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?

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday.
