so is it any good though? :) (getting a GT35/40R to sit under it)

 

wastegate doesn't sit too high does it? going on the RB31DET in the 32 so hopefully i can close the bonnet....

 

Anyone got any pics of what it looks like setup??

From the pic, the turbo will sit onto on the manifold. not under, which might make everything a tight sqeeze down there.

If u can get it cheap the it might be worth it, coz cast stuff like manifolds aint the best.

1. I agree with what Roy said about it being low mount. It HAS to because of the stud pattern.

2. How much research have you done to come to the conclusion x manifold is better than y manifold?? Please explain....

and there is more room now under the manifold due to the height on the new motor :)

Sorry abo0ut the stupid question, but how the HELL does a low mount manifold sit a turbo above it????

And equal length runnners and steampipe arn't the be all and end all of manifolds. Its more about how the pipes merge into each other, then into the turbo flange. If you dont know this manifold does go 3,2,1...

INASNT, the top mount is for the wastegate. Have a look at the two runners with the bolt direction different from the other four.

The two that are different go to the rear of the block.

Bl4cK32, have you had the inside de burred/tidied up? It may be worth ceramic coating or wrapping it before it goes on too. Looks like a vast improvement on the stock item, as the gasses are merged rather than slammed into eachother.

If it doesnt fit, just get a hump in the bonnet, or even a raised vent. Would serve a dual purpose that way.:)

Look where the flange on your manifold. When u bolt the manifold to the head the flange it facing up, so the turbo will bolt on to the flange making the turbo sit ontop of the manifold. Low mount means the turbo is still sitting down beside the head not high above the cam covers.

DOH, i didnt look at the pic that carefully :)

That manifold doesent look like it will make the turbo sit high enough up to cause any bonnet closing problems

Just arrived in Australia Steve :) but some work will be done to it (heat wrap or coating) the inside looks pretty damn smooth...

A nice hole in the bonnett for the wastegate eh:D

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
