Hey guys,

as the topic suggests, just lookin for some photos/ideas from people that have already used a Full Race twin scroll manifold (im using a borg warner 83/75 single turbo)

Particularly in reguards to the air intake, compressor/pressure side plumbing and power steering reservoir location

Cheers

Joe

Where does your manifold locate the front wastegate? There seem to be a number of iterations. I don't have p/s but intake side plumbing is the easy part - plumbing up the two gates etc looks to be the challenge (a challenge to do neatly that is).

as u can see the front waste gate is a pain in the arse lol

was also goin to run AFM's but it will be a difficult fit Y pipe/afm/ and filters with the turbo facing to the right

So the only option i can see atm is to run a D-jetro.. and good luck to the block whos doin the pluming for the wastegates :whistling:

TURBO IN!.zip

that should be a given, running a map sensor ecu.. btw awsome choice. need to get more bw data over here. im in the process of putting a 9179 on my gf rb25.. on a 6 boost. twin wg.= better but a pain in the ass to set up.

pic of turbon old manifold.

looks awsome mate... thats one fine lookin engine bay!! i may have to do something similar with my power steering reservoir

i have seen single set ups running AFMs, but didnt realise the dramas i was goin to have with the manifold pointing the turbo that way.

will be very interesting to see how the turbo performs in reguards to response with the twin scroll .. and yes get some data goin

went in pretty good. wastegates are a pain. ps.. make sure you check what springs are in them. i orderd mine with 0.7bar springs.

i pulled them apart, one had 0.9bar springs and the other had 4 springs in it... almost took my head off when i poped the top off...

9179 on 6 boost, 3.5" exhaust. twin tial mvr44, spooling at 3k. straight to limiter by 4500-5k throwing p/s belts of... sounds awsome.

got the wastegates with no springs in them so didnt have an issue with that, but yeah there is a fark load of spring pressure in them haha

had to use 3 springs to get the 1 bar setting though

pretty handy how both ur wastegates are together, i have one facing the front which could prove interesting

how much power u making mate? u reckon the twinscroll makes a difference as appose to single?

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
