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

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
