I might turbo the Z at some point, hoping this option works for people...

Eto Kurto!!

Just trying to help :tiphat:

Car sounds awesome!

Thanks Nix,

I love it, very deep down low and winds out nicely, not to loud at idle just a deep rumble. Cant wait to hear what it sounds like under a WOT shift.

Sent a PM a while back. Lost a lot of my mail. Is that jig ready for the stock type exhausts?

Never got a PM regarding that...but yes, the stock exhaust hook-up is now available.

Resent. When will you start your line with those?

That is a simple change, and it is available now. The entire kit stays the same, including the first down pipe that attaches to the turbine housing, as well as the recirc pipse. Insted of the Y-section that comes with/for the F.I exhaust you get a sinle 3" pipe.

on the flutter sound, or compressor surge.. whatever u wanna call it, people can only theorize that this is bad... however, u will NEVER find a case of a turbo failing because of it. slowing down the turbo doesn't hurt anything any more than coming out of boost does...

if someone can find a case of that causing turbo failure, i will eat my own hand

Through my research after this was pointed out it seems that a bit of flutter is ok. Its when you get to much of a delay in the valve opening do you really start to stress the turbo. Its the fact that the boost is very low when the flutter occurs, under high boost I think you would have some issues.

This is very true, and only happens during light decelerations. If you were to go WOT and shift you would not have this at all. Light decel will cause the flutter because you are not going to deep vacuum and the BOV does not open up right away. I have driven a few TT Z's as well, and can duplicate the sound in the audio clip heard here.

Correct as well. In order to have the BOV open fully the spring has to be overcome. If the spring is rated to at -18hg, and you shift at -10hg, there will be some flutter, naturally since the BOV did not open right fully.

Sasha still waiting on full price with FI 3" exhaust please. And the price for the 3" outlet alone.

Sorry, I never got a PM regarding this (at least one that I cand find). I am assuming you asked somewhere in this thread, and I missed/forgot about it.

Will get back to you on the dual 3" and I assume a 3" cutout?

1..2...3..ya, that's 6 of them:

It has been a long couple of days. About 20 hours in to these 6 manifolds, and they are about 1/2 way done. Now I need to setup the back purging station (oxygen inside the pipes displaced by argon for a clean weld on the inside) and then go to town. Each manifold will take about 1.5h to weld. Once that is done they go back in the jig, and the last couple of pieces get welded, so the header flanges can be attached. After that, the waste gate tubes and O2 sensor bungs. I plan on doing one per day next week. There is 24 welds per manifold, plus 2 O2 sensor bungs...so it's a bit of work still left to do.

In the mean time, tomorrow will be spend working on the recirc tubes, and hopefully I have time to weld up a down pipe or two. See how things go I guess.


Also, still have one kit without a name on it.
