dumb question time but I'm sick of reading back, did 50 odd pages and don't have a clear answer.

unopened 20.

tdo6 L2 20G 8cm for around 260rwkw?will probably be getting cams at the same time. with a pfc and z32.

on same note, which sub 1k manifold?

If your after sub 1k it's either the cheap spec eBay Kiwi steam pipe jobbie or a quality made in adelaide Kelway steam pipe made to order.

Pics of my SR Kelway manifold are a few pages back.

Save the money you are going to spend on cams and leave them std. They may improve performance but I have had experience with Apexi 260/9mm cams hurting performance and went back to std. Cam gears are a good option though

Spend the extra $100-200 and get an ETM, 6boost or Brae manifold. Tried and tested...

slippylotion...have to ask. I liked your pics...but do you have any affiliation with Kelway?...lol you are pushing them in every post. All for people vouching for good products but there is little in the way of results and arent they more expensive then 6boost etc...so well over the 1k option the OP is after?

don't really car what it is, also long as it sounds cool and my car bakes.

i googled him but didn't get any info about contacting him?

EDIT - roy, have mates who have had shocking experiences with 6boost so i want nothing to do with them, will google/get quotes from the other 2 though.

If only they were side feeders i would be onto it :(

I won't be needing my side feed 740cc hi-flowed series 2 things anymore if your interested, will be cheap cheap!

Not exactly sure how they were modified but it had something to do with a jig and grinding the ports, was told the same method is used by deatschwerks and the like?? apparently the spray pattern ends up being identical to a standard GTR injector.

PM me with a price if you want battery, Ill keep it in mind :)

ARTZ, im pretty sure i was originally telling you to get them yeah... But you concluded that you wanted something better, I more or less didnt disagree with you. I mean id rather ID's to them also, its just about simplicity and cost with a side of quality.

Bugger ! I am running one and it seems durable enough. It didn't do anything to improve performance over my old Trust manifold, (there is a little evidence that it hurt performance...so it certainly didnt improve by 300rpm like the consensus I got when researching) I know a few people running ETM and are happy with the service and quality. I have seen Brae manifolds on drift cars and the quality seems good and he is good at responding to queries as I am considering getting him to copy my old Trust manifold and going back to a 6-2-1 design vs the 6-1 6boost design

He is a mate and does quality work so I like to recommend him as a lot of other guys do for their favourite places. I did have his low mount mani before I changed to high mount. He also makes rollcages, suspension arms and braces and a heap more. Pretty much fabricates anything you want.

He is cheaper than 6 Boost and the like. I think 6 Boost SR manifold is about $990 where as Kelway is about $690. $895 for an RB manifold.

after googling some shit, I'm leaning towards a brea. thanks for your help.

Big cams for that size turbo. I'm using HKS step 2 264 in/out 12/11.5mm lift.

They are quite large for the application, but they sound cool at idle. It was running the same cams with the standard turbo with 19psi up it.

Felt pretty strong then so I can't wait to open it up once the fuel pump is in.

    • 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/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
