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..

The 6262 sillyness is never ending... New cams just got the most power and torque it's ever made

Dale is 100% correct its a well proven fact that smaller cams in RB's aid in response. Even going from a stock cam to a type b pon cam will cost you response. Been many track guys that have thrown the

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.

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
