It needs to, otherwise there is zero point in making the manifold split pulse.

I was going the single gate route but got talked out of it.... No regrets!

Won't quote names but I've seen a few from big brands appear to be split until both pulses are just going into 1x big 50 mm hole to the gate.

Best I've seen from one brand was an open scroll manifold with a divided T3 flange welded on top lol

yeah 6 boost did the spilt for the gate. 

I did all the fab work, trust me you dont want anymore pipe work under there. In saying that my gate is plumbed back in which makes it a bit harder. Screamer pipes are easier to route. 

But at the end of the day, what for - why make it harder and most $$$ for the same result.

Also the plate thats welded up the inside of the pipe from the mani to gate flange - Hangs out past the end of the pipe, once you weld the V band onto the end of the pipe - you than shape the "spilt plate" to suit the back of the waste gate, so its sealed up.

This would be practically no different to the IWG housings, and i'd be pretty confident that it would be as good as twin gates.

What stumps me is when people do have a split pulse manifold and the single gate isn't divided..

Given r32-25t has posted a dyno of his -5's with vcam on the same dyno presumably as this i thought i'd put them together for interests stake. 

Of course if ramp rate was different etc might cause comparison issues but i figure this is better than most considering its same dyno and a short period of time apart.

For what its worth, going on boost curves etc, i'd expect my 2.8/9.5:1 8374 to be to the left of the -5 curve. But its hard to say if street feel would line up on a dyno etc. 

 

But yes if i had another spare 5000 i'd get vcam.

Your car would belt the 5s just like every other back to back 5s vs 8374.

Plus a run in tune would be low on timing I'd like to think which should fatten up the middle a bit more. 

V cam on your car would probably just induce surge. With the hi comp and .92 it wouldn't need any help getting it spooling! 

Piggies car would start surging on the dyno as low as 2800rpm. 

So even if it had v cam on it, you couldn’t move the intake cam anyways.

New EFR crew member checking in....

Manifold will be a 6boost w/ twin gates.

Wastegates will be tial mv-s.

Exhaust will be plumbed back via 3.5" downpipe

The EFR will be used on a SR20DET with a fully ported NAPREC head, big valve chamber with deleted squish pads.

ETA for completion is probably 6 months away.

Having been in a 2.8L EFR machine, the thing is completely mental and beats stock response with quadruple the power.  THEY ARE MAGIC fellas.

might plot that tomorrow arvo if i get a chance.

Note the one i already plotted was -5's with vcam.

 

As the pig said thats also the same v cam and rolling road not hub dyno like the -5 result. So theres a possibility that its a "higher reading" vs the rollers.

Because I was worried about the exact same thing I spoke to Jez about that and his dynos are within 3% of each other 

Sweet thanks for clearing that up ?

So lets call it "on par" you're at about 160kw at 4000.. The 8374 is at about 240kw at 4000??

80kw through the middle with 60kw up top. 

Thats quite alot more power EVERYWHERE! 

Plus all those nice things EFR delivers that the dynosheet doesn't show...

I'm happy with mine also but coming from Tomei ARMS that wouldn't be a glowing endorsement :P

did take it for a bit of a moutain squirt last week and its great, no 'to large to be fun' issues... and (once i get e85/boost) will have a shitload of power for whenever else i want it

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
