Thanks Roy! That looks quite nasty.....:(

Will definately do something about this manifold. Maybe I need to make a custom heat shield

Stock one had a heat shield where this does not

Edited by blah_blah

ACL heatshield is awsome stuff, you can bend and cut it into any shape you need :) i also heat wrapped the manifold and part of the dump, used heat shield sleeving on the oil and water lines, aswell as a turbo beanie.

After doing a bit of reading this morning. The ACL Heatshields seem to be the go :thumbsup:

Yeh ACL is good stuff, but with that sort of dump and manifold setup I think you will have trouble making a decent arrangement. Under the sheathing over the coolant hoses going into the firewall std Nissan hoses that have been wrapped in DEI no leaks to further make the new hose robust.

When you are driving arount at wide open throttle for 15 minutes with everything glowing red everything goes to shit. Even loom clips nowehere near the immediate heat sources harden and become nice and crispy. If its less circuit car and just a club car doing track work then the concern over heat control is a little less

Bringing a 6" flexible duct up from the front of the car to dump cooling air in the region can help too. Even if it doesn't noticeably cool the hot stuff, it will take some heat away from the stuff that's not meant to be hot.

Just a daily car doing club track work via SAU VIC and other car clubs.

Winton isn't too much a problem.

But somewhere like Sandown and Phillip Island (Havent been but assuming so) might be

With the stock setup, car was getting really hot under the car and oil temps up to 130 towards the end of the day at Sandown. So would only last about 8-10 mins out of a 15min session before oil temps started to get out of control. This was on a 20c day.

So now with this new manifold, turbo and summer approaching. Hoping heat shielding and an oil cooler will do the trick.

Seems a bit of a waste doing track days and having to pull in early in sessions because your car is overheating

Yeh, maybe...but I don't like that idea on my car. Too much heat-temp cycling. If you run a bit duct so its all low velocity and you dont get cold spots...but not very practical given how busy it all it in there. I also ran my inlet temp thermocouple around the strut tower whilst I was doing my shielding etc years ago and i think the main thing is keep the heat in the hot things and try to have slow heating and cooling....with it protect the things that dont like heat and then typically saloon cars with copious amount of 60deg air coming through the radiator gives enough airflow through the engine bay...for me a better approach since i dont want any ducting etc in my bonnet. But others may be able to make it work

Did some jigging today. I can make TD06SL2 20G / 18G or TD05H 18G into a bolton turbocharger for Nissan Rb engines, how ever only in a 8cm housing at current stage. It will cost $300 additional. Since most internally gated TDxx results are rather disappointing, the ATR series are still better choices of a bolton turbocharger, how ever send in PM if any one wish to get one made and have a go at.

The curvature of the blade is too far curved, specially in a 8cm its going to chock the engine badly, and putting on heaps of load onto the thrust collar. Its good for small engines. Under comparison, the SL2 turbine appears much better for a Rb20/25 motor.

The TD05H seems to pump a fair amount of volume on a 4G63, up to 300kw on E85 from memory (with custom spec compressors).

Trent has also said 280kw from one is not hard to achieve. (TD05H 18g 10cm).

That being said. 280kw from an SR or 280kw from an RB is the same amount of exhaust gas flow regardless. Power = flow. Right?

You have the thing able to be put on, just trial it on your own car and see.

Nope, bigger engines actually result in much high back pressure and lot more heat when constrained by a small turbine, its different when fitted on to a smaller engine. So this turbo might reach 250rwkws on a worked SR20det, but won't be able to reach that on a RB25det, probably going to pin its head off on boost.

This is the new 3inch Vband dump adaptor with a large 38mm internal gate that I've been working on earlier and it is now complete.

The 3.5 inches front pipe that I would like to offer with this turbine housing has been made (by Drifthovic SAU: Abe2 <= this guy also makes stainless stell 3inch lobster induction pipes for high flow and other turbos)

After looking into my Xforce front pipe. it appears it was a straight pipe bent into shape by a bender, not mandrel bents. The area that it bents were only 2.5 inches.

With the new front pipe installed, the exhaust sounded alittle louder. and felt torquier in the mid-upper rev range.

Price for the cnc internal gate assembly is $350

3inch mandrel bend front pipe to cat is: $220

3.5 inches lobster bend (show on photo) is $270.

So for example a ATR43G3 with above assembly and 3inch mandrel bend front pipe would be:

$900 (turbo) + 350 (cnc internal gate assembly) + 220 (front pipe) = $1470

The CNC internal gate assembly and front pipe also fits any ATR43's .82 turbine housings.

This setup will allow the turbocharger to perform much betterly compare to some of the CN imported front pipes.

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
