Rb25t High Mount Manifold Troubles

[bernardshorty]

hey guys i am putting a high mount gt35r turbo on my stagea and am having troubles with manifolds not fitting . i now have a 6boost manifold and it fits the engine but the turbo hits on the rocker cover badly . also there is no room for a dump pipe to fit between the manifold and fire wall.

i am running out of ideas this is the second manifold i have bought as the first was my own fault and bought off e bay . has any one else come accross this problem before .please help . manny thanks in advance bernard .

where would i find pics of quite a few other turbo manifold placings as im getting a custom one done for my car and want to get an idea of where the bigger turbo guys place their turbos (removing power steer or not)

I have a 6boost RB25 mani and ive dummied it up with a GT35 and everything sat very nicely.

Im not aware of any differences between the stagea 25 and the R33 one so il be interested to see this

Post up some pics.

hey guys here are some pics of my first manifold which was the worst one will have to take some of the 6 boost one .

[rinmak]

Dude that first one is just a joke

Hope you got your money back for that shit

[DoughBoy]

Have never had a problem with Jap manifolds, but then again you would expect that with the price.

thats funny it looks dodgy as...cough ebay?... gotta ask what size rear housing have you got on the turbo? Im sure with the "genuine" 6boost one, kyle should be able to help you out atleast... if you talk to him and explain whats happening

[bernardshorty]

i have noy got pics of the 6boost one yet as my camera been playing up i bought the 6boost one second hand it has no markings on it but the guy has told me that is what it was .i was in desperate need so i bought it . where could i get a new 6boost one from.

[shanef]

well im going to take a punt here and say u could get a new one from kyle form 6boost 0410730598

[r33_racer]

yeh...check my sig thingy.

[dangerous_daveo]

Why not look at going custom? At least you know it will fit comfy and work then... Assuming nothing else fits. But if you keep buying and selling manifolds that dont fit, your going to do your dough.

[silman]

Does the turbo fit if you fit it to the manifold first, then bolt the manifold on? That looks horribly close though....

I've got a genuine Apexi Top mount cast manifold on ebay at the moment ending this Saturday that may well be of interest to you!

[bernardshorty]

how much for your apexi one bud cheers bernard .

We have had this problem, we removed the rocker cover then fitted the turbo (T04e) ended up with 2mm clearance from the rocker cover.

cheers

:-D

just do the dodgey, take it down to an exhaust shop and get them to refit the flange on the manifold so the turbo can fit on. probly the cheap and easy way out i think

Kyle spends a lot of time on the collector, filing, smoothing etc, it might be tricky getting a XYZ exhaust shop to modify it. I would 100% call Kyle and talk about your options.

[tridentt150v]

If it is a genuine 6boost, I'd call Kyle and send it back to be checked and modded by him if it isn't right [but it should be OK if its genuine].

hey guys i scrappedthat manifold and bought a xforce one every thing bolts up fine now wish i could find the guy that sold me that so called second hand 6boost one on boost cruisin and i would shove it up his arse. as every one on here says 6boost are neat this one is not that neat so i am thinking i got had . and he sold me some cheap shit one does the 6boost one have any markings on it to identify it . well if any one needs scrap stainless now i your man ha ha i have 3 good rb25 flanges now as i am going to scrap the rest of the manifold s or if any one wants one to modify will gladly send at your cost. cheers thanks for your help guys and girlys.

[SirRacer]

its a real shame you tried to sell the manifold to people (like your pm to me) knowing that is was f**ked
