Cheers, Kev. Got some new graphs below

When Christian was mapping it made 375 at the wheels consistently

Should be getting my arse in gear and making a new manifold soon. Pretty sure the crappy Greddy manifold has cracked again :roll: Got the jig ready, just need to get the bends and flanges cut. Swinging towards mild steel as well, bit thicker material

thats great figures mate you must be well happy, yes i suppose the manifold will make a difference, hows the z32 gearbox conversion holding up?

It's fine, I've got a shorter ratio diff to go on to make it a bit more drivable. I don't really need a 187mph top speed

Bet that puts a smile on your face.

What is it with 200 manifolds? They all seem to go sooner or later no matter the make.

Nice figures.

Yep, none seem to last very long. I am tempeted to make a bracket to hang the turbo off to lessen the load a bit. TBH I'm kicking myself a bit because I could have re done the welds and added bracing before I put it on. Although it looks lovely, the welds are not that great and the pipe is proper shite :roll:

Okay, little update again. New diff is on with a shorter ratio which is miles better. Ended up buying a Hellical pumpkin as well so its all good now

Got manifold nearly finished, just needs the head flange fully welding and then off on Thursday to get the flanges skimmed flat.

Also decided to silence the screamer pipe, had enough of that after about 2 years. Not planning to plumb it back in so I've copied Christian from APT and bought a small Jetex silencer and flexi section. Got some bends from work for the rest so it should be all good

but its not shiny! Good job though mate, looks the business.

Hahaha balls to shiny

Although you can see where it is a bit shiny near the tubby flange, it will all be like that once we leave it over night in the pickling stuff
