the porting you can do yourself if you have a die grinder. As for the coating i'm just about to call these guys (which are the guys who developed the Ceramic Coating Process).

If you really get stuck on the porting let me know.

ive got a set of genuine gaskets ready for it.

would it be safe to assume that the ports on the manifold would be the same size as the ports on the manifold anyway?

i ment i paid 100 bucks for the manifolds lol

The 26 ports between the manifold and turbo are smaller, yo uwill see when you look at them that the manifold will have only 1/2 to 2/3's open. That is what you are porting. I wouldn't touch the manifold the head ports, but you can give them a touch up if you want; but the main reason why people port the 26 manifold is due to the turbo port size.

That is what i mean about using the gasket as a template, line the turbo gasket up with the port, etch the inside port shape on the manifold and then cut loose with the die grinder.

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
