My poo poo manifold... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

veilsideS14 · 03-26-2003, 03:38 PM

Here's the crazy manifold I finished tacking together that's going to power my car to victory! One of these days it'll finally be done

Dousan_PG · 03-26-2003, 03:40 PM

you're nuts

cant wait to see it completed!

any new pics of the car?

veilsideS14 · 03-26-2003, 03:45 PM

Not really any new pictures of the car per se but I did get this hood recently. You can really appreciate how light one of these suckers are after hoisting the stock hood around a bit.

uiuc240 · 03-26-2003, 04:06 PM

nice. but some of those angles seem a bit sharp...is that not a problem? i don't really know what i'm talking about anyway.... so....

Can I have it?!

I have been looking for a C/F Hood myself... ah which one should i get?

Drifted off road · 03-26-2003, 06:50 PM

is this going on a 240? if so what motor do u have in there?

Dousan_PG · 03-26-2003, 06:52 PM

RB26DETT

240Stilo · 03-26-2003, 07:37 PM

RB26DETT?....are you sure you don't have one "T" too many? Looks like a RB26DET.

veilsideS14 · 03-26-2003, 08:36 PM

Nope. I got one of those electric turbo thingies to make up for the other mechanical one

*sykikchimp* · 03-27-2003, 08:24 AM

LOL.. lookin like a pretty sweet manifold.. I assume you have some way to polish all those hard angular edges that will be in the exhaust flow?

Foxcolt · 03-27-2003, 09:02 AM

Dammit I want 6 cylinders!!

What turbo do you plan on puttin on? HKS 3037? GT3040?

iirc, T66

veilsideS14 · 03-27-2003, 10:26 AM

Good memory Dousan. T66 is correct.

d240t2 · 03-27-2003, 10:35 AM

If you make a turbo exhaust manifold out of that thin header tubing...it is not going to last at all. You need something with thicker walls than that for a turbo manifold.

veilsideS14 · 03-27-2003, 10:39 AM

Thanks for the concern Dennis but your statement is false.

Can you elaborate?

What type of steel are you using for that header?

king_johnthegreat · 03-27-2003, 10:53 AM

Just out of curiosity, but how is it an electric "turbo" gets its own "T"? I just figured that since it was electric instead of exhaust driven, it would be more akin to a supercharger. That would make the engine an RB26DETV, wouldn't it? If you do away with the factory twin exhaust turbos for one single turbo, it would make more sense that way. Just my 2 cents...
John

Dousan_PG · 03-27-2003, 10:56 AM

i think he's joking

he's going single turbo rather then twin turbos

nothing uncommon.

DarkRaptor42 · 03-27-2003, 11:33 AM

RBs are sweet. Just out of curiosity since Ive never seen it posted what does a 240 run with an RB in it? Gotta be insane.

AKADriver · 03-27-2003, 12:40 PM

Impossible to say.

Once you step into the realm of engine swaps.. everyone's setup is different. Especially something complicated like the RB26DETT.

DarkRaptor42 · 03-27-2003, 06:30 PM

figured thats the way it was. Anyone ever post any stats on one though???

Tuck&Poke · 03-27-2003, 07:34 PM

IIRC the reason there really is no time for an rb26 s14 is cause an rb requires modification to fit in therrre, steering shaft is in the way of the two turbos, so you gotta go single, and god knows what else... im not too familiar w/ the whole ordeal. im going on what ive heard before. plus...if you got the money for an rb26 powerd s14 do you really think that motor is gonna be stock?
i gots a question vielsides14, can you have a twin turbo rb26 in a rhd s14 since the steering shaft is on the other side?

Dousan_PG · 03-27-2003, 07:41 PM

hhaa

veilside, i think you need to post pics of your car

people, he's already RHD, the engine is in alreayd and he's SEROIUS not a dreamer, he's living the dream

its crazy how much he's done already!

veilsideS14 · 03-27-2003, 09:17 PM

Well, it's correct that you can't run the stock turbos in the stock form. The downpipes of the rear turbo will hit the steering shaft. You might be able to reconfigure the manifolds to get more room for the rear turbo if you wanted to. C-West was able to run an RB26 with stock twins in their S14 because it was RHD. But, stock anything sucks

My car isn't RHD though. We converted my buddy's car (RHDS14) and that's what Dousan is talking about. His car is dope as hell. I opted to stick LHD for now but seeing how beautifully his conversion turned out, I may change my mind

Dousan_PG · 03-28-2003, 01:36 AM

damn. you guys do awesome work!

cant wait. how long has these projects been going on for?

boro240 · 03-28-2003, 02:43 AM

awesome projects. is there any way to switch the ebrake over? cause all RHD conversion ive seen still have it on the wrong side.

veilsideS14 · 03-28-2003, 07:07 AM

Thanks for the props Dousan. The project have been going on since October. We spend some time here and there on the weekends working at our leisure.

The only way to convert the e-brake over to the other side is to get the console piece and the e-brake bracket and stuff off the JDM clip. Most clips are unfortunately cut before the e-brake and don't include these console pieces either.

But the one positive thing about it being still on the left side is that although it's harder to reach, it isn't so close to your legs either.

Ok. If that is thin header tubing like it looks, don't say nobody warned you.

Dennis

misnomer · 03-28-2003, 09:59 AM

wow, and here I was impressed by the home rb20 swap being done on the forums (Well, I'm still impressed by it :P).

Frikkin' awesome man. I'm not a big fan of RHD swapping, but hey, what's my opinion worth?

Oh well, I'mma kick back and wait for somebody to ask "Wait, won't that manifold leak?"
