Hello just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with ks racing manifolds, I recently purchased a top mount and am happy with the overall quality but the angle of the t3 seems to be pointing the turbo  really close to the valve cover, I currently don’t have a turbo to test fit but am looking to get a 3076 and am thinking I may have fitment issues and was wondering what people have done to counter act this, and yes I’m aware 6boost is what I should have bought before everyone comments that haha. Any input appreciated 🥂

Does seem to be a stupid angle. You might end up needing an angled spacer. The trouble with spacers is they use up....space and the angle might get better but the room left is still not enough.

Yea I was thinking about a spacer but came to the same conclusion I was hoping my eyes were playing a trick on me and someone has had success with the same manifold 

Sorry but WTF is that merge collector 😳😳😳

I sincerely hope that u got that for free or basically free.

I can’t see that working out for you. The most hassle free way to fix it is to take it off and buy something better.

yeah sorry but that does look pretty sh1t. I use one like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003648296789.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.11.6567474c9ga2rG&algo_pvid=912783c9-3044-4f88-a035-728286787b0c&algo_exp_id=912783c9-3044-4f88-a035-728286787b0c-5&pdp_npi=4%40dis!AUD!192.70!192.7!!!121.98!!%402101f49f16923538504684434e3acc!12000026642021204!sea!AU!4138068839!&curPageLogUid=W4PW53XF41pW   

yes the wastegate outlet is shocking. No argument there...but with an EBC and the right sized turbo, boost control is not an issue. I was prepared to internally ground shite welds etc but it didn't have any issues like that, it is of decent thick construction, 3?+ years and no cracking, apart from where the wastegate tube comes out of the manifold. Welded that up and welded in a small brace to that tube, and haven't had any further issues. Fits GTX3076 just fine. I was looking at 6boost but bought this cos it was about $280 aus delivered so why not, and very happy with that choice years on now.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
