Hey just put a new 6 boost manifold on my rb20 an did have a cheap chinesse manifold on it an the car sounded deep an tuff as but now with the new manifold it sounds a bit like a hyundai note which is pissing me off.Only other thing ive done is mount the wastegate down near the bell housing.Im goin to hav to put another muffler on it to take out the ricey sound,anyone had similar issues? thanks running a gt35r an 45mm progate if that helps..

Never mind the sound, what's the difference like on the road?

As for the sound you dont want to sound ricey, just took car for a spin then boost doesnt seem to come on earlier but it does a little more voilently,pulls real strong.It has made 402rwhp so ill put it bak on the dyno an see if there is any difference with the 6 boost.

Have you spoken to Kyle about it?

Maybe you had an exhaust leak before so it sounded 'tough as' but now it's actually working properly it sounds 'normal'??

exactly what i was thinking

soon as i saw "chinese" manifold and a "deep note" i thought - crack/leak somewhere

Im goin to hav to put another muffler on it to take out the ricey sound,anyone had similar issues?

Sorry dude but I just have to point out the irony here...Isn't making a modification just to acheive a cosmetic outcome, 'rice' in itself...

Hahahah

True, though i dont think thats entirely what hes doin.

I think what hes saying is that hes pissed that a expensive manifold sounds worse than the original cheaper one.

6boost manifolds that I have heard result in a more tuned pitchy note, sounds awesome. If you don't like it - give it to me :P

Mine certainly did, went from an Internally gated GT3540 on standard manifold to 50mm externally gated 6boost setup and the sound difference is amazing.

Screams rather like some of the old group A cars do.

Funny i had the same thing happen to me.

Cheap china manifold= tough RB sound.

Then put on a 6BOOST item and things quiet down a bit, i put this to the smoother runners and design of the 6BOOST manifold.

Then i put on a HKS 3.75inch exhaust, now it sounds tough again :P

Definately not knocking Kyles manifold mate i tell ya well you guys no this is a work off art.I havnt had a chance to really go over the exhaust an check for any leaks but this can only be the cause,its hard to notice it at idle its only when at cruise under exceleration which leads to an exhaust leak somewhere.ill suss this out first thing in the morning.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
