i have the set up u are putting on my car. 3076r with .82 housing and 38mm gate off standard exhaust manifold. it is an awesome turbo setup. on 16psi with step 1 cams and built engine i made 285kw with a very conservative tune (very little timing, rich afr's). My next step is to push the standard exhaust manifold as far as it can go to see if how far over 300kw it will go. I have noticed that most of the setups that stop making power around the 300 mark are using the .63 housing.

the stock cams are 350 capable, wait for ash to chime in. but im a believer anyhow.

stock manifold begins to hold you back above 300, the .63 doesnt seem to be an issue tho, its doing the numbers provided used with a good manifold and gate.

you wont get much more than 320kw out of the 0.82 version on pump fuel (98) you need E85 or some other exotic fuel/effective octane enhancer to get much more

Ye that's pretty much where the upper limits are going to be.

E85 would see you around the 350rwkw marker. Maybe a tad more, maybe a tad less, always subjective.

I was making 270rwkw @ 17psi with a bad 3" exhaust, factory cams, GTS-R manifold.

Held to 8000rpm no problems (GT3040/600hp).

I wish I'd had a chance to test it with a proper 3.5" exhaust that flowed nicely, would have seen over 300rwkw without much of a fuss was the general consensus and this was what… 4 years ago now.

Ended up making 370rwkw on 104 octane/24psi. Guilty-Toy made ~350rwkw factory head with a GT35 in a 3ltr not that long after.

45ULT - most setups (RB25/30s) have all run out around the 300rwkw marker factory exhaust manifold… a few have tried to go further and not really seen much gain. I believe some of those were using GT35's are well.

Change the manifold as well and then I think there was around a 20-30rwkw gain, and nicer midrange once everything was flowing inline with requirements so perhaps have a dig in the RB30 section of the forum.

I'm all for taking stock parts to untested waters, many said for ages you couldn’t make 300rwkw on factory cams (RB25 & 26)… and now there is a good number of cars over that. Some RB26’s making 380rwkw – factory cams!

It would just seem however the RB25 exhaust manifold just don’t have much to offer. That’s not to say there is anything wrong with it. Just don’t hope for much more than 300rwkw, and if you make more then count yourself lucky (but remember a manifold change, could well offer some decent $$ vs gain improvements)

what about extrude honing the exhaust manifold? has anyone had much sucess with this? I am still keen to see how much past 300kw i can get on the stock manifold before i switch to high mount. If i can get close to 320kw i might not even change the setup

yeah i realise this, i will look into a ETM item towards middle/end of this year.

aslong as i get close to 280-300rwkw fullboost 4000rpm nice strong mid range, set limiter to 7500rpm and plan on running 21psi if needed .

just hope its more fun then what i had before being the slowest 300kw ive ever felt.

yes that is correct one screws into the block and the other joins up to the metal piping that runs back behind the head. i want to know the thread size thats on the banjo bolt that screws into the block :)

brain fart, one of them screws into the block on the exhaust side (-6 fitting), the other goes behind the engine and plugs onto some coolant hose under the intake.

Dash 6 fitting like he said lol

Updates Justin?

placing order today for speedflow fittings / hose / firesleeve

me and tuner decided to weld the 50mm gate off the stock exhaust manifold now, saves hacking up a .82 turbine

we are going to try and fit a 4" intake aswell

then on the 5th we strap it 2 rollers and throw 21psi in it haha see what it produces

yes im replacing it with a -6 speedflow fitting barbed but wont the speedflow fitting need to screw onto a adaptor with -6 on the speeflow end and whatever thread on other end that goes into the block? i think im just a bit dumb lol

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
