Honestly mate don't know if the full race is better or not. Would need to do some back to back testing which would be a real pain in the ass as you would need to plumb up 2 different sets of gates.

If I had my time again I would probably just bought a 6 boost one for reasons such as

1. Cheaper

2. Quicker to obtain (each fullrace manifold is made On order)

3. If it cracked or failed in anyway would be easier for warranty

4. The full race is a bit of a nightmare plumbing wise.

Though I do like how the manifold looks and how it makes the turbo sit towards the front of the car.

I also had to cut a bit of the re enforcement out of my bonnet to fit the Massive frame of the BW

yeah there'd want to be some noticeable up side to warrant the above trade-offs..

How long did it take from payment till it turned up on your doorstep Joey?

It was a while ago but from what I can recall it was ages.. Like as in months.

It didn't bother me at the time as the car wasn't ready anyway.

Also if you order from the US you will pay tax.. Not like the dodgy japs who put Down 700 bucks for a nismo pump, injectors and a twin plate copper mix :D

I do admitt the manifold is a work of art though and I don't regret buying it

I would not regret buying it either, it is a very well designed manifold, better design than the 6boost.

Any email back? The one on the 34 did look a little bigger but by how much I couldn't say. I'd love to know!

What do you think you will order for your car John? 6466?

Email - yes, Answer - no. But will let you know as soon as I do.

I did however email a mob over in the US and they put the 6466 in the middle of the EFR 8374 and 9180 in terms of response and power. This makes it a good choice I'd rekon.

I'm still committed to more time with my twin EFR's, however they're only 1 failure away from being replaced for good.

Interesting.

Wasn't the berry 34 running an EFR last year? If so, I wonder what the reason for the swap was.

Whilst it's not my place to answer on Mark's behalf, I can tell you from experience that anyone dealing with BW in the early "EFR Launch" days didn't really get looked after that well by them. this experience makes the decision to change fairly easy, dollar permitted ofcourse!

Can you elaborate how they are better in design?.. I haven't really checked out the 6 boost yet

The runner lengths are designed correctly (pulse tuned), 6boost is not. I believe it to be important in turbo manifold design.

suffered undisclosed secret issues that could neither be confirmed nor denied while discussions with BW was ongoing? :ninja:

lol yeah at the time... Plenty knew what had happened, yet the marketing machine was trying to avoid admitting it.

what have you done Jase?

lol

lol its not definite yet, but I have the invoice for a 5558 .64

was going to pay it this week but funding fell short :( will need to wait a few more weeks maybe

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
