OH. I missed the bit where you edited my post.

IMHO difference will be next to zer0. All assuming the IWG isn't actually hindered by reducing it to a V-band out.

If the drain pipe is of concerns I would heat wrap the dump and put reflective race tape on the drain hose.

Done already and so far so good. It's also to lowest part of my exhaust so was thinking about modifying it to be higher or make a dump in v-band and sell my bell mouth. Might just leave it and modify from dump backwards

So you not going to test the stainless mani remade in steampipe first before delivering a verdict?..i thought it would pick up

spool made in steampipe due to retaining heat better?

cheers

I think you would find the stainless would retain the heat better than the carbon steel :)

Also thinking about this. Following the recent discussions on the JJR bellmouths not matching up to the gasket and possibly being a restriction, I decided to pull mine off to double check and low-and-behold, mine is the same. I could clean it up with a die-grinder, but I'm considering just having a custom dump pipe fabbed up, possibly in 3.5 or 4".

Stao, how hard would it be to convert the G3 Type-A rear housing from the OEM 6-bolt pattern to a V-Band or even 5-bolt flange?

Keep me in the loop if your going to get one made. Stao wants a photo of mine when I'm home to confirm rear housing model. Hopefully can just bolt on the rear adaptor

I ground mine out a bit and tapered the edges but still not 100% happy with it. It also has an inner skin that has lifted in sections prob due to the 1000c + temps it saw 4 years ago when it Chernobyl'd

I also run a JJR dump and was very disappointed in the way it was when it arrived, I ended up die grinding massive amounts of metal out of it and had to reweld the flange as the pipe is welded inside.

But either way the car is going great with the high flow, I've done the first drift day in it (well 2 days, qr drift matsuri) and survived, even drove too and from the track :)

For a budget style drifter the high flow is perfect, I'm running stock injectors and around 210rwkw at 14psi.

The turbo and engine performed perfectly all weekend, and only problem was fuel surge on big right hand corners in third (surge and pump currently being fitted) and also killed my diff lol

Massive thanks again to stao

Anyone with an xforce dump want to compare for gasket match sake?

If we can identify a better dump stao won't need to make new rear housings for everyone

Well when you all get ready to sell your JJR dumps, someone PM me... I need a cheap dump...

Just saw they are only 180 in mild steel or 200 in stainless from just Jap. Cheap as

I won't feel bad hacking mine up now. Might cut a new flange at work and transfer it over

i think stao should offer his own dump to suit his own rear housing

then develop an iwg setup that works really well

if he can make a turbo for $1k then he should be able to knock out some cheap dumps

If you're gonna change the dump/flange pattern, you may aswell follow through, do it properly, and go external gate.. F*ck it, why not get a 6 boost while we're at it..

Perhaps this is why Stao makes these turbo's the way he does (Affordable and simple).

^ Exactly.

One of the best things about a HG is that it bolts on and is zero hassle.

Photos of Stao's adapter next to an OEM gasket shows his machine work is second to none and is as good as it can get in terms of being matched to the gasket. You cant ask for better.

Now that we know that JJR quality has gone down hill for the 1 piece dumps all we need to do is find an alternative. My money is on the Xforce.

Mine is 3 years old now, so I wouldn't say it's a thing that has happened recently.

Why does changing the flange pattern mean you should go external gate? I don't see how it makes anything harder? Right now you buy a HG turbo, and it's pretty much a requirement to have a dump pipe as well if you want the numbers. So you need to buy a turbo and a dump in either situation, why is it any harder to have a different flange if it's coming in a package?

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
