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.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
