I've contacted RAW Brokerage about this and sent them lots of pictures and dimensions of the issues. Since their collector is CNC'd there may be another solution to this problem as easy as making a new CNC'd collector for this manifold and cutting this one off and welding the new one on. Solution...but not a quick solution. They are concerned for sure and do not want any negative press around their products so I will give them the time to get it right. This clearance issue is avoidable for sure and perhaps we may not need to get into much more. I'm still waiting on my hypertune manifold regardless and have lots of fabrication remaining.

But yes I believe the Greddy sump is below the cross member regardless of lowering an additional 1/2". I'll try to get pictures this week for you.

That was my first thought "I could just machine...". My second thought was, "Wait, THEY should machine..." I have a big problem paying $2k USD and then having to redo work I already paid for.

Update. RAWBrokerage offered my money back and offered return shipping, which is extremely fair of them and I appreciate that. Stand up shop, I think they just barely missed the design (or fabrication of THIS particular manifold). I have sent a request to 6boost. If that doesn't go through I will be getting the welding machine fired up.

Wow. This hypertune manifold is a work of art. Truly worth every penny. It's FAR lighter than the factory unit as well. I'll try to get some weight comparisons when I put it all together.

I'll get more pictures of it soon enough. In the meantime, this should give an idea of what to expect when you order one!

Fitting up the intake manifold. 6Boost shipped my turbo manifold this week so hopefully next-week's pictures will really be coming together.

AS you can see it is BIG. No way of making it to the stock intercooler piping, so more fab work there (which is OK because I need to remove the BOV piping down there anyway as I'm using the EFR internal BOV). I did have to remove the bracket at the rear that holds the clutch master cylinder vacuum line. I may use a straight check valve for the install when I re-route that line. And I "slightly" had to bend the clutch master cylinder hard line to get it past the plenum. Also there are no provisions for the Air temp sensor in this manifold, so I may have to weld some threaded collars to it.

Also should be noted that you need Z32 throttle cable. And it should be noted that it doesn't come with studs or fasteners to attach to the head (and for the money it really should).

enjoy.

Nice to see some australian parts going on.

You should be impressed with the 6 Boost for the price (especially with how strong your dollar is compared to ours). Kyle offers lifetime warranty on his manifolds too.

Any plans to go external wastegate in the future? Nothing better than an RB screaming at full song.

What fuel do you guys have available in the US, e85 ethanol?

Sorry for all the questions.

Edited by skylinewithlearners

I do have E85 available about an hour away from me. Most of my buddies fill 55 gal drums when traveling around so there is a bit around for tuning and playing. I did see that haltech offers the ethanol kit and i'll likely go that way after my initial tuning.

Funny thing is the manifold arrived in the states...oh a couple thousand miles away from me. Apparently there was a mixup with my address. No worries the guy was kind enough to call me and ship it to me. I should have it this week and expect BIG updates next week as I get this thing together.

My plans are to keep the medium boost canister on the 8374 IWG for now and tune for pumpgas. Since this AND my on-board MAP sensor limit at ~22 psig I think it is a good stopping point until I get the E85 sensor ordered and plumbed, as well as swap out to larger injectors and fuel pump. After that I will start the E85 tuning in 10% increments until it is 100%. I bet it will be a frigging monster then. Lots of time before that point though as my plans are a fun street car and E85 still isn't very local yet.

No plans to externally gate. I would likely just go straight to 9180 EFR if that were the case OR if they start making an IWG hybrid with the .92 housing on the larger turbine wheel while keeping the same intake wheel (are you listening BW?!).

Flex Fuel tune ^_^

Borg Warner do a 9174 now. Still sitting on the fence as to how that will go.

9180 with the 0.92 read IWG, soo much compressor for that small hot side.

You may have to bite the bullet and externally hate the gasses and go to a larger rear housing?

I wouldn't want a 9180, I would want an 8380. The 9180 has an 80mm turbine...it's a lot higher flow than the 74mm turbine even in the same AR housings (according to match-bot).

Basically the .92 IWG housing coupled with the larger 80mm turbine and their 83mm (exducer) compressor. According to match-bot, this combo would be higher flowing than even the 1.45 AR housing on the 74mm turbine. But then again, it may push the map to the point that the turbine simply wouldn't spool the compressor on low-end anyway so therefore going with the larger compressor may still be the best option.

FINALLY! Shippers lost my package for over a month. Long enough for Kyle at 6boost to build another and almost ship to me before it arrived at my doorstep unannounced.

So yes the 6boost manifold is a PERFECT fit in this setup! Incredible manifold. I love it!

To note, I am rerouting my PS return line from the rack, and I am making an AC line for this setup. I am not actually sure if the stock R32 AC line won't fit, but it was far easier to cut and have my guys fit up a new hose for me than to mess with it's location.

More updates will come quickly.

    • 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.
