A question, what makes the difference between a low mount exhaust manifold and a high mount manifold? Does it disapate heat easier? Does it allow more room to fit larger turbos in? Does it provide a shorter route?

What is the main difference between the two?

  • 2 months later...
anyone interested in a group buy?

Depending on Price and when you were thinking of getting them in...

I have been looking at some of those beig sold by another guy on Yahoo Japan.. his "Buy now" price is 50,000 Yen though.. Which through 'pp-oz' buying them off of Yahoo Japan for me, works out to be about $900 delivered to my door..

What sort of price to get these landed and delivered in Aus?

Also interested in Rear Adjustable Upper Control Arms and Engine Dampeners to suit an R32 GTR if you are keen on going a bit bigger with the buy up..

thats the one ive got , it gave me an extra 12rwkws at the same boost.

as in the same turbo, same set-up, only difference was the changing to this manifold?

it would make sense that some sort of manifold would flow better than the stocker... just look at the stupid stock thing...?! its like getting extractors on an NA car i suppose...

has anyone tried an aftermarket manifold with the stock turbo?

At that price I am in if we are looking at doing this relatively soon. (ie. Next month or two.) I got confirmation last night that these SECTION manifolds mount in the stock position, I have also seen some people weld a few sections of metal onto them so that they can mount the stock heat shield over the top, I am looking into this now for mine. As well as Ceramic Coating.. (But I am pedantic when it coems to these things)

I will keep my eye on this thread, if you start another one, please reference it in here.

In terms of dump pipes I am looking at the Trust ones as the feed for the wastegate pipe is a lot further down, you ahve to buy them as a dump/front combination, but the fruther down the collection point the less restriction and potential turbulence issues you will get up near the turbine..

if you can win some at the 32000yen they are currently at I would be interested too. even up to around 40000yen.

don't forget you'll have to pay someone to buy and ship them and they won't be particularly cheap to post (quite heavy/bulky), plus factor in some import duty + GST for good measure.

Sort of on the same topic, does anyone know of a cheaper version of the bridged low mount manifiolds?

My GT-RS terbs shuffle like a bastard during boost build up and I have the option of either adding a bridge to my existing manifolds (prefer not to as they are nicely ceramic coated inside and out) or selling them to buy a bridged pair.

Gav mate,

do you just mean a metal bracket to brace the two together or an actual tube that will join the exhaust gas from the two manis?

I'm going to assume you mean bracket, in which case I reckon you are better off adding one to the manifolds you have.

Anyone wishing to organise a gorup buy on the turbo outlet pipes like the picture above, I am keen.. I know the stokcer pipes are majorly restrictive..

The crossover pipes are a good idea to equalise turbine pressure, but I always have a concern about any possible reversion causing turbulence, but this would be at certian rev ranges only and if you're trying to run GT-RS's then I gues you need all the help you can get..

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
