It really depends on your goal but I prefer smaller diameter runners, 6-2-1 with less merge area to keep the gas speed up. This may restrict your top end capabilities a little, but most don't need 800+kw of flow anyway.

Don't forget, the wastegate path is just as important as the turbo, the incorrect angle off the merge may see you struggling to control boost without a 60mm gate, and perhaps limit your top end flow unnecessarily.

Thanks for your input scotty.

Yes the wastegates will be angled correctly, even more so than most of the setups that tends to be at 90 degrees and are for sale these days.

Would love some manifold fabricators/vendors to chime in.

This the guy who made mine - have a look through his gallery:

I had a look, none of those are 6-2 to the flange.

And sorry to trouble you scotty, do you have any photos of your 6-2-1 top mount setups?

Are you making you're own manifold, Mike?

Yes, definitely slow and steady though...

What I wanted to be able to do is have a compact billet collector, makes it as cheap as possible. But also so that you can build a 3-1 tube merge and weld it straight on.

This is my collector effort so far... the T4 flange part is billet machined to get the transition from circle to rectangle spot on.

Good stuff! That T4 flange part is exactly what I wanted as well as a T6 variant.

The 3-1 section off the back half of the cylinders for me would be further away so just a schedule 10 2.5 inch crossing over with the wastegate off that.

The front 3-1 section would be roughly the same or slightly lower with the wastegates being about 60 degrees from vertical, as the power steering/AC will be relocated elsewhere.

why not merge them earlier to create more merge points for extra venturi effects and group each two that will fire close together? above collective looks alot like the usual twin scroll ..

The merge earlier part is exactly what I said 1 post above yours.

Not sure what you are on about for the "extra venturi effects and group each two that will fire close together" part though.

I can get the flanges made with what ever primary size going into it and a T6 one too... send me a PM.

A more progressive merge and a waste gate port that is more in line with the merge instead of 90° is a lot better but I want to keep it compact and I am using twin 44mm gates so boost control should be ok.

I was on about merging 1+5, 3+6 and 2+4 so you have 3 merge points then they merge into the final collector, when cyl1 fires then number 5 that fires next will have a vacuum in its runner ( venturi effect)

Each merge ( 3 pairs + 1 final merge) would step up in pipe size to encourage flow , maybe start off with a small diameter pipe and get larger at each collector like a set of TRI-Y extractors on a V8

Not sure how that would work for a twin scroll setup?

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
