I would have loved a BW turbo & full race manifold too.. but when both items cost as much as your car x2.. it's a stupid investment lol

This logic is not logical...how is anything that makes your car faster a stupid investment :rolleyes:

So I spoke to my fabricator and he thinks this is an awesome idea...I mean sure i could just buy an aftermarket manifold, and a cheap turbo and gate option and build the same car every body else does....but wheres the fun and discovery in that.....

need to start saving my pennies ;)

$2057 + $1978 + postage = $2,000??

He said half of what its worth :)

The price went down now anyway, it now sports broken sway links lol

You have another fabricator I assume Dave? I don't remember that conversation. lol. I'm sure I could sort out something Artz worthy though. :P

The stainless body Xspurt 1400's are released now, do you want me to buy you a set mate? You can't be driving around on petrol still...

ohh fekkkkkkkkkking shit box.. I wanna burn it (if only it had full comprehensive insurance)

LOL FYI your sway links are no worse a design than an S chassis and an S14 has a 27mm front sway from stock.

Just bad luck IMHO :)

I'll fix that, then something else will break.. like my wideband, it's completely dead now. I bought a new sensor and it still showing HTR...

I give up, I want a C63 AMG lol

lol welcome to the hobby.

Buying C63 = giving up. You're not a quitter are you ;) ?

nooooo just lazy.. bought a new fan clutch, turns out the farking thing was seized.. ended up bending more fins on the radiator to remove the fan (again) - didn't want to dump my radiator fluid and take out the radiatro just to remove the fan

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
