I will ask, maybe it is the old one just sitting there, I do not think he would use a gasket that is not good enough for the job ?

Seen enough of them leak to not use them.

In a perfect world if the manifold flange and the turbo housing are dead flat then single layer one would be fine......but it is not always a perfect world.

I doubt he would something that would stuff the job to save a $ , that does not seem to be what he does , if he did use the gasket I would say it is dead flat :)

The 6 Boobs mani looks the biz.

Is that a single layer gasket sitting on there Pete......? Tell however speced that to stop being a cheap bastard and put a good multi layer one on like a Permaseal.

He uses Silicone for the gasket

Almost like he has done one or two before

Spot on, guess it is that RTV Silicone :)

He is going slowly through my car and sorting out what he thinks will get the best results and I cannot wait to see / feel the difference the changes make.

People around here are acting like Jez is a noob.

Such noobs

Once he told me he was using Silicone I had to Google it, I did not know they had a Silicone that could handle that much heat, so learnt a little more today :)

So manifold is in and looking pretty.

Turbo going on?

Turn the wick up yet?

Should be on the Dyno very soon

The wick up, I hope so , especially in the response zone, E85 and the boost controller should let me turn it up on demand :yes: But I cannot use the top end power now , well a little, unless I start going to Sydney and have some fun on track days for dummies :cheers:

"You cannot use the top end power"?

You can it just may get you into some trouble.

It is easy enough to get into enough trouble with an old VW :)

But these Rs can get you into BIGGER trouble :spank:

I wouldn't know Jez from a bar of soap, but if he is using shit products like cheap single layer gaskets on a high end build like this I thought I would comment.

......sorry I thought this was a forum?

    • 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.
