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.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
