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

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
