I'm just gonna get right down to it
Was running a poorly built 1 1/4" steam pipe log manifold made with pipe tee's and 90s... It cracked all to shit in a matter of 1000 miles (guy didn't know what he was doing/no purge etc)
He's a couple pics of the log

Like I said within 1000-1500 miles it was cracked to shit!!!!

Sick!!! I wanna here the thing dumping out of the gate at full noise!

Where you at? Northern States? Canada?

Nice fab work anyway, I agree with the above, full build thread required!

yea its not tuned yet. My tuner is actually a very good friend of mine from way back.... He's so unbelieveably busy with his business and flying planes (second job) we haven't had the time to tune it yet. I switched to AEM (map) from an L-Jet Power FC so we gotta start all over.

we'll see how these ID's like 80psi base fuel pressure.

I had the gate dumping under the car for a while than we recirc'd it into the DP. I think it will sound much better with this manifold over the log style though.

Its getting so late in the season here Im really not rushing it.... I don't know if it will be 100% until spring at this point, we'll see.

PS.... anyone notice its not a GT-R? :)

Edited by R32N00B

hows the boost control?

It's a 60mm gate

Shouldn't be an issue

Hard to tell in pictures but it's the pipe to the gate is over 2.5inches

Using a Greddy Profec-B spec 2 solenoid with the AEM V2

(The downpipe is 90mm/3.5in and the IC pipe is 3in)

Edited by R32N00B

Looks great.

You may have boost control issues when the screamer fills with snow though... :P

LOL Nahhhh, by the time the motor is warm enough to crack gate the snow will have melted and the gate unfrozen.

Besides, one blast of that gate will blow anything out of the way lol

  • Like 1

:thumbsup: approved!!

wonder if the log manifold was done with the wrong filler rod?

I know he didnt backpurge..... he also didnt bolt it to steel plate while welding either so the flange kept warping pretty hard.

I will post vids when the time comes but its so late in the season now It might not be until spring/April

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
