no probs will do. Its going on the dyno next Friday to test some thing else but that will also answer the spiking question. It seems to be holding and no where near as violent but I aint keen on thrashing it on the street to confirm.

Run mine up today with one of these manifolds. 14psi spring in the manifold and dead steady boost control. Run it up to 17psi and no boost creep what so ever. Very happy.

Any pics of the setup on your car mate?

Sean would love that tight bend right before the throttle body :laugh:

You have the AFM in the cooler piping I take it??

Yeah its rather tight, after talking to a few more people about a FFP im really thinking it may be next :(

Yeah afm's just after the intercooler, i was expecting to have hose problems with it blowing off but didnt have one :)

No but I can grab some. Because the power steering line loops up on the 34's makes the intake pipe tight and the waste gate port runs pretty close to the a/c lines. Not problems though. Had to chop up a 14mm spanner to get 2 bolts done up to and trim 2 studs, actually easier to bolt on then my mate's 6 boost.

Just spent 2 days reading this whole thread (hiding at work haha) general concensus seems good for the money. At the end of the day it's stronger than a china manifold, but cheaper than a 6boost. As long as they fit + hold together + hold boost their a winner in my book. I couldn't care less about pretty welds if they do what their supposed to - but that's just me.

Pm sent

I'm going to wait till there's a twin scroll / split pulse one.. I'll be all over that shit like a sale at bunnings

We do Top mounts currently with split pulse,

Without gate? I am planning to mount the gate on the rear housing instead of off the manifold

Hey MSports what size gate did you end up using? I have to change mine to suit a bigger gate cos I'm spiking from 4500 and above witht the durty 30 with about 20psi worth of springs fitted. I used a Turbosmart 40mm gate.

Yeah, its still a tad messy, was in a rush to finish it, Still gotta neaten it all up.

does it clear the A/C lines, heater lines, extra brake lines (ABS)?

also with the gate installed, does it clear the suspension tower ok?

PICS PICS PICS of under car etc... :)

I used a Tial 44mm MVR, no spiking what so ever, flat boost curve the whole time.

I'll grab some pic's soon, been at work all week, i work 12hr shifts so havnt had a chance.

The A/C line's need to be moved towards the strut tower, i just cable tied it away. Heater hoses are clear although i heat wrapped mine and clear's the ABS fine. No clearance problems anywhere.

I had no clearance problems with my R33, but the gate pipe was sitting way too close to the aircon lines, so i cut it and adjusted the angle slightly and it sits better now. That part could do with a slight redesign tho.

the photos aren't that clear on his eBay site.... but is the wastegate port perpendicular to the flow of the outlet?

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
