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?

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
