Just noticed that i have 2 broken exhaust manifold studs. While i have the manifold off i was looking at getting it ported for better flow rather than getting a cheap stainless manifold.

would this be of any gains or a waiste of my time.

mods so far

splitfire coils

fmic

ebc

hyflowed turbo

bosch intank pump

turbo back exhaust

haltech ecu

any thoughts would be of help

The stock manifold is good for 300kw apparently, one thing you should do is get it faced, cause it will most likely be warped.

Also you could ceramic coat it i like did, might make a difference i hope.

another thing, replace all of the bolts, even the non broken ones with high quality bolts, no cheap stuff

get a die grinder, and take off any hard edges, curves, or castings.

I did it with mine. Apparently, when sending your manifold away for flowing, 80% of the flow is achieved with the die grinder, and the other 20% is achieved with extrusion honing.

You can get similar flow to a Low mount HKS cast manifold if you and grind good and do it properly.

Oh, and definitely get it faced.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
