I have with the HKS cast manifold which has the wastegate sitting right on top. The very short run to the gate is the worst it can be if you want to keep both sides divorced. I am guessing there wouldn't be much in it once gasses start moving at any speed.

Is that stainless ?? can't wait to get my stainless mani in favour of mild steel.... might be alright if it doesn't get too hot.

had heaps of issues with turbo to mani gaskets etc, and Grant at Per4manz turbos is pointing the finger at the stainless and turbo rear having different expansion rates...stainless is something like 10mm per 1m.

you might not be putting as much heat as the TO4 at near on 2bar, so might not have any issues...just saying (-:

I think so, but looks identical to that one. no cracks or anything, just trouble mantaining a good seal between turbo and mani, Grant thinks due to stainless flange against cast mild?? , had them both faced a couple of times, tried every type of gasket. The permeflex ( or whatever its call ) 5 layer one thats on know seems to be holding up, but hasn't seen too many long track sessions yet.. next time it lets go, its a 6-boob steam pipe or similar.

Pffft PJ. Joels is slowly catching up. U too should race :) rules are no higher than 6000rpm hahaha

Just got his off the dyno, full boost 24psi @ 4300rpm revving to 7500 335kw

Will push for more boost soon. Had to take it for a run

E-Flex, that's E85 yeah?

Top end power is great but a little laggy? I'm reading 15psi@4250rpm, 20psi@4500 and 24psi at 5100rpm (all approx). Do you think these can be improved upon with better boost control? What size gate is on there now?

I've got a 5858 and was hoping for better response that that but not so sure now!!

Don't forget it's a 2L SR20 not a RB25

It's making at around 4300rpm which I wouldn't have thought is too bad at all

Yes understand its a SR20 which is what I have.

The top end is sensational and a great result. Don't get me wrong, not meaning to be critical but would have hoped for more action a bit earlier.

In any case a dyno doesn't tell you how a car feels on the road.

Like I said I have a 5858 that is going onto a 2L (maybe a 2.2L) so am really interested in the response and power of these things. The slightly larger turbo should be able to make 350rwk or so. I guess I will find out later on.

I dont think the lag is as bad as it looks. You cant expect too much response from a 2L with a 300+kw turbo man.. For me its really on par and I think its a good result.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
