stony Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Or i guess you could notch the frame to make a bigger turbo fit. I was considering this but my motor turned out to be bad and i got my rb26 :> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed260Z Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Wouldn't notching the frame weaken the cars structure? Unless you weld in some bar stock to triangulate the front tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might dampen a little for me too so my hands wont hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianZ Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'd put a spacer on the turbo and have it stick up out of the hood a litle. but that's jsut me. maybe I'll do it if i got with an rb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did that I'd get a nice coffe can to use as a muffler! Anybody want some RICE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good for some forced air into the turbo and 10-15hp under the right conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is about HKS Cast Manifold not about top mount stainless manifolds. Go to another thread and hijack that one instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Q have you fiqured out what you plan on doing? From your post I can tell your starting to get aggrivated. Just my suggestion here, so don't get to mad. Put the manifold back on Ebay, I sure you'll get more for it now since it looks so sweet. And for now go back to your original plan of using all the stock turbo components. Would porting the stock exhaust manifold help at all? I'm still in the process of building my swap, in my head, and I've noticed that all of the new manifold that I've seen push the turbo(s) out too far. What I realy liked about that one is that the turbo is mounted on the bottom. I preffer a tight mounting set up. There comes a time when you just need to stop . Step back and let it go. Get the car running, and then find a setup that you like. Besides I'm looking forward to some more write ups on your swap. So lets get going.

If I clock the turbo correctly I might even be able to squeeze on a T04 Housing (I highly highly doubt it). But for now the stock turbo DOES fit onto the manifold so I will work on that throughout the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could anyone do that. I could pick my Z out, with out thinking about it. I have yet to see one Z look like another. (Maybe when they where new) How are you thinking of cocking the turbo? And do you really think your going to get much performance gain by useing that manifold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why I got this manifold was due to the external wastegate port. Now I don't know if you saw that. Another reason was because the manifold was T3 flanged, so it sets me up to use countless numbers of turbos (if the clearance is good). So external + T3 flanged was why I got it. Plus cast so it wont crack as easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Aren't most t3 flanged turbos internally gated though? And isn't the stock flange t3? I don't get it. It is a nice looking manifold though. Which turbo were you planning on using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea you could do that. I learn something new every day. I figured you wanted that manifold due to its external wastegate. Can you install a slightly taller engine mount (The rubber part) to gain a bit more clearence? I don't think another 1/2" should affect the car to much.

Guest Deceeve Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Do you guys know where i can get this RB25DET hi-flow Cast manifold?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT: so you will update your project to day 17 soon then? It's been a while since "3/5/2006" Looking forward to that already @ Deceeve: Thoose are usually on ebay. keep an eye on ebay in Australia also. Think Jps trading on ebay.com have sold a few of thoose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
