Looks fantastic but wondering about the practicality of it for 2 reasons.

1 - The movement in the pipe will be slightly more than the engine since it's further away from the mounts.

2- The HEAT coming out of that is surely going to bubble the bonnet.

Nah, I've seen the screamer through the bonnet on a few cars at Powercruise over the years, no visible damage to the bonnet or paint or carbon or anything else. Seems to work fine.

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!!!!

Nice right??

So here's a sneak peak of my finished manifold before we go through the process

Ok I kid :)

Here we go!

Quick break to check my pistons for any detonation marks

Meanwhile he's doing that I'm sorting out my new fuel system, wiring for the AEM V2, cas trigger disc, suspension, new wheels, hicas abs delete etc

Nice welding mate, how do you fabricate the contoured CHS parts for the merge collectors ?

The collector is built using spayed cut pipe. From there he just welds them together and ports it out by hand.... Nothing exotic there.

Nice work! What are the engine specs? And is that one of those "oil less" Comp Turbos? Not a popular choice - be interesting to hear how it goes

Tomei genesis RB28 shortblock

Mild port on head

Multiangle valve job

Tomei valve springs

Greddy 264 9.1 cams (gonna go more aggressive later like 272 11 lift)

This comp turbo is not oil-less, you can see the feed and Drain in a couple pics

They hadn't released that technology yet when I got this turbo about 4-5 years ago, they literally released billet wheels a month or two after I ordered it otherwise I would've gone billet

It's a 72mm triple ball bearing SX wheel .81 hotside

Selling price?

he said he could do the 1st couple at $1700usd to break into the Australian market

Once they prove themselves there (and they will) the price would bump up a little

This includes a manifold setup for twin tial gates

Ahh silly me - cheers for the details, sounds like it's going to be a bit of a monster :)

I'm located in the US. I have my own race shop in AZ. Just curious on the product. Looks great.

I really wanted to be but I'm still not 100% ready for my largest race for the season coming up in a few weeks. I have a new motor installed that I haven't heard make noise yet!!! We might make a day trip cause I have a few empty body panels that could use sponsorship. Kinda up to the wife also.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
