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.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
