CArFAn Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Are you anywhere near Norcal? Those houses seem to be the typical new style developed homes up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 that is one heck of a manifold. mig welds? i'd like to see what you do with a tig! hopefully mines turns out as good. haven't welded a lot lately =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k20a2ivtec Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 ive done rb swaps before to sx models, but it was plug and play. these 2 z's are my first real major projects. ive maid exhausts before, but these are my first headers. yea im in norcal, modesto/ceres area. yes, these are mig welded, i want to get a tig welder but so expencive.

Careless Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 i think the coolest thing is that both you and your bro have RB25 z's. having a brother that likes cars is one thing, having a brother that will have a same but different car is another. good stuff dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k20a2ivtec Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 yea, its cool, before we were the bros with rb'ed silvia, now well be the bros with skyline powered z's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 that header design looks extremely similar to an L28et Z i know, turbo mounted way up front and all. Awesome design, wondering how well the design will work, so is the L28 guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k20a2ivtec Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 would that l28 z guy be you? lol well i did alot of research on turbo headers and turbo applications before i started. this set up is far far from right, turbo is way to small, but when you get a turbonetics turbo for almost free, you dont complain. the turbo being that far up front is no problem, if everything you maid to get it up front was built right. mine have a couple parts that could be remaid/redesigned, but im going to make diff headers in the future. these ones were more or less just if i can do it or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 they're perfectly fine to get it running and have fun with it, I'm sure. even if you have a machine that could make a header on the press of a button, you gotta start somewhere and there will most likely be mistakes. i say good work! !!! !!!!!

k20a2ivtec Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 thanks, yea, this is fine to have some fun with, heck the stock set up is fine to go have fun with, rb = fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 yeah man, that is going to perform better than stock, no doubt. when i meant it was good to get it running and have fun with it, i meant it's going to take some damn good abuse. LOL. I have stainless flanges for my RB, but i'm thinking of getting regular steel flanges so that its' easier for me to weld my first header up (haven't welded stainless with my mig) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k20a2ivtec Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 shouldnt matter to much, ive welded stainless, only thing really is you have to be more "careful" (lol) with heat, stainless usually thinner then mild steel for exhausts. but im no welding master, and ive only welded stainless 2, maybe 3 times, could be wrong. yea shes gonna get beat up on, i need to put a flex pipe, and modify the pipe that gose under the trans mount, it hangs to close to the ground, hites the ground just bringing it out of the garage, dont wanna hit the ground and brake anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k20a2ivtec Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 well... after working out some bugs, and there are still alot more bugs... but got the car running and base tuned to where it drives around and dosnt go dangerously into lean or rich. and then a local shop had a dyno day, so figured what the heck, and put down 300whp and 287 wtq. and still building power, but having lil prob and red limiter is kicking at 6000 instead of 7. car still needs quit a bit of tuning/bug working out. but happy with the base numbers. this is at 1.0 bar. I have videos and dyno sheet, will post when i get a chance. scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
