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:

WOW. Any more info on that car? I can't find anything on google

Just bought my second 6boost manifold and I think its great build quality and performance, would highly recommend

Your car makes me very jealous.

You cant be serious? ;)

Perfect robotically tig welded runs as apposed to the shit 6boost welds? As far as I know the full race manifolds are schedule 40 pipe just the same as the 6 boost.

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.

Its not the welds - but rather the pipe to flange fitment i found the 6Boost to be better. I spent some time with a die grinder blending on the full-race. No such "tidy-up" was required on the 6Boost.

Interesting observation....the 6Boost also runs a shallower angle merge collector compared to the full-race and the above billet collector. Better.....who knows?

The full-race runs cast stainless pipe whereas the 6Boost does not. Perhaps the cast stainless is heavier.

I took these pics at work for work. They are both SR20DET twin scroll twin gate manifolds.

6boost is ceramic coated so all it's joins are smoothed out and so are it's welds, so it's not the most fair comparison but we'll work with what we got.

On 6boost you can see that there is surface rust already forming on the uncoated parts but the flange-to-pipe and "merge collector" are better compared to Full-race. Full-race ports each runner and the collector. Full-race is raw so you can see the welding is undeniably superior due to machine welding, it's stainless steel which has a few advantages including handling high heat better than the 6boost mild steel. Full race is a few hundred more expensive (in terms of SR20DET) so it's up to you if the advantages are "worth it".

Hope that helps :)

A look inside the Raw Brokerage 304SS billet collector which is exact 100% of the time eliminating human error as well as variance in jigging. They're designed to have a shallow transition and identical primary merging:

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 ?

Having seen the pics the Rawbrokerage item is worlds away from the cheap ebay stainless manifolds that do crack and fail.

Has your mechanic seen an actual Rawbrokerage manifold that has failed?

So much idle gossip in this business but seeing is believing.

And slightly off topic that Top Cat car seems to be running one of the few 3.4L equipped RB30s! (want one for my car).

It's definitely a beautiful manifold but it sits ridiculously high (but maybe that's an rb30 specific problem)... 1000hp on an 8374 is a bit of a stretch too!

I know this is an old thread but I am in the market for a T4 split pulse manifold.

The 6-Boost runners all look the same length albeit quite long but the pulsing should be smooth and even however the Doc Race and Full race do not look to be equal length runners, which would not be so good. Looks can be deceiving but that is what it looks like to me.

The stainless ones look pretty though.

6-Boost gets my vote. Function before Form!!

For what it's worth. A 6 Boost manifold on a RB26 based block with a 8374 1.05 ass end on it.

My mate is having trouble with his 6 boost manifold cracking, all the ones I have seen never have enough reinforcement on the welds.

Any he bought the manifold new but wasn't the original purchaser so they are not honoring the lifetime warranty which I think is disgraceful.

Just another reason I would never get one.

Really looking forward to your results Piggaz!

Will you tune it first on 98 before changing over to e85?

It's flex tuned so I'll post up both results.

98 is always a "commuter fuel". So I never really push it that hard. 20-22 psi on petrol it will be.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
