Engine Mods

[BstewyR33]

Hey guys/girls. I'm fairly new to the skyline scene. Just trying to think of "what to do" mods to the engine.

On my old 180, i went the stainless low mount path, with the turbo back exhaust & front mount, it went alright & i enjoyed the kick it gave.

however having seen some of the low mount manifolds that are out there for RB's, there seems to be alot of no name brands tryign to flogg off the stainless steel option for around 300-400 mark. or theres the extreme option of getting a tuned lenth high mount steam pipe for around the 900-1000 mark.

now being that its meant to be a familyish car (haha) i'm not after ball tearing kw's, just something that has a bit more pep when needed. How's the stock manifold hold up with a turbo back exhaust and front mount? - thats pretty much the only bolt on mods i'm planning on doing. (except for if a low mount manifold is good, then i might consider that)

I pretty much want the car to look as stock as possible - obvisouly the front mounts a give away, however i'd be looking at justjap's stealth kit for that. wheels (a set of XD9's) will be the only other mod, oh & suspension while still retaining a comfortable ride.

Cheers for any input.

If all your doing is a turbo back exhaust and front mount there is def no need to change the manifold, even if you do change the turbo the standard manifold would be fine for the sort of power your after

IMO those cheap stainless manifolds are a huge waste of money.

stock manifold will be fine, i made 300rwkw with a 3076R out of the RB25 in my old R32 so with mild mods it will hold up fine and will probably be a better design than the truly awful cheap lowmount options out there at the moment
