Top Mount Manifolds

[Adz2332]

Hey all

Just looking around for top mount manifold for my track 33 rb25.

Is there any other quality choices without forking out $1200 for a 6boost?

Wanting an external gated and screamer.

Not keen on ill fitting ebay stuff

Ive got a brae hi mount manifold which pricewise is similar to 6boost but the construction and gains ive had cant be compared to cheap stuff you can buy under 1000 so I personally wouldnt go any of the cheaper stuff unless your on a budget and performance gains from it arent that much of a big deal.

Track work pushes manifolds to the limits, I would prefer the factory cast one, with factory heat shields personally, and then externally gate the turbo off the housing..

Just don't go too small for turbo housing, it will cause high egt's which no manifold will take for long... Ethanol (e85) will help with longevity.

Cheers guys... might save up and do it right the first time. Brae hi mounts? Are they as good as what people claim 6boost are??

Sure are quality is extremely high and brenton is great to deal with. Here is a pic of the inside of the collectors and dyno results of before and after manifold on my setup with only change being manifold and turbo converted to ext gate boost was at same psi

<br /><br />You are building a track car, go with the proven items. Cheaping out anywhere will punish you more than it would in a street car where you can sometimes get away with it. $1200 Is nothing

Yer very true...

Also thanks for the pics. Very impressive dyno result just by changing manifold! A little shocked by it actually.

haha nice mate!! making me want to leave work and work on the damn thing now!

I know a guy who bought a cheap ebay highmount manifold for a sr20, all was good until the wastegate pipe snapped off the manifold under boost

Hi all

Been a good read so far and as I am in the process if looking for a manifold I thought I would ask a few questions.

Now I know that the 6 boost that Kyle makes are a great unit $1260 and the Brae unit $1100 + also looks the goods but there are other manifolds out there that are cheaper that also look the goods but not much in the way of feedback.

Out of interest sake has any one had experiences with

At performance manifolds

D1 stable manifolds

Sinco custom manifolds

Hybrid performance manifolds

Cheers

I would just go with proven results.

We went 6 Boost split with twin gates, why risk buying something for $1000 when for $200 more you have a life time warranty that it wont crack with a brand name known to be efficent and used on many big powered builds?

Hell if you want ot save a buck, heaps of others out there, have a google and enjoy reading about welds cracking......

Pay once, do the job once and forget about it.

I have a Sinco manifold - I am sure it is of at least equal quality to a 6 boost but it is not a cheap option. There's a link in my sig if you want to check out his work.

I'm hearing what your saying an I agree,

However if everyone purchased 6 boost and that was it then where would we be besides being happy and crack free?

There are other quality products out there and I was really interested in peoples experiences with them, if they are any good etc etc

We all know 6 boost are the best

Thank you Kiwi for the info I will check out your post

Cheers

Happy and crack free sounds good to me. Where would you rather be??

[FJ RB25]

These are the AT performance manifolds for$900 occasionally cheaper when he has specials
