hi all wondering whether anyone else has had any issues on a rb26 with a 1.06 rear housing of a gt35r hitting on the cam cover with a 6 boost manifold?

rear housing just touches and just prevents me from tightening up the manifold all the way. can i use a steel shim style gasket or 2 to space it out a tiny bit?

will this cause any issues or should i just use a .82 rear housing instead?

manifold previously had a gt35 with a .82 rear which had no clearance issues.

thanks luke

I have the exact same problem, my .82 housing just fits but i can't put a beenie on it because it's to close. I have machined a 1.06 housing at an angle to make it clear but haven't had time to try it. I told Kyle but he assured me my engine must be bent because there's nothing wrong with his jig. :yes:

Bent engine. LOL :)

I was considering this same setup but I might look elsewhere for a highmount if thats the case.

26

Interesting. I have this setup on my 25/30 and no clearance issues but i have seen a couple of 26 setups that run a bit close.

Another manifold i had with a similar problem I fixed by facing the head flange at an angle so it moved the turb away from the engine.

Bent engine. LOL :yes:

Don't worry I have spoken to kyle and he will fix the problem. it's still an awesome manifold!

25 mate.

25 is a different jig.

Bent engine. LOL :yes:

The other option is ETM (Extreme Turbo Manifolds) very similar design to the 6boost ones except the head flange has the bolt holes to support both the 25 and 26 heads.

I dont have a prob with the quality of the 6boost product, I already use it on my 25/30 but I am way over friggin around putting on and taking off exhaust manifolds in skylines, Its a priest of a job.

If Kyle has remedied the problem i will be only too happy to go there again.

\ I told Kyle but he assured me my engine must be bent because there's nothing wrong with his jig. :P

I must have a sensitive sense of humor today because that almost made me spit my nasty green Schweppes lime drink all over my laptop. hahahah

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
