these thought all started by a forum member that had me thinking for a while and i need answers now (bastard)

the first pic is your seen this 1000 times manifold sold in performance shops and ebay.from $200-$800 so far people say there shit.

the second i have not seen many times and am wondering if they would be any good or if any one has one,they look ok to me but maybe to a high quality forum specialist might be able to advise me.

also these 6boost manifold dose any one have proof that they work,i know people say they don't crack but is there proof of gains.ive read posts in the past but after a while still no real answer!!

Quick list of mods,greedy intake manifold,hks gtrs,hks cams,forged pistons&rods,power fc,nismo injectors +++++++ all mods

if anyone can help that would be nice.

first pic ebay copy

second hpi manifold,copy or not i dont know.

i Bought the first manifold off ebay and it didnt even fit.

Had to drill the holes out bigger for it to fit onto the studs then i finally got it on it would hit the mount tat supports the intake pipe just before the butterfly.

my mate has a vl turbo with the 6boost manifold with a stock internal engine and a t66 turbo. The spool time is almost instant. Its farkin insane

i have met kyle and he has showed me his manifolds and the merge collector on them is awesome. A+ quality and a top dude.

Also Mark from godzilla motorsports that has a r32 gtr, that now i believe runs 8.34 has a 6boost manifold on his car.

If ya looking at a manifold go check out 6boost first.

thanks for the info does your mate have a before and after ,power wise

the second one is just another version of cheap shit which looks attractive to the untrained eye.

dont be a stingy ass and go out and get yourself a 6-boost or hks gt- cast manifold to complement the reast of

your mods

very good .......sharp eye :down: now where can i find a hks manifold ive looked for a while,and as for a 6boost manifold it would be nice to see how many people really got a good result,and how many of these are being used by sau members .

ok the first one is utter shit and gives zero incerease anywhere, the second ones design is killer and is based one the HPI one.... i know i helped to develop them.

the HPI and similar manifolds were originally developed by myself, EVAN and finally built by GIZZMO NZ the prototypes were then sent off to ********* factory to be manufactured..... a month later it was available ex HPI who just happens to use the same supplier.... it has now been copied by at least 4 other factories in taiwan and china.

as for performance there was no drawbacks and a clear increase accross the board (all original testing done with std turbo).... it took four prototypes to get right and many months of work on a dynapack to compare designs.

NO other local manufactured manifold can compete with that (HPI) design for response or power and factory turbo placement so all your normal dumps and front fit without modification..

intrested to know how much do you/they sell them for?

a few years back i was reading HPI magazine, they had a article on S/S manifolds and cast iron manifolds.....

does it really make a diffrents? besides how much heat one manifold can take? and weight? :)

in really depends on the application, i prefer on GTR's to leave the factory manifolds and heat shields in place but in sr20 for example anything over 230ish i will turf the manifold in favour of a few proven designs (not the cheap genric crap), up until the rb25 manifold was available i would never consider changing the factory item, even on small high mounts i would make up an adapter to lift turbo and run a gate pipe down for the waste gate as the factory manifold flowed OK'ish and combined with a good heatshield provided good results at a very low cost.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
