Why does everyone want gay stainless steel manifolds that crack etc heat fatigue, 6 boost manifolds and ones made from steel are 10 times better in theyr can b heated and cooled alot more times without damage plus they have been found to retain more heat and decrese spool up times of liek 2-5% percent from memory because they retain more heat the exhaust gas flow is quicker theirfore making the turbo spool faster, the only downside in weight thats all but if ur actually going to drive ur car ie do afew km's in it wouldnt u want something that is going to last....

Thanks Rory

note a link for some 6 boost manifolds:

i want a 6boost one but there is a bloody 4-6 week wait on them. i need my car back now as its my daily driver and its in peices as my stocker is cracked...

i have been told that the stocker will only crack due to running to lean....??? any comments?

I have recently had my 6boost (SR20) ex manifold and stock SR20 inlet manifold honed by Andrew Sanders (along with my turbo compressor cover). I don't have the before/after flow results on me but will post up later for anyone interested in this process.

OK for what its worth 6Boost ex manifold and standard blacktop inlet manifold (SR20) before and after extrude honing at 28 inches. Please note that my mandate to Andrew Sanders re exhaust manifold was not to equalise flow as I didn't want to increase the volume too much in runners 2 & 3 and loose any response. And my mandate re the inlet manifold was to equalise flow - which is nearly perfect. Just an example of the benefits of extrude honing.

6 Boost Exhaust Manifold

Before.............After

1 250............260

2 220............245

3 222............247

4 252............262

Standard SR 20 Blacktop Inlet Manifold

Before.............After

1 254............300

2 257............306

3 270............306

4 254............300

For comparison sake I pasted this RB exhaust manifold flow data previously posted in this thread but Im not sure at what pressure the flow tests were done?

Some flow rates for you guy's from extrusion flow honing standard manifold ,hks cast iron manifold and hks cast iron flow honed

standard manifold .........hks cast ...............hks cast flow honed

1 159.7.........................170.7............................194.8

2 162.4.........................166.6............................203.4

3 160.7.........................178.7............................198.7

4 150.1.........................183.6............................200.3

5 149.9.........................182.2............................207.8

6 173.3.........................184.7............................202.8

^^^^^ agreed but IMO the 6Boost manifolds has one of the best collectors in the business. Mercury Motorsport made 562 rwhp from their stock stroke sr20 with a 6 boost mani and GT35 turbo. This car also ran 10 sec quarters with manual box.

My manifold is also unique in that it has been custom made to suit one of the new round collector v-band Tial cast stainless housings for my HKS GTRS turbo.

Suggest you get in touch with Leigh from Extreme Turbo Manifolds if you need something sooner. The link is in my sig.

Found this link on power porting process of before and after hp figures done on a test mule RB30 engine when Specialised Power Porting was in its infancy.

a bit of a update on a old topic but...... i just spoke to Abrasive Flow Engineering who does or did work for uas on hone and extrude and his exact words are for a rb25det manifold.

"""don't wast your time and money they don't flow as good as a hks manifold ""

and

"""for $900 to extrude and hone i would go and get some thing better"""

f#%$ me.this is from the guy who does them while some companies are begin for work due the the $$$$ crises this guy has shocked the sh#@ out of me so ..........after reading this post and many like it over the years and looking at the figures people have posted on flow have we all been grossly mislead by people in the industry have figures been made up for the trusting customer.

what is one to thing !!!!!!!

if anyone does reply do it here.: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ex...47#entry4450747

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
