.. missus said she'd ave me if I got any bedsheets mucky lol!

that looks like a twin scroll T4 manifold?

best thing to do would be identify what you have, then buy a new exhaust housing to suit that manifold OR a manifold to suit that turbo.

I cant see a port for the wastegate on that manifold? does it have one?

NYTSKY - can you explain further please how having two ports from the manifold to the turbo will not work? Thats not meant to sound short or curt... just interested in your thoughts on that. Surely if the air is exiting the manifold and entering the turbo its going to spin right?

the manifold is indeed T4 - however those pics are a bit old - As Worp3D there said.. I've had a T3 plate welded onto the T4 one. Its increased the height by about 12-15mm I think ...is that really going to affect things massively? The manifold was bought from Owen developments in the uk and is for an RB25det so it should be fine surely?

Also the pics dont show it but the manifold has a take off pipe (dunno what the proper name is) for the ext. wgate to fit onto. Normally this would be vta but I've asked for a pipe to be fitted on the downpipe so it plumbs back into the exhaust.. I didn't fancy being a magnet for every cop with sharp ears in a 5 mile radius.

I'll try n get some pics up of the stuff later guys but for today I'm off to lob myself from planes lol.

yes it was welded on but I think they had to drill the holes a touch wider.

there is a pipe for the ext. wgate - its on the other side of the manifold lol. Basically the pipe off the manifold & the pipe off the downpipe connect to the wastegate instead of the wgate venting to atmos.

heres a couple of pics of the manifold that I found - again I'll try n get some more recent ones up later on :) there is actually a band for the wgate to connect to on the end of the ext. wgate manifold feed - same way there is one on the downpipe...

plenum too :( been wanting to fit this before now but worried its going to affect my airflow n mapping even tho my car is mapped quite rich to deal with the front entry plenum mod I have on now...

okay here's the pics of the downpipe and also the manifold with the adjustments..

downpipe has pipe for ext. wgate return instead of VTA

really wish I knew the correct terminology for all the pipe names lol!

Two different designs. Twin scroll is meant for twin scroll, single entry for single entry.

And you need to fix your pics.

cant see it making that much of a difference, if the manifold was single and the turbo twin then it would, the biggest difference i think would be using the T3 flange over the top of a T4, that in its self would be a bigger restriction.

doh! bloody pc - should have the correct pics below now....

return V-band feed from ext. wgate back into downpipe...

p1030301.jpg

close up of t3 flange on t4. Its not the best pic and please excuse the packaging inside it! The flange was welded on and inside the 'walls' where the T4 goes to the T3 have been smoothed out to help the airflow into the turbo...

p1030303.jpg

close up of V-band adaptor on manifold for ext. wgate feed. (i think its called a V-band anyway)

p1030304.jpg

it all bolts together very nicely n neatly from what I've tried - bloody heavy mind.

Will a twin scroll really make that much difference in this application? I mean are we talking "it wont run" or "you'll lose a few bhp" ?

If the manifold is designed for a twin turbo setup then surely the manifolds would be more like the RB26DETT with two small manifolds instead of the one?

Anthony how's this all going? Have you managed to get it all on the car yet?

I'm picking up my 3076 in 3-4 days, with one of these v-band housings and an external gate, and I'm still desperately trying to work out what else I actually need for it? Everybody seems to have different opinions and the one dude who I was banking on to make a dump pipe doesn't answer his phone...

Anyway, very interested to see your results man =D

hi mate

this is gonna be starting at the end of this month - funds, and waiting for my garage to be given to me have meant its had to wait a little while. your gonna need the top mount manifold and then you can get a downpipe (dump pipe) made up with the turbo attached to the manifold. i've got a gtr style greddy plenum to go on too at the same time. looking forward to seeing the results. I think I'm gonna need some oil and water line making up and I imagine some alterations to my fmic pipework too. its gonna be off the road for a short while I think. I'll be sure to post update pics once I get going on it :)

    • Assuming the current ECU is stock, it might be worth getting hold of a nissan data scan cable. It could be as simple as voltage at the ECU
    • You need to test for spark when it matters - ie cranking. Kill the fuel supply, pull a plug and earth it, set up a camera and go crank. The spark needs to be consistent, every other turn of the engine. Not some sputtering of occasional spark. The reason I say this is because spinning the CAS in the air is not the same as spinning it installed, and if there is a bearing problem in it, the disk might work differently in the air than in the engine. You won't want to try to set the timing unless you know the spark is happening right.  Also, reconsider running the R35 coils against the stock ECU. They like a different amount of dwell cf the originals. It's not massive, you can actually run them, but it is better if you can adjust the dwell (which you can with Nistune in the stocker, or with an aftermarket ECU). Besides any of that - when you had the multimeter out, have you got power where it needs to be, earth where it needs to be (and when, in the case of igniter triggers), etc?
    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
