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

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
