Where is the flex join Jez? Exhaust looks good other than that.

I have never used a flex join on my exhausts scotty. The dump pipes are very secure near the gearbox. Plus it will test out the 6boost manifolds strength :)

Mitcho im hoping for 400kw from mine and 350+ from the R34 with 5558.

The main thing im aiming for is response. Well as much as possible with a 400kw turbo. I will be tuning mine with stock cams for now. Then poncams, then when the headgasket pops i will look at variable intake cam and port work. I will be testing the bottom end on my 26. If it lets go i will worry about it then.

Brilliant attitude!

Hope it all goes well, they're both going to be flex fuel aren't they or is it just yours?

I always run a flex in the screamer pipe as the expansion between off gate and on causes the pipes to move too much. The gate pipes are cold then become white hot as the gate opens. (get a video of it on the dyno, its impressive.) It will most probably crack at the base where it joins the dump and load up the gates and manifold/studs like you said. Bugger removing it all for repairs to save the $20 a two inch flex costs.

Thanks Scotty i will look into them tomorrow. Is easily added onmy car but on the 34 the wastagate pipes is only 2 inches long and turns 90 degrees in the 2inches.

Have u seen any crack due to the reason stated?

Besides mine will be on gate more not haha. Dyno time then trailer to circuit.

Here's hoping you can crack a 10 mate, it will be a nice setup.

I have seen one crack a stainless manifold within an hour on the dyno. (that was with a venting screamer.) I also watched my exhaust grow longer by over 2 inches and glow red at the tip. I can just imagine the stresses on the tubing up the hot end.

That sounds pretty wild, bet Jez is glad you mentioned this prior to him getting them on the dyno

It isn't really an issue if you like pulling the parts back off to weld them but I bet its a job and a half to fit. I just did a split 6boob install and it was a pita, especially the gate position. I fabbed it all in the car though.

    • Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?
    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
