That one I told you about in Japan is still for sale

http://page17.auctio...tion/v228047993

But cant help you out with the requested money tree :cheers:

Damn, and I thought everything was coming together.. I was brewing up a storm after lunch and I thought I\'d have some wicked manure for the money tree.

I'm thinking this 68HTA onto GT28 concept might be exactly what I'm after. My motor is a little knock limited and doesnt like lots of boost, Mark did say that this compressor is aimed at the production type guys with limitations.. Especially the impreza boys who struggle above 17psi. That might suit me a lot.

Im thinking that the GT28 might turn the HTA a little quicker than a TD05H will, and get some more shaft speed where I need it. That will probably see me cap out a little earlier than the compressor is capable of doing but I am honestly not chasing 300kw.. If I could get a flat out 240 at a reasonable PR I would be very happy.. Mark sounds confident and as always Stao is willing to do a smashing price on the mashine work.

Need to sleep on it and bite the bullet by friday at the latest.

Hmm how much for the FF? one of the only 20's not to nose over up top was your getup with the old cam timing, i reckon this manifold was the key.... im looking for a c33 laurel to piece together atm... rb20 with l2 on cane sugar of course.

Looks like I cannot PM you.... Honestly I'm sure we can work out a deal where it costs us both nothing ;)

But it could be a few months whilst I collect parts which I have thrown out / lost / sold etc, get new piping and a GTR BOV. If you aren't in a hurry you're on!

I stumbled across an RB20 inlet manifold converted to FF item. Something like this should help with your lack of torque mid range yet also shorten piping by a whole heap.

If I was going to do anything to the inlet I would be interested in just modding the std inlet with a wider twin throttle body off an L98 or LT1

But I dont think I have ever read anyting about the std throttle being a restriction so not sure of there is anything to gain from going to smaller twins to try and sharpen throttle response and flow to the plenum

yeah bad idea, the distribution gets all screwy, too much cylinder triming needed to even out the fuelling.

found this mild steel top mount manifold. i know the SS manifolds tend to crack and warp from heat and weight. i was wondering if these would be any better as they are mild steel and a cheaper option than a 6 boost

Read the last few pages and the below link. We have been discussing those exact manifolds.

Ebay steampipe manifold thread

I think the general verdict is they are worth their money.

yeah sorry i hadnt been on here a while and just after i posted it i saw the thread sorry guys ignore it

and yeah i was going to stick to the td06 and stay stock mani for the cost reasons but for the money on one of those manifolds i think id rather go the t67

Being brutally honest I would go one of those manifolds regardless of the option, but thats just me.

Pick the outcome you want, but id say use one of those manifolds for sure.

thought id post the progress of my 10cm sl2 20g. Getting there slowly. mucked around with the water lines today. Just need a fitting for oil feed to block, finish intake and cooler pipeing then i can send it of to get a dump made. Soo exited hopeing for 300+ atw on E85 with killer response.

Whilst the gate looks great mounted there im worried it will crack eventually. Isnt that the weak point where the manifolds crack without cutting a 2 inch hole?

I think you are well on your way to the 300 club. :thumbsup:

hmm im abit worried about the manifold long term also. Ive had the pipe and gate flange glowing red with the standard turbo afew times, no cracks yet. fingers crossed it lasts longer than the motor will haha

    • Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.
    • Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...
    • Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!
    • I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.
    • Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
