sorry what i mean is it should make more power with your manifold on my car.and that if someone is making just under 350kw with a stock one then your manifold should be able to make more. in theory

will i get a better price if i mention jim lol

No better price I don't think.hah.

I getcha. Yes I can definatelt make much more.power with this manifold.

You guys will wanna be careful hanging ext gates on manifolds that have had material taken out.

1. The manifold is now weaker

2. You are adding more weight

The chances it'll crack are now even higher, in standard form they rarely crack but people have certainly taken out too much meat in the past and then had them fail. Making all the stuffing around worthless.

Just something to think about, don't get too crazy with taking material out everywhere you can.

$800 is quite expensive when you can get a proper after market one for $400 more :/

That's why you take it to a pro. Dont want some tard making your manifold into tissue paper.And air temps through manifold are now cooler And has less resistance travelling through. Despite loosing material I would say its prob a little safer, If not the same as stock. As long as too much material isn't taken out.

Regarding external gate that I think is a fair call. Hanging weight off a thinner material may not be a great idea.

Only internally gated bottom mount manifolds I found were 1800. So this was the cheaper option for me. Pretty happy all round!

ported stock manifold $800... 6boost $1200.. i know which one i would go.

If top mount or externally gated. Yep. Anyone got cfm 6boob. Cos my gains are pretty good. Nearly 30rwkw. 100nm torque. Forget the name. How's it flow?

I'm certain there has been at the least one user who did get it professionally done, and it cracked after a little while (not immediate).

Hard to know with every single manifold how much to/not-to take out etc

Yeah top mount all the way, especially for that sort of coin..

Also there's a few welding gates onto manifolds lately, yes it works to sone extent but this is a budget hack mod..those of you with cash to spend on good setups shouldn't even be considering it..

Yeah I'm looking at you Nick ;)

Yeah. Time will tell I guess. Hopefully turns out OK :)

hahahahahha thanks yer i know i was looking for the easy way out but it looks like ill have to 6boost it with a comment like that.or if i could get my hands on a hks low mount one.

looks like im going to have to sell my 2000k old ceramic coated .87 pro s rear housing & dump it never ends ARTZ !!

No limit so far going bottom mount. Manifold could have Been a hiccup, but 50% flow increase is a nice gain. Plus I look stock under the bonnet.

Standard dif haha.

Haha no wonder she is a pig to drive :woot:

Get a decent diff and feel how much straighter she drives and how much more pressure it puts on your tail bone when she starts putting the power down....

Absolute next mod for ya shopping cart mate :thumbsup:

Lol. Read pig as "beast" and yes. Need dif. Like a cusco semi locked number?I get the impression fully locked will drive me bananas.

lHaha i have a 2way id say 1.5 would be better for the street or an R34 diff if $$$ are tight :P

I run a Tomei 2-Way in the 34.. they are really not as bad as you would think, unless your cornering at a decent speed and have to launch the brakes you wont slide around

Yeah? Hmm. I would have though avoid 2way? From the info I'm gathering 1.5 may be the go. What's main dif (pun intended)between 1.5 and 2 way as far as day to day drive ability. What am I gonna feel when doing things like round normal corners or a maccas drive through?

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
