I'm looking for a twin scroll exhaust manifold for a borg warner s300sx 83-75 and I came across extreme turbo manifolds. Has anybody used them? I want to keep my A/C and the only other company I am interested in is that can do this is 6boost.

Any thoughts, suggestions or pictures? This is the manifold I'm interested in

The manifolds are similar however Kyle was the first to come up with the collector design.

The customer service was the decider for me.

Really?

Based purely on customer service I wouldnt consider using 6boost again. Shame really as the manifold is great.

I later recommended etm as an alternative to a friend who was stoked with both the service and product.

Does anybody have any ETM or 6boost pics with manifolds mounted? I have seen a couple from searching but I would like to see some more. Does the 6boost twin gate manifold still keep the A/C? I don't want to lose my A/C but if I have to use a single wastegate to keep it, that's fine.

they are the 2 leading turbo manifold makers in aus. I would say you will get a great result with either one. I would call or email them both with your requirements and ask for a price and turnaround time, see what they say, and make your decision from there. again, they both make great products. it's personal preference really that separates the two.

Thanks for the responses, I have had both companies email me with good info. ETM said he would use a GT42 for a jig he doesn't have a BW s300sx 83-75 so he couldn't guarantee fit up, which I do understand.

Here are some pics of the BW and others

turbos from L to R -- TSGT40R, GT37R, BW S300SX 83-75, TS35R, BW S200SX 75-70, TS3076R

What are some thoughts about the turbo size and using a GT42 as a jug? I don't want to buy a manifold and have it hit the strut tower so I'm trying to get as many opions as possible.

Well I am a good friend of Leigh's (ETM) and can vouch for his work, his workmanship and service that he provides is outstanding to say the least!..and im not just saying that cause he is a mate. The only downside if there is one I guess is that he is very busy!..but then who isn't when you are selling a good product!

6boost any day of the week

not sure if it was a 1 off, but the last ETM manifold i saw had a pretty rough finish on the ports. kyles all come perfectly ported and ultra smooth

I don't understand what you mean by rough finish on the ports? The manifolds are made from steam pipe and you have the choice of that or have it ceramic coated..

well it's been a while since I looked closely at an ETM but the ones I have seen were ok port finish wise. matty he's not talking about cosmetics. he's talking flow wise.

I do agree though the recent 6boost mani's i've looked at have very nicely finished ports and collector. and they always do.

agreed. both are great manifolds but kyle seems to take that extra detail with finishing the ports off.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
