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.

Any pics on car mate? or just in hand?

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'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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
