Stock. Has been proven to over 430rwkw by me so far, with a simple external gate off the turbo housing.

More important than the manifold... Which fuel will you be running?

Currently 98 but when I do the manifold and turbo will be united E85. I don't doubt that you can make it work but a standard manifold would not be ideal. Especially for faster spool up and why not. Not to mention how much extra exhaust gas needs to be flowed when running E85

I Probably should have mentioned it's off an Rb25 s2 not a 26. Out of curiosity has your exhaust manifold been ported out?

It's your money, I know of many other parts I would rather spend the $1500 on.

Everything is a restriction to some extent, I just prefer the factory manifold to anything else I have fitted so far, including 6boost.

No, no porting was done, just a 45mm gate off the housing.

What is so hard to believe? The turbo nozzle is 10 times smaller than the runner diameters all added up, how can the manifold be the restriction. The turbo is the obvious restricted part, but hey, go and stick a .63 rear on for 'response'...

I've heard the stock manifold is huge restriction and traps in a lot of heat because it's trapping so much exhaust gas and also because cast iron holds heat well. What do you mean the turbo "nozzle"?

Huge restriction that flows 430+kw?

Anything traps heat when the exhaust gasses are 1000+C. It is the way the materials deal with the heat, and how they allow expansion of the metal without cracking or warping that makes or breaks a setup.

Are we taking RB25 manifolds or RB26 manifolds? Is there a difference in flow? Maybe 26 flows heaps better?

I ran an rb22 with std exhaust mani and HKS2835 with internal gate on 310 rwkw using 20psi on e42.5 for over 2 years full boost 4000rpm - all on track did over 30 events like it fantastic setup

there are other that have done similar or better

so flow myth debunked, ethanol fuel myth debunked

std mani will do it easy all day every day

But its how the gases get from the exhaust valve to the turbine that also plays a big part. In the ays of E85 you tend to be able to mask a lot of things but I can tell you in the days of 98 if you wanted the most out of your RB20 or RB25 then a manifold helped. My 2c is whilst std manifolds make the power, you notic a big improvement in how the car drives and makes its power when driving it on the street or flogging its guts at the track.

My other 2c is if you can get a 6 into 2 into 1 manifold then it will work better again vs the 6boost like 6 into 1 manifolds

This was pretty much my point

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
