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.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
