i wouldn't be rushing out to buy one.... nearly twice the price of 6Boost and not tuned length (from what i can see)...

doesn't look as nice either.... the only thing better is the twin wastegates (if you wanted this option)

but if you asked Kyle to do it he would...

Just my 2 cents...

Not really sure what you mean by "tuned length" . Geoff works off pressure drop through each runner not length which is the proper way to go about it . Neither the engine or the turbo care about equal length but with manifold pressure its a different story .

Your call , search around the web about FullRaces exhaust manifolds . The usual dilemma is can you afford them or not , not do they work or not .

If it were me and the cost wasn't an issue I know what I'd do .

great design runners and collect

full race make realli good manifolds but i dont like the idea of using stainless for manifolds

stainless just doesnt compare to mild steel steam pipe imo

even the highest grade stainless will have a higher chance of cracking where as mild steel steam pipe is so strong that they can be sold with life time warranty

spend some time going threw this thread

pages 3 and on wards have alot of good info u should read up on

As above. I also have a stainless nismo gtstr manifold factory fitted up to the car in 1987. Came off for hpc coating year or two ago and no signs of any fatigue let alone cracking anywhere.

Whatever stainless they used it sure as hell is thick as the manifold weighs a tonne.

my stainless has developed some cracks.. have welded them back together but thats a short term fix..

theres a reason kyle offers lifetime warranty on his steam pipe manifolds... will be upgrading to 6boost once the manifold starts to leak again.

yeah reliability isnt a problem with good stainless mani's, although i would like to see what heat retention is like between mild and some thick, high grade stainless

thermal conductivity for stainless is much lower than your typical mild steel

I would spend the extra and go full race in a heartbeat, currently have 6boost and looking to make the change if that gives you any idea.

Full-Race also offers life time warranty to original purchaser.

    • Im loving this thread. I have a g35/900 t4 split 1.00 ar going on my rb30/25 with 9:1 and 264 cams. its drive by wire and with vct i think it should spool nicely. I have the 8speed gearbox on the floor ready to go on so full boost changes will be a thing if the tyres can deal with it. it should always be on boost
    • The trouble for me is the automatic takes away so much from it. And the E92 has hydraulic power steering. Even after putting in an LSD you're looking at re-mapping the xDrive to be more like a Skyline which is just a lot of effort for something that is supposed to be easier and cheaper. I consider the E92 335i 6MT to basically be the obviously superior car to something like an R34 GTT. Half the price out here, the N54 makes so much more power so easily, is a far more refined car, etc. You do have to deal with the nightmare of the N54's foibles vs the B58 which is comparatively miles better and if a turbo does fail it's only one of them vs two and a lot less pipe spaghetti.  996 or 997 Turbo has the AWD system mapped like a Skyline. Basically always RWD unless engaging the front axle makes sense. A coworker let me drive his 997.2 Turbo 6MT and it's absolutely tremendous. I don't think I'd want more power in a street car.
    • I'm purely suggesting, what every multinational business out there presently does! And the world governments all day it's legal.
    • That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.
    • Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.
