Carl,

People also report a much nicer sound and more throttle response. Do you get this?

I love a car that leaps off the line and goes from 60-80-100 in a jump.

T.

Dam thats a good result bigcarl :uh-huh:

T0nyGTSt I don't know if it was the bigger turbo or better cooler pipes and cooler(I did it all at once) but I noticed it revved quicker and has a meaty sound :uh-huh: but that could be the bigger exhaust housing?

I had to get both of my manifold faces faced coz it was a little out also.

It also mounted the turbo in the stock position sort of :freak: just the exhaust mounts had to be bent about 10mm towards the front coz it did'nt line up.

yea i saw the r31 gtsr manifold on a single turbo rb26 set up. was wondering how close the turbo would be to its original position. looked like you might be able to swing the compresser housing round and the dump would get close.

were could ya find one?

semi good news about the china mani's hey, they work but seems like ya end up spending extra on them patching them up. In the end it might be worth while getting a brand name. Im still not sure so ill wait and see the results, keep us posted guys!

and another question guy's what size turbos are you putting on these things. my turbo has a .6 ar compresser housing and to get it to fit onto the stock manifold i had to cut the heat sheld and angle grind the thrid runner to get it to fit. (as u can kind of see in my avtar)

If these china manifolds give more room with the design would be great.

with mine everything lined up perfect, im running hi flow stock turbo. we found that boost could also be turned up to 20psi with no pinging but one of my stock coil packs started to break down but once i rectify this will be making close to 240rwkws.

interesting results....

although i always have been under the impression that exhaust runners that are tuned length jobs always outperform the standard .. suppose that goes without saying really.

as u really want the gas to arrive at the turbo at the same time .. helping spool up and reponsiveness. basically?? if these so called "tuned length" aussie designs were tuned length the results would show .. obviously they dont know what there doing then??

might give one of these china manifolds a go eventually. anyways. pity they dont have them for external gated setups.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
