Hey guys,

I'm about to start looking into making a single turbo low mount manifold for my 1jz, not really sure if I will actually use it on the car or not, but i wanna do it for a little project.

So I have a few questions

I dont want to use a merge collector due to space constraints, and I want it to look standardish, so thinking a log style manifold would meet the criteria.

So how do I get the runners to connect to the turbo flange (traditional Single entry T3) Im thinking 2 90deg bends and cut and weld them together and then squish them into the squareish T3 entry shape.

Any hints/tips/pointers/flaws in my plan?

Cheers

Andrew

Edit - here is a Tomei manifold for a late model VVTi 1jz and is kinda what im after but maybe not as fancy and in mild steel

As tidy as the manifold in that picture looks. I can only imagine the flow inside would be shocking. Gases running into more gases.

I wouldnt have used the tee's for the outlets. Rather 90's being merged into the back corner of the next one along. But for a simple easy to fabricate manifold that looks like the way to go! You could pump that out in one afternoon/night.

So all you need is 4 x buttweld fitting tee's and two buttweld fitting 90's probs long radius, and what looks like a piece of RHS to suit the internal dimensions of the T3 flange and then maybe another 90 for external wastegate outlet if you go that route. Id imagine all the buttweld fittings would be 1 1/4".

That log style manifold would be pretty damn cheap too. Maybe $100 to $130 worth of material...

I forgot about this thread,

only looking for aboot 260rwks outta the 1jz

Also now looking at using a td06 so circular flange.

That is if I cant find a suitable manifold cheap off the shelf.

But I do like the idea of not having a stupid high mount manifold, stealth ftw lol

have you got the turbo and all that already? i've got a mate who's half half on selling his turbo kit atm, its on a jzz30. td06 25g with small as shit rear housing, with gate, manifold, dump pipe lines etc. made 275rwkw @19psi.

yeah we were playing with it on the dyno the other day, trying to get lpg tune and shit sorted. i think hes keeping his setup now though, trent helped him decide to stick with it lol. i'll still ask anyway for you. had another guy lined up to buy it but pulled out at the last minute to hiflow his standards, he was paying 2750 for it, so thats where the price would be at

i'll let you know if he changes his mind and wants to sell it

Sorry to hijack the thread.

If a great tune is performed on a N/A Skyline so torque and power are improved 10%, will the SVI LPG ECU ( hope the terminology is correct) adapt itself to the improved petrol performance. My Current LPG set up returns poor fuel economy so it will need to be fine tuned by the LPG technician. How then would a future great petrol tune affect a prior newly fine tuned LPG setup?

i take it english is not your first language?

i think what your asking is if you get it tuned on petrol, will the gas tune improve in the same way the petrol does? most likely yes, but on an NA skyline, you probably wont see massive gains anywhere, fuel economy may pics up somewhat though. how bad is the fuel economoy? within 30% of petrol?

English is my first language ......I am just retarded. :thumbsup:

LPG economy is 47% worse on a regular trip I do under the same driving conditions

haha sorry zebra :D

samuri, your english is alright, may have been pissed/tired/both when i read your post, makes sense reading it now :(

not up with the various types of LPG injection systems, but most dont have much of an 'ECU' as such, they are basically a complicated switch, with a mechanical restrictor of some sort to choke down the injector till it flows the same as your petrol injectors. sounds like the lpg tech may have left it a little rich.... if you tune the petrol though, it should improve the gas tune *assuming your system works the same way as most others*

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
