nothing done today, had a hard night and have just been sat watching tv most of the day recovering :Snoring

have been thinking about my manifold and how small and restrictive it looks but im not sure or have seen other single turbo manifolds :confused:

what do you guys think??

karl_tate · March 09, 2009, 06:15:11 PM

any views please guys?? i might get one made up.

oh and clutch turned up today

Doesn\'t look too bad. What size turbo are you looking at running ?? What porting have you done to the engine ?

Isn\'t the thread on the right the water temp sensor ?

if the thread is next to the oil filler on the centre plate, its an oil breather but you may find that its actually blocked. Have you looked in it or poke a bit of wire down there.

What turbo are you running? GT35?? it looks like a T3 flange. The fanimold looks good, certainly no point making anything bigger if you are keeping the turbo with a T3 flange. doesnt matter how big the runners are if you run the smaller flange.

Good work btw, when you going to have it running?

cheers guys

its running a TD06 with some heavy porting, there is some pictures either further back in this thread or the other one. the water temp sensor is above the oil pressure sensor isnt it??

yeh its the thread near the oil filler, here is a better picture which ive just realised im just about pointing at it :rollin ive tried to have a look but carnt really see, i will be able to just put a bolt in there or would it be better to connect a breather system up?? where are the other outlets??

not sure when it will be running as i have to test the loom first

but fingers crossed get the engine in this week/weekend. after that i have to make the mounts for the rad and intercooler and sort the rad pipes etc etc

well here is the clutch and i thought i might as well go bolt it on while i had a bit of time.

also gave the manifold to my dad to take to get ported a little bit and cleaned in the washer thinglymajig.

I assume your turbo hot side inlet is a T3 and not T4 with a conversion plate?

Is the threaded hole blocked? also, do you have a hole on the other side of the filler over the rear rotor housing?

you will need your breather system or you will be blowing your dipstick out along with lots of oil. You must let the pressure and oil vapour out of the sump and catch the oil in something. There is another outlet on the filler tube and on some 13b\'s there is one poking out of the other side of the centre plate pointing towards the oil filter.

Yeh its a t3. Just bolts straight on.

Cheers for that. It doesnt seem to be blocked but it will have to have a closer look.

The one opposite it on the other side of the plate has a cap on it.

Thanks for your help

karl_tate · March 14, 2009, 05:43:26 PM

ENVYD · March 14, 2009, 06:12:20 PM

looking good mate, is it going to be ready for the JDM allstars drift event?

karl_tate · March 15, 2009, 05:41:56 PM

when is it again?? i hope to have it all finished around the end of april time. how is yours going??

ENVYD · March 15, 2009, 05:59:29 PM

lol 4th and 5th of april, erm okay as of now! just a small oil leak i am sorting out with lindop but every thing else is fine!

just need to get it mapped at 1 bar for more power lol!

karl_tate · March 15, 2009, 06:04:28 PM

ah rite, thats a no then probably.

where is it leaking from, sump?? what i night mare that is, as you have to take the subframe off. get them to map it to 1 bar when they sort the leak out

karl_tate · March 22, 2009, 08:16:22 PM

bit more done this weekend, starting to get somewhere now.

decided to have a look at how im going to mount the rad and intercooler and at what angle to put them at, made some templates out of cardboard to get a rough idea and will be making them up tomorrow hopefully.

then moved onto the rest of the dreaded wiring :rollin

chopped and added where i needed to and soldered and heat shrinked up. just a bit more to do in this area then it can all be loom taped up and tidied. also got the alternator and starter wires run though to the big fuse as well ready to be cut to length. all the black tape is temporary as well btw :p

and then ive got this lot to sort out as well :2Confused :Giggle

turbo, plenum and intercooler are all at my mates work ready for a final polish, ive had enough :Snoring
