Nice vid, the photobucket clip is really good quality already? Sounds tough as and hauls ass...what light came on on the dash? ATTESA/4WD?

Did you retune with new manifolds???

I think photbucket took a while to process it, better but still not HD like the oringinal. Yeah the Attessa faulted so had to reset. Definately needs a retune with these manifolds.

I have confirmed since my track day the rear manifold at least has warped 7mm, so my inlet pipe now rubs on the strut tower. I have to pull the motor to check as it has developed a slight tick. I will be weldings some support brakets onto these manifolds from the flange to collector.

Something I would be doing from the factory on these manifolds from now on.. Or before you install them

Hope the tick is nothing major. Really now seems alittle too much effort for a little gain. If the manifolds warped surely you would have to bin it?

Yes lots of effort, however the gain is not little. My injectors are maxed at .35bar less boost....prob why I have a tick now :whistling: Slightly down on compression on number 4, oil dripped in brought it up 125 to 140 psi, all other cylinders are 150. So the motor is coming out no question. All good though, there are a few things I can tidy up and replace while I'm at it. I'm quite happy with the performance now. Reliability is the goldern aim for me. My goal is to find out if it was pinging or an oil control issue. I run an extended trust gated baffle and extended sump(6L) Will pull it out over the next few days.

7mm warp?????

I wouldnt be happy at all...for the price and considering theyre made from freaking steam pipe thats definitely not a good thing.

Imagine having to pay to get them installed only to have them warp and create other dramas.

Did you install the factory bracing brackets that bolt to the bottom of the turbo dumps to the block? Im assuming they didnt fit but did you made up new ones?

I was considering these but now I think im well put off by the warpage factor.

I guess factory manifolds really are the best thing.

The factory brackets didnt fit the Tomei dumps.Possibly could modify them--> which is not a bad idea. Even the factory manifolds droop...hence why Gibson team installed support brackets. Might have something to do with pressure from our side pipes...

Flow tested the factory manifolds against the chinese stainless and they flowed 50% less, 6hrs of porting the OEM and got them within 15% of the stainless.

I would use these 6boost mani's on all my future builds, no question...I know whats required for install now.

Have you been in touch with Kyle throughout the install? Im sure he'd be interested to hear about the issues youve had...one of the most helpful, genuine guys within the modified car scene and so much knowledge...

Not knocking you but suprised you didnt have a look at the tune before you took it the track and gave it a hard time?

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
