Not interested in changing the turbo atm, just looking to make what i have work.

I was hoping for over 300 but if its not going to get there then im thinking i may as well go back to standard.

log style manifolds are crud

try and find a hks cast low mount manifold. They look stock enough

But then all the intake and dump needs to be made again as it dosnt put the turbo in the factory location.

But lets just get back to the requirements at hand for a second…

1. Tight budget – so clearly no $1400 manifold manifold, custom piping, new dump etc

2. As factory as possible appearance

3. No more than 300rwkw

As to wether it’s the best performing setup, giving the best performance etc etc - really is not the question or issue here at all.

So who cares of its “crud”. It’s been proven to work & the stock manifold fits those requirements perfectly.

Lithium is making 300rwkw on a stock manifold with a 3076 .82 internally gated on a 200,000km motor.

Seems to work for him, and drives as smoothly as my 77,000km motor.

He had one of those exact manifolds on his for a while. I think he got it for quite cheap so tried it. Made the car sound pretty awesome, but blew the welds at the flange after a while so went back to the stock.

I think it had something to do with this:

lol

How much of a difference was there, both on paper and seat of the pants?

Seat of the pants, basically none - which actually surprised me. The most power I have made on paper was with the stock cast manifold I put back on after the stainless one failed. It SOUNDED like something more serious with the stainless manifold though, which gave an unjustified sensation of speed.

Lol all this talk about 3071/76/35r....

he wants a high flow or a 2530?

Stock manifold is fine...+ heat shields + factory EVERYTHING = you get to smile when you get asked to pop your bonnet..

ummmmmmm 2530??? where did you get that from, i have a 3540!

It pays to read the whole thread, the first post was 5 years ago, i chose to bring it up again as it has relevant information and was interested to see if there has been any definitive answers gained in the 5 yrs since this was posted, its also relevant in that its the exact same manifolds being talked about today as it was 5 yrs ago when the thread was posted!

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
