i went the .82 exhaust on my rb25 and i love it. Lag is basically non existant through gear changes. full boost before 4,000rpm and strong power all the way to 7200. The .63 will be more responsive yes, but by how big a margin? Id much rather a fatter mid range and top end than be super responsive and flatten out from high mid to top. but all depends on what you want out of the setup.

You stick a bung in the turbo intake and pump it full of air man

What he said, my turbo inlet is 4 inch. So I went to bunnings got a 100mm PVC pipe end cap and about 3 inches of 100 mm pipe. Glued them together wile I was there ^^" ... Then drilled a hole and epoxied an air line hose fitting in the end cap. It was a tight fit into the front silicone but it goes on... Used a hose clamp!!! Lol... Then set the reg on the compressor to like 5 psi first. Plug it in and u can hear leaks right away.

No other blocking of anything

yeah its weird how that works.. you would think the air would just go through the valves and out the exhaust but you can get some pressure in there... i got 25psi into mine.

Aparently beanies can lead to internal bearing damage if left on and raced with. No idea how. Hpc coating increases thermal efficiency in the turbo which leads to better response. Plus if you hpc coat it silver the chicks will flock... hard. But in all seriousness when I do go a steampipe manifold ill be hpc coating the manifold and turbo housing. Looks good, doesn't get that rusted look from heat, serves a purpose.

I saw 900 degree manifold temps regularly at the track, all with a beanie on. The car has done 6 hard track days and daily driving for many years without issue.

As long as the CHRA is water cooled you should be fine.

    • Thanks, I'll give that a go. Hard pass on the steel bushings though 😄
    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
