Hey guys Ive done a search but cant much info on RB20DET aftermaket lowmount turbo extractors :)

Just need to know best brands for money as im doing a head stud replacement and thought I might upgrade the standard low mount extractors while they are off.

Only want low mount as dont really want the boys in blue on my ass for defect etc my ride is engineered but its expensive as people know.

Seen a few on ebay and on a few websites looking to spend around $500

Yes it works fine up to about 300kw.

Lowmount or not, if the coppers see that big shiny aftermarket-looking manifold they will do you for it anyway.

You cant find any info on these because no-one bothers.

The cheap ebay extractors works fine. Before putting installation make sure you machine both flanges flat, and in most of the cases you also have to slot 2x screw wholes on the bottom (about 2mms each).

Point Taken :P Thought there might have been improvment over the stock one but sounds like the stock one is the go + Saving dollars to spend on ebc... HDI any good? :ermm:

yer there good what kind of boost do you think u will run

low mounts can maintain the heat shield modified and generally cant be seen really..

they provide a sound that a standard manifold will never get near and also when boost comes on its much harder

the cheap ones are terrible they crack in no time at all,

if you can find a jap spec one 2nd get it way woth it.

i have also had good gans with big porting of standard manifold, but nothing sounds like a tube low mount !

yer there good what kind of boost do you think u will run

Atm running 14psi with dual stage manual turbosmart boost controller

Have thought about getting 6boost or spending 1000+ on low mount turbo extractors would love to have them they would sound really nice with my 3 inch system and hopefully get to 14psi before 4000rpm lol

thinking about putting a 26 in it need more torque!!!

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
