They are nice manifolds, definatly worth the money. They inconel (sp?) ones for the z32 with a very similar design are around $2000. ---

HKS 40mm External wastegate… that is the main reason why I would like a pixs of the complete exhaust manifold setup(drives and passenger side). I’ll probably be using a GT35R or GT40 turbo. :E ---

You do the welding yourself? If so that looks really slick, keep up the good work! ---

God that intake Mani is the sex…although i think you may lean out the first 2 cylinders a bit…but im sure you already are taking that into account. ---

> [@canadianskyline](#): > > God that intake Mani is the sex…although i think you may lean out the first 2 cylinders a bit…but im sure you already are taking that into account. How would the #1 and 2 icylinders get leaned out, the whole thing is going to be at the same pressure and only 2cylinders have their intake valves open at once. 1 and 5, 2 and4, and 3 and 6. I believe that there won’t be any problems. If all the intake valves took air in at the same time I would need to worry about it more. ---

I know that high HP rb26’s and such flow a shit load of air into #6, and it is a real problem. A VG shouldnt be any different, and running 5% extra injector duty cycle while off boost for example is as simple of a fix as you would need, and in my opinion probably a good idea. ---

Yeah I suppose, we will see how it is when it is flow tested. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/z31-450hp-stitch-welded-soon-to-be-masterpiece/138237.md?page=13) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/z31-450hp-stitch-welded-soon-to-be-masterpiece/138237.md?page=15)
