>Unlike the GT-R's exhaust-manifold-integrated turbos, the new VR's turbos bolt directly to the cylinder heads.
what does this mean? does it mean the exhaust mainfold is integrated to the head?

>does it mean the exhaust mainfold is integrated to the head?
Yes, and the turbocharger bolts to that. Or R&T is just making shit up.
>>14077803
so if I wanted a bigger trbo and bigger exhaust mainfold, I would need a new head?
>>14077846
Or have the stock manifold ground off
>>14077778
Yes.
>VR's turbos bolt directly to the cylinder heads
AND the turbos
It's just one big manifold monster.
are you sure it's not just like the new gti's turbos with an inseperable turbo/manifold combo?
if so then you just replace manifold with turbo.
>>14079051
but I assume there is a limit right?
>>14079069
Ha, have a nice time fixing one of those things.
>>14079071
No, it's a integrated manifold system like the new civic or the V6 camaro.
>>14079203
>like the new civic
wat
are you telling the new type R and 1.5 liter turbo engines are the same
it means several thousand dollar repairs
>>14079215
No idea about the R, but the SI has a tiny little integrated exhaust manifold that probably flows exactly the minimum required for stock.
It's all about getting the cat up to temp fast for good emissions test performance.
>>14079235
it also means more heat which is a major contributor to turbo failure and shaft play.
I wish they would work out a system that cools the exhaust gases so they could be comparable to say a diesel. Would certainly help with longevity.
>>14079284
Diesel exhaust gases are typically hotter. Diesel turbo components are longer lived because they are heavier and normally don't spin up as high.
Hyundai and nissan using twin turbo v6's what a world we live in.
>>14079247
Fucking emissions.
Such bullshit.
I hate where automotive design and cars in general are going.
So glad I drive 80's and 90's shitboxes.
>>14079334
So is Ford and GM.
>>14077778
what am i looking at here?
