second collector pic.

looks kinda average where u can see the pipes coming in overlap the actual collector pipe. paying that kinda money i'd want it to be 110% perfect

kyles collectors are better than that

You're right, I'm from the states, and Kyles manifolds are about half to one third the price of the Full race manifolds, even though they're only 2 states away from me.

My 6 boost collector looks much better than that, and I dont know why you'd want a stainless manifold anyway, the heat expansion characteristic is definately not ideal for a component like a turbo manifold that sees at much heat as it does. I think the only advantage of stainless is that they're prettier, and maybe lighter? I'm not sure about that though.

Looking at the bottom of the 3rd pic, there is a ledge from what i can see, is that from overlap of the collector to pipe or something?

LOL, u know what, im sure they will do the same shit.... there is variances in both of them...

Actually, the full-race manifold is the heavyweight of the 2. From memory my sr 6Boost was 8kg's and my full-race mani was 10kg. The full-race does have a slightly thicker flange plate tho and provision for two gates. The full-race mani certainly does 'grow' towards my strut tower when hot.

sorry to say but for that bloody price i'd want it to have stainless steel flanges, not f**king mild steal

nice design but still... 6boobs for the win!

hmmmm, 3 times the fun, 6boobs are good :D

That GT4088R vs S374 comparison is beyond suss, I've seen plots of the same car running S366 and GT4088R and the S366 was at best the same as the GT4088R but couldn't make the same power on boost. The Borg Warners are good turbos, but they aren't THAT good.

Cheers Den001, I look forward to hearing how it goes :D

I have looked at heaps of things around the place over time trying to get to the bottom of different setup options but I guess should make a habit of favouriting things so I can look back over it all. Here are a couple I know of, one shows a typical example of someone who sells Borg Warners trying in the face of fact to make out that a 1000hp Borg Warner can spool the same as a ~800hp Garrett when in fact there is a 1000rpm spool difference being called out:

And an S366 vs GT4088R comparison - for some reason this time the images aren't coming up for me, not sure if its because I am at work this time or not but either way you can tell the gist of results from the conversation:

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
