look at that entry path, how could it not work well....;)

That's some mighty fine workmanship there. Exactly as you stated how could that NOT work. Perfect gas flow both ways. Why would you bother running a waste gate off your manifold when you can have that :)

haha yep sure is, its mounted on the 0.82TS gt30 bolted to a low mount 6boost, extreme stealth :ph34r:

No it's off the housing Artz, so you found someone up there to fab my design ideas Mark? Looks great. Had it tuned yet?

I did a T67 this way not long ago, no results though. Using the gate as the bend makes the path as straight as it can be, especially if plumbing the screamer back.

Yeah i decided to just leave it in at a workshop, came highly recommended by MTQ, very appreciative of your fab ideas scotty, and to ARTS

for the Xspurts injectors ideas, :cheers:

will be a few weeks before its tuned, still got a few things to do yet but hopefully will start it up for the first time on the weekend :woot:

Heya Mark,

Does the dump/turbo setup touch any of the stock A/C lines or the A/C drain rubber hose? I've seen a few setups that end up toasting the A/C rubber drain..

and low mount looks teh secks... MOAR photos :)

its not touching any A/C lines but its close as you can see in the pics, i think insulating all the wires and a/c lines will be a good idea, im not finished yet,

going to do a proper heatshield over the manifold and then a big cold air intake box and feed plus painting all pipes black,

to me , it almost looks kind of stockish looking? or kinda close as these mods can be, the 4inch intake is a beauty :whistling:

Is that the manifold thats a real PITA to fit ?

Cheers A .

I don't see any probems,

although the ceramic coating was a slight PITA, had to sand it off in places to get the housing back on.. :closedeyes:

By the way, I've got my wastegate mounted on my housing as well. Unfortunately it's not welded on as well as the one Scotty did, mine is at 90 degrees to the exhaust flow. It still holds boost in a perfectly flat line though, no creep. Will upload a graph on Tuesday/Wednesday when it is hopefully holding ~23psi dead flat ;)

that's interesting that it works on a 90deg angle, my tuners had situations like that where 6boost manifolds have had the gate at 90degrees and it will start boosting up to a bar with the gate not even attached but then theres guys that have zero problems, i didn't want to take any chances so i put the gate on the housing to make sure.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
