Where in Aust can you get extrude honing done and what is an approximate cost. I'll be looking at getting a TD06 8cm housing honed to an in-between size (might have to go on the lath to achieve a 9cm though) as well as the exhaust manifold done in the next 6 months.

The black coating is supposed to be better (rated higher) than the chrome coating has anyone had any problems with the chrome coating pealing off?

nah i would not as they dont like retainng the extra heat, i have a few coated ones crack after only a few track days.

We're talking about cast iron here though. Probably the best starting material for that type of thing. If you get them done inside and out, they don't retain any of the heat.

If memory serves me correct he has a 2835? I could be wrong.

Either way the turbine housings smallest point is smaller than the T3 flange/outlet from the manifold. You can only flow so much past that section, increasing flow to it does not change the rate of flow there.

If you want to port, that is where you would port. Then you could be hurting response, not increasing it.

Question was - "worth it". Answer is no.

Spending any money on the stock manifolds is a waste of money if you are looking for some performance gains.

I can't remember who did the toying around but RB25 manifolds didnt really hurt anything until around 300rwkw. In which most cases you are going turbos too large to fit with a spacer anyway.

500rpm from porting when the turbine housing is the restriction and not the manifold...?

Ash, there is more to powerporting/extrude honing than just increasing the total flow. It is possible to make runners flow more evenly. I am guessing a good tuner can do some nice things with all the ducks lined up.

If the question said 'I have a 2835 on an RB25 and is it worth it?' then yes you are right, the answer is no.

But you can't help poor turbo selection. That like saying can I make 400rwhp on my RB25? The answer is yes. Can you do it with the stock side mount intercooler? The answer is no.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
