jakeoster Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) I just dropped gobs of money on a a manifold that wont suck. There sure is a surplus on after market RB gear, but like the L series you have to spend some bucks to do it right. The Chinese eBay stuff is no bueno. Looking good so far Phil.

xonix_digital Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Loved this vid. Great to see and hear about the speed bumps you hit when doing this build. I lol'd at the leg press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianz Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) It looks good so far ! Should be a fun engine thats for sure. You should be just fine with that manifold, I have run one that is very similar for 3 years on my 25 and it is holding up fine. I did have to modify the wastegate runner and the turbo flange for my build just as a heads up. Alot of the chinese stuff is okay, as long as its a simple part, headers, intercoolers, intake manifolds etc, the fit and finish is crap but it gets the job done with a bit of work. Besides at the end of the day I could buy 5 of those manifolds for the price of one Full Race or similar piece.

BLOZ UP Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Anyone got a Cliff's of that video? Was the engine running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeoster Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Anyone got a Cliff's of that video? Was the engine running? Nearly there; it's showing the mods one must do to fit an RB25 head to an RB30 block. It ends with him stabbing it into the S14 chassis. =================== I wonder why the PO even bothered putting on the manifold and spending the money going with an external gate when the turbo isn't much bigger then the stock one.
