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.

    • Hey guys I have a 2001 Nissan stagea vq25det, I don't have any engine lights and not really any issues running but I was curious to see if I could use my obd II scanner to find anything that was hidden and I plugged my scanner in and it just said "Low voltage cannot scan" does anyone know how to fix this or what this could be?
    • Sadly we have something in common, our Skyline's like blowing up electrically 😢
    • So, no videos, but, the FAB9 Elite manifold and 68mm Bosch throttle bodies are in stock, but, not the rear part of the air box The FAB9 rear airbox thingie is made with a 3" intake pipe, to suit the 3" intake pipe size of a 68mm throttle body  When they get some more in stock is currently unknown as I'm waiting for FAB9 to reply with a ETA on resupply, my assumption is they outsource their plastic printing stuff to "china", and with the current "tariff war" going on in 'Merica it could be on hold for an undisclosed time Should I pull the pin on the Intake and throttle body, and wait for the airbox?????, that's what I'm thinking... 1. Would the standard 2.75" OEM intake on the air box really be that much of a restriction compared to the 3" naturally aspirated?????? 2. If I don't get the 3" FAB9 airbox fitted at the same time as the intake and throttle body will it need a retune, when/if it eventually turns up?????? As I'm impulsive, to a fault, decisions will be made within....."what's the time now"???....let's say 12 hours......LOL
    • yeah its just so expensive nowadays and its easy to lose motivation very quickly when you start adding up the costs. I acquired the car from a collector in Melbourne and was lucky to get the opportunity to buy something already completed.  I looked at a proper resto and your paying over 300-400K for a proper one (nut and bolt) so this one to me seemed like a much better option! Car is in private storage and for serious buyers, welcome to come see it/drive it in person (photos don't do it justice).
