Hey nismogts-x

Calm down and listen

Your two photos sho Fa of teh head just of teh top of two very different manifolds NICs 12 dual intake runners and the HR31 Eccs 6 runners but both go into the same butterfly plates into the same 12 port head.

take the manifolds of either of those engines and your still going to get this

I know Ive dont many times. Works Auto knows it too also having a HR31 Eccs 12 port head and his friend with a VL whos head been off twice another hr31 eccs 12 port head. As in we have done this ourselves we are not net parroting, we are not spreading hearsay, we are not quoting for somebody else who has done teh work.... 1st hand account

Ego aside

HR31 is 12 port either NICs or ECCS

If we keep it one brief post at a time we can get through this and Im sure we'll all learn something

This is an ECCS Red top....

This picture even though it has a ECCS manifold , has a 12 port head, between the runners and the head , there is a small 40mm spacer which has the vacuum operated flaps. It is a 12 prt head.

Dont try and argue because we have had about 3 of these motors apart.

How about you take the motor apart in the pic and see what i mean.

The r32 computer can be remapped whereas the r31 motor cant.

This is what u said...

I am talking about the intake manifold....

You are the one that is confused about head/intake

Ok.... Its gotten a bit out of hand...

There are a few confused people...

Ill save a long story and say what i was aiming to say...

Options:

1. R32 RB20det - Great bang for ya buck, heaps of cheap mods aviable, heaps of parts

2. R31 RB20det ECCS - Great bang for ya buck, hard to find parts sometimes, very touchy, not as reliable as 32 motor

3. R31 RB20det NICS - Extreamlly good top end performance motor, expensive to mod to the level where it passes the 32 motor, however its chea to begin with.... mods endless, very solid block and good internals....

so you found out both 31 heads are the same?? and now choose to save face by brushng the issue of and suggesting that we are confused by your own statements?

what exactly did you mean when you said this?

"There is a big difference between the NICS & ECCS heads on the red top RB20det...."

as its also a cast iron block (however is 60kgs heavier than and R32 motor)

I thought all RBs whether 20/25/26/30 all had cast iron blocks, and alloy heads. I cant see a 60kg weight difference between ECCS & NICS. That is A LOT of extra metal.

What does an ECCS RB weigh, approx 140kgs???, then NICS must weigh 200kg, thats Holden 308 territory. That cant be right.

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
