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...

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
