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.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
