splitter stays in the final product looks good and i cant see any problems with defects its alot better then having a turbo reaching for the sky and saying ill take a red one officer. on my set up i had no problems with boost control after my MBC was removed i was using a small gate to 35mm. the 44mm will have no problems controlling things. i think the external gate on the manifold will help the mani flow so much more then without. iv had 260kw though a 38 pipe a 44 could flow over 300+ im guessing

yeah i know il correct myself 200 depending on turbo. it comes down to personal preferance i like it on the manifold as i can put a diferent turbo on if i blow one with the housing your restricted to what turbo can be used. im going to be putting a gt3040 on one of these manifolds and there is no way im welding to one of those housings

External gate is VERY hard to keep hidden. Even custom jobs that I have seen where the intention was to hide the gate, it's still easily spotted if the cops are looking around. if you're worried about cops at all, I wouldn't be going external gate.

I'm not worried about them at all hanaldo I'm just trying to keep it away from first thing to be seen if you know what I mean

And keeping it easy for turbo change if need be for pits

That's it alot of the time if something catches there eye they will defect you most if the time they don't get there heads in the engine bay just look for something sticking out they are like crows shining things get there attention

I was trying for stealth too with my setup, thats why I avoided external gate for a while, but the boost control is awesome it sounds great.

I have heard both good and bad stories about welding on the manifold, but as of yet I have never heard any issues with welding on the housing of the turbo - provided it is in the correct spot for flow, there is a diagram somewhere about it.

I got mine heat sprayed aswell for stealth+ cooling ( for cooling it was a waste of time, cant remember all up but I think was about 400 for manifold and turbo housing and had to send it away for a week ) but I think the matt balck does help instead of a bright colour.

Decided to make a aluminium heatshield aswell to cover the external gate - which 1. worked way better for hiding things 2. actually functioned as a great heat barrier.

Maybe you could do something like that? Sure, a cop if they were keen could see something, but with the intake pipe ontop and other crap its very hard to tell and just looks like a heat shield... if they are that keen they will get you either way.....

This was while I was finishing drilling the holes for it:

Quoted from the Turbosmart installation manual:

- DO NOT wrap the body of the wastegate with exhaust wrap

- DO NOT Mount the wastegate so that the top diaphragm housing is less than 100mm from a heat source

- Allow for adequate cool airflow around the top diaphragm housing

In nsw the cops are lazy. My mate with a 33 god defected for the STD bov then he had to get a blueslip to pass so no matter what you do they will pick anything they can shiny or not. I got done for having a gear knob with no patten go figures. Thanks Simon32 yeah the cast seems to break in the perfect spot everytime then the cleaning part sucks. You could have the wastegate mounted under the turbo but boost spikes would be a issue

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
