No. And I'd be more concerned about the amount of time and money you will have to invest in the next 2 years continuously repairing it when it cracks.

Exactly!!!! I told the seller the exact same thing that it would not work and I heard about manifolds like this cracking all the time. He assured me it wasn't so and that this would work on a split one.

I the last month, we have replaced 3 such manifolds due to massive overboosting issues. I would get a refund and invest in a well made manifold to suit your application. You will also need a decent sized wastegate, something like a turbosmart 50mm. Spend a little bit more money once and you will reap the benefits in reliability, response and also power.

Yeah of course it will work. But it's not going to utilise the split pulse to it's full advantage

I know it will work, but I mean as efficiently as a split.

No I didn't buy one I was just looking into it and didn't agree with somethings he was trying to tell me, so I came here for more opinions and direction.

Thanks man this forum is the best.

this and all the stupid high mount SR20 ones.... all junk.

I think you'll find there will be a mismatch....split pulse turbo housings have a different footprint to an open housings (split pulse are wider to account for the divider). Therefore, there will be a mismatch when you bolt on a split pulse turbo to a single scroll manifold flange. Have a look at the back of a Garrett catalogue for the measurements and you will see what I mean.

this manifold lasted 3 1/4 mile runs running 10.1 @ 135mph, then I replaced it with another one, detuned for street went to calder park, done 4 runs on 24psi and it cracked again. spent $1350 for a custom split pulse 6boost manifold and never looked back. I lost over 1k fixing and upgrading this stainless steel pos. stay away if you want big power

For those manifolds you need to:

1x slot 2x bolt wholes in the center so they can fit your engine head.

2x Machine the manifold faces flate or they will keep on blowing your gasket

3x Re-enforced the welds at the collector.

It will workd fine after all that. Unless you can do all that your self, or it Cost more then the actual manifold.

You can spec the manifold in T3 split or T4 split. I would use a 1.06 T4 split housing on an RB25. Althought the housings from ATP aren't the greatest castings - so will probably need a little tidy up if you can be bothered. Someone on this forum used a T3 .78 split on an RB26 (can't remember name) with a GT35 and got close to 400rwkw.

they dont have a different footprint, ive got a t4 flanged non split pulse manifold with a split pulse t04z and they line up perfectly the actual size of the flange is the same

Are you using it like this?

A single entry manifold mated to a twin scroll turbo is bound to cause some serious restrictions.

just finished fitting myne and it was the hardest job i've ever done, the physical size of the housing makes doing up housing bolts and oil/water feeds near impossible, ended up having to leave one of the compressor housing bolts out because even when fully tightened it fouled on the turbine housing flange in the position i need it. the design leaves a little to be desired but it should work alright, will see how it goes shortly.

T3 split & T3 open have a different footprint.

Hey there just want a definitive answers from people who have tried and what there suggestion is and why.

I have re posted to ask a quick question, I already have a 35r and was wondering to get 350-380rwkw what would you guys go with t3 or t4 split pulse and what back housing .82 or 1.06? Right now I am on full boost by 4200-4500 which is laggy to me, use to running with a stock turbo, and would like for it to either remain there or make boost sooner. Just do not want it to be laggier.

So what combo would you guys suggest?

What housing and power do you currently have??

I haven't seen the combo on an RB25 myself but from what I have seen on other cars I'd go with a 1.06a/r T4 Twin scroll housing... I am guessing you have a .82a/r hot side from that spool level, so maybe shift that to around 3800-4200rpm range for a twin scroll setup with generally more torque as it builds boost and more midrange at full boost. Just a semi-educated guess...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
