I've got everything except the turbine housing just waiting to be installed. They tell me late March for the housing but these days it's hard to predict delivery dates. 

I'm looking forward to the convenience and reliability of V-Bands on everything.

I like the amount of room they give around the a/c line and etc, they were a nightmare with my 6boost 

That was my first thought also. 

I dropped coin on a frenchies kit, which is really awesome but be nice if the factory stuff all fit better with 6boost. 

Not sure how I feel about the compressor outlet being so close to the manifold though. 

Very keen to see one of these with a heat blanket over them. 

I'm going to get some mounts welded to mine to hold a rigid heat shield, I'm not fan of wraps or ceramic coatings. I hope the cast material welds ok, my fabricator reckons it will be fine but we'll see. 

Still an 8 week lead time on my turbine housing and no ETA on sequential box so I'm not in a rush.

Watched this yesterday, a lot of BIAS as they are now selling them but given how little info around I thought I would share. 

They claim 15% power increase ... yer I wish, love to see this comparison if anyone has seen it. 

 

So far the advantages over a 6 boober  seem to be :

Comes with a gate flange

Lighter - 5kg ish ? 

More compact - better AC and would help reduce heat transfer

Has a heat blanket option

Downsides :

Clearance of studs(6boober has this too) 

Higher cost

Reverse rotation turbos only( big issue for those that have a turbo) 

 

 

I really love it when people create smoothly distributed pulse-free gas inlets and outlets with no upstream or downstream geometry, no pressure fluctuations (which are actually waaaaay more than just fluctuations in a turbo manifold) on things like manifolds, then present a steady state solution instead of a transient solution. It's so sad.

And, to use the CFD that's built into Solidworks and present that as if it is any bloody good at all it even sadder.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
