6boost Lowmount. Worth It On Mild Rb20 ?

[thrtytwo]

Upgrading turbo soon. To a hks 2530 or similar. Hoping for around 200rwkw. Nothing crazy. With supporting mods of course. 550cc injectors z32 afm bosch 040 ( the internal one, think it's 040 ). Also thinking about adjustable cam gears. Apperently good for rb20 midrange.

Question is, without a great deal of power is the manifold worth getting. I know it's not needed. But will I see any gains ? If so will it be worth the 1k it's gunma cost. I'm guessing like 5kw and maybe a few hundred rpm earlier boost is all I'd see. But have been reccomended to get one. Not sure why to do. What u Think ?

As far as I know 6-boost doesnt do low mount manifolds for RBs...there isnt enough room to fit them...and been that the stock manifolds are good for ~300rwkw there is no point

+1.

If you really want to spend some money, look at getting your stock manifold extrude-honed.

For a 2530 - nothing. Just bolt up to the stock stuff and off you go.

You've already spent the money correctly by purchasing the best suit turbo to the RB20

200rwkws? no need for manifold, 200rwkws is achievable on the stock injectors as well

I was pushing aroun 190rwkw with stock injectors, stock afm, only fuel, R33 S1 turbo, and usual mods @ 1 bar

^ Depends what you want to do with it. Not everyone wants peak power and laggy cars.

If you want a fast RB20 - 2530 is perfect for street duties. 18-20psi, 220-230rwkw in a light R32, perfect really

yeh, not bothered about huge numbers, more so response and a nice bit of power. Dont like putting my foot down and having to wait, RB20 is depressing off boost haha
