im sure they have been used before. If you are going to use it make sure you check clearance issues and make sure all the surfaces are machined flat. For me personaly there are to many gaskets need in the same area which may cause leakages.

I have a similar one but mine has some angle.

Was gonna use it in the 33 with a td06SL2 but ended up going a T67 with a 6boost instead.

test fit on a rusty rb20 :)

the T67 is massive but i did try and mount it with this thing for interests sake, its pretty tight but i reckon if you moved the A/C lines and modified the engine mount it may be possible.

not using this so if somebody wants to buy let me know!

these flow horribly, having the w/g port @ 90* angle from the flow is pretty poor for flow and boost control.

Good for practicality, but If it was me I would spend the extra coin and get a port welded into the rear housing, looks neater too IMO.

yeh i had a similar adapter, had it on my high mount rb30 maniflod, it flowed well but as said clearence was a issue lol,

it was touching my bonnet, even flat spotted my housing hahahah.

if i had to do it again i would modify my manifold.

Yeh Sam and I tried something similar (from scratch) to well and truely hide my external gate.... we waited weeks for the thick metal to come in... then it had to be machined.... was absolutely wrapped... then I did a trial fit....

Unfortunetly, because my car has the same chassis rails as a gtr, it would never fit as they are higher then normal gtst's and as such less room... so you really have to be careful about clearance.

^^yeah thats what i was worried about does seem a nasty angle to have it on......

but I really do wonder if having it on the housing would be any better..

I was worried too... have heard both good and bad... but so far has been fine, as has boost control. I did get it heat coated just incase.

I was actually trying to keep it hidden under the heatsheild, but that doesnt look too bad at all.

But really most aftermarket high mount manifolds have the gate pipe coming off at close to a 90 degree angle... 6 boost, trust etc

you will find the steam pipe ones are setup with less than a 90 degree angle as they have serious boost issues if its not.

hidden under heatshield you say?

This was when I was test fitting to make another hole for a bolt.

Great thing is it actually works as a really good heatshield because of where the gate is, I was getting a ton of heatsoak on the intake pipe - it was soo hot after drives I couldn't touch it... and it's meant to be as cool as possible... now its pretty much outside air temp, until I stop and the heat begins to sit and go up, but its generally much much cooler... did alot more then heatcoating....

with all the intake pipes on top you cannot see a thing under there.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
