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!

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.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
