My SX

if you ge a custom mani made you wont have to remove the abs ive seen a few top mounts with the abs still in. the guys just bring the turbo forward

Come to think about it, I had my abs in with the topmount I build. Just had to move the abs a inch towards the fender.

I didn't need to move mine at all but it was in the way when you had to remove it.

Hmmm, this is some food for thought...thanks guys.

Right now, I still can't justify the cost of a custom manifold just to say that I've got a top mount manifold. The stock
manifold will work and that's good enough for me, plus the turbo I'm fitting is a little on the big side and I think the
stock manifold will help it spool up a little better...this will be a my daily driver again after all.

My mission now is to get it all in and together while keeping it as neat and organized as possible :200sx_200sx:

keep us updated dude the results will be very intrestion

Looks neat and OEM+

Keep the updates coming

Hey Guys,

Wow...I've been really slack with my updates here, but better late than never, I suppose...

I've got some good news and a little bad news...
The good news is that the bigger turbo is in and running. It looked like this after it was fitted with the spacer and gaskets... If you look closely there's no actuator to operate the wastegate flap. The front housing of my turbo is a 2876r housing so it
doesn't have provisions for a actuator bracket, so I had to make a custom one for the actuator I had (off a T25G i think). Here's
some pics...I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out looking at the pics. I used the bolts that holds the comp housing to the core...

And how the engine bay looks now (had to go back to a cone filter due to space)... So, onto the bad news...it looks like I won't be able to tune my setup properly with the Piggyback Chip, there's just some
issues that I can't get right. I suspect it's cause I've made quite a lot of big changes for the piggyback to get back into line.
So...the answer will be a custom Eprom chip written by RS Enthalpy. It's currently being shipped to me and should be here
shortly. I'll socket my ECU and run the custom Eprom without any changes from the piggyback.

I'll let you guys know how it turns out. Hold thumbs please 😀

Cheers,

Isn't it time for Nistune ? lol

fingers crossed, hope the new eprom will sort out the issues.

Or even better, a LINK G4+ 8)

Or still even better, Nistune. 😉

Hahaha, thanks guys.

Yeah, Nistune or a Link G4 would be epic, but it's out my price range at the moment...plus then I'd still need to tune it.
If the Eprom is correct (RS Enthalpy has a very good rep), then its plug and play...well, after some soldering...

Anyway, the money has already been handed over and the Eprom is on its way...no turning back now :|
