Hey Chris what's been happining any up dates on the manifold?

I finally have got motivated enough to get some material to do one myself :-)

The manifold I'm making will be the same low mount design as stock .

I have found a good way to cut merges on the band saw at work

I'm using 36 nominal nominal bore pipe who's is the 3mm wall so 42 od

I'm going with 4 into one collecter ( when u examine the stock mani u will under stand why I went with the 4 instead of 6 into one )

For my merge I'm going with a 20 degree cut angle as well

The manifold will be made out of 304 ss and fully perged for maximum strength an reliability

Ideally I want to sit pretty much in exactly the same spot as factory :-)

Although There will be a lot of test fitting and trial and error

I'm hoping all goes well :-) any pointers?

Also I pulled the head off a facked rb20 I had and was gunna bolt the mani to that when welding hopefully it will suck some the heat and won't distort too much

All the best

Bejay

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
