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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
