Lol totally baiting lol but just didn't want the usual replies man! Turbo mate!! Oh yeah for sure. I guess my question is has anyone does any flow testing. Aside from the build quality. What about their function. Angle size etc. My xs manifold looks like turd compared to some of the prettier more expensive designs. But I've ported it and it's not falling apart just yet. Curious if anyones ever actually reviewed tube length / size and WG location. Saw a video on RAD industries and they had shorter runners on the last cylinder(s). Considering they get hotter I'd have thought they'd try and keep the exhaust temps lower with a larger tube not smaller.

Has anyone ever seen any flow analysis done on exhaust manifolds. Before posting your favourite part supplier who you get a hard on over when you've hardly bought anything from them, is there any actual data showing a performing manifold out there?

Nice to see fair prices there.

weld it up. do it properly. you're respraying the car. Get rid of that aerial nonsense as well. and third brake light! Don't weld up the door though. Need that working.

I had my IACV removed, as I had a mk3 IACV and it was turd. Now using a DBW throttle body, was advised I didn't need it. Do have issues on start up though, car will just die. Do you think it could be connected?

There's a few versions of the turbo. Which version is it. I think the T51r sound is incredibly desirable. Due to the legend status of the turbo. I'd also think that's contributor to the value. I'm usually a bit of a heckler when it comes to prices, but in this instance I think a fair value is worthy. Of course only ever worth what someone will pay. But definitely should warrant a few grand for these beasts.

Good job on the lights so far

The SSI manifold does look like a nice bit of kit. Looking forward to see how the manifold looks.

I've a twin plate ap clutch. Don't do it. It's naff. Rattles and just generally rough to drive. I'd like to go single plate. Whifbitz does a nice selection. I was going to go single plate with the 700 next jump. Sure I found a few clutches from Paul suitable for close'ish torque values.

Struggling with a GPS module. Any Arduino gurus or hobby people out there at all please? Using the Grove GPS module. Not picking up any satellites. Though finding some with times on with some coded examples.

If its the same side going wrong, you could have a bad earth or a wiring problem. HID are actually illegal anyway for our cars. Because they blind people. You can try and change the ballast, with new bulb and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't, you are likely suffering a wiring issue and should review your wire condition, grounding points and they may not look as `cool` but I'd ditch the HID myself. More hassle than its worth. And, it blinds people.

Aim for 400hp. 500hp risks the transmission as mentioned and can second the fact cams aren't needed for anything under 700hp. Get a 56 or 58mm turbo. You can leave stock compression then (no head gasket needed). Srd sell a low cost standalone. A nice route to take. Whifbitz do a coil conversion and 4 inch intakes. I'd use the search function and then put together a proposed spec of what you think you're missing.

How come no vvti if going for torque

Yours was actually the one I wasn't including lol Sorry. Don't be sad. I couldn't deal with that outcome.

I've got a bad boy Clifford 650. Windows close when I alarm it and even had some other options. Never had any issues. Even has an output wire triggering when the alarm goes off. Always wanted to make a GPRS module with warning alert to sms my phone when it's it's trigger. Probably overkill lol... but I like stuff like that.

Thanks for a sensible answer! Was beginning to think I wouldn't get one.

I've got a battery cut off switch. Only thing that's powered then is the alarm. Could disconnected the fuel pump just a plug under the tank guard in the boot. Be worth getting a more advance alarm. I've got a proximity alarm and a movement alarm on mine. Kicking a wheel sets it off.

What's the switch for next to the gear shifter?

Car's looking great!

Top man thanks! Will lick edges with a bit of oil too to ensure they "slide" into place.

Parts getting rarer that's for sure. Hopefully companies keep making seals. Non service items are definitely drying up.

Ordered some bro. Just to be safe. Problem I had was time. As swapping covers next few days and wanted to attend a local show Sunday. But got a set on over night from Japan.

I meant cam cover seals lol my bad. Obviously removing cover isn't going to disturb the cam seal itself, didn't word that great. Maybe found some local ones, fingers crossed!

Can I re use cam cover seals if I take the covers off? Thinking about a quick paint job for them.
