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

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
