Just wondering if these manifold in twin scroll are quality product ?

My mechanic told me to stay away from Rawbrokerage because he saw too many cracking. He recommand 6boost (1600us) or Full-race ( 1800ish us) + shipping ( figure another 50-75us$)

While the 6boost is 1360us delivered. Is there any other manifold option for an EFR single ?

Yes Sinco Customs make quality gear. Without a side by side comparison it is hard to judge but I suspect price and quality will be similar to 6 Boost.

I've got a 6boost, seems to work well, no cracking etc. I've read that there can be a boost creep issue with the design of the manifold and I've experienced a bit of that myself but changing the spring in the wastegate fixed it to a large extent.

I use a MX Performance manifold that I'm extremely happy with. If desired, he can make it in 1" diameter (which is what I went for). This has given my turbo unreal response.

Have any photos of it. ????

I've had a full-race twin scroll dual gate sr20 manifold since 2008 (probably one of the first in Australia to try this full-race setup) - no issues and great quality.

I've had more problems with the Hypertune Intake manifold.

+1 Sinco Customs, definitely comparable to the 6 Boost, have seen both

I have a Sinco manifold on my car, very well priced ($850nzd) and very well made, they even had to custom make it as the EFR internal wastegate and RB30 combo I have, made their standard T4 twinscroll RB26 manifold not a fitting option.

Have any photos of it. ????

Check out my build thread here....

You will see a pic of the manifold (before it was fitted) at the bottom of the first page.

shameless plug but if you want some up close detailed pics of a 6boost manifold or if your near Penrith in western sydney ur welcome to come check it out first hand

or u can buy it and change the flange :P

Full race manifolds are stainless steel and robotically welded so the finish is very good.

While 6 boost manifolds work well I think they are poorly fabricated. Weld quality is crap elbows not lined up properly etc and obviously they are only carbon steel. A properly back purged full penetration stainless manifold will NOT crack like alot of the china rubbish you hear about.. The other makes I cant comment on as I have never seen them in the flesh.

As a pipe fitter welder by trade the full race manifold has a much nicer finish.. Unsure of fitment but heard few dramas with 6 boobs lately ;)

from my 6boost experience, Ive come away thinking that they are not great for a street car, thinking

runner diameter and runner length is larger than a stock manifold and therefore creates some lag.. this is based on a

gt3076 twin scroll being slower to boost than a gtx3076 using stock housing, both external 0.82 rear

and using E85..

The GTX hitting 20psi at 3800rpm and the GT just over 4000rpm.. So id always stick with a stocky unless shooting for over 350kw and focused on drag racing or drift;

I've had both 6Boost and full-race (as mentioned above) in the sr20 configuration. The pipe diameters were the same and quality were both excellent but would sway towards the 6Boost for a better quality finish (this is back in 2008). The full-race is a heavy bugger being cast stainless and comes with lifetime warranty to the original purchaser....as I think the 6Boost does too.

Could you refer me to a cracked Raw Brokerage manifold? As we've yet to receive a complaint from any one.

I'm sure our one piece billet stainless collectors are stronger than a fabricated unit on any other setup:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
