I mean, I think half the reason  they sound so good is  because they are not using traditional  merge collectors. The original gtsr unit has a flat style collector, the reproductions shown in this thread have angle-cut pipes, but the collection is still "flat".  

Could  one not just use two 3-1 flat collectors and the exact same pipe lengths as the original item?

Then again,  I can't fabricate so I could be missing something obvious here.

Whilst i would absolutely love a genuine R31house item i would never support speedtek in any way shape or form, even if i was receiving a free manifold from them. f**k speedtek.

The speedtek manifolds don't even come close to the quality of the R31house equal length, single piece, hand bend runners.....
They're no where near equal length either.

I've spend literally hundreds of hours searching and attempting to translate any info over the years on gts-r manifolds and especially the R31house manifolds and his journey to recreate "that sound" and from what I have found, there's been three iterations all up now.

The first was the long large diameter merge type:
97E6C78C-10D9-4D41-ADB9-C15C32B43D8D-5123-0000063BFA4F06F5.jpg

The second iteration is the one I have called "max" :

And the latest version 3 is the "premium" which just launched a few months ago, here's a pic of one with an original gts-r:

I managed to translate a blog post from R31house from a few months ago stating that the particular sound that R31house refer to as "that sound" comes from the pressed plate steel merge collector on the original Hr31 gts-r manifold and they've only now with modern tech been able to 100% recreate the original and finally achieve the 20 year long goal.

Another interesting translation was that he said he felt his car lost response and power with the v3 "premium" compared to the v2 "max" because the runners end at the start of the plate steel merge with the openings facing directly at the inner front flat face of the merge collector and this creates turbulence BUT is the precise cause of "that sound".

I also have seen two versions of the actual RB20det-R GTS-R manifolds as well, the normal 1-800 homologation Hr31 gts-r manifold with press bent like runners and heaps of splatter from the welds Etc.:

Then there's the Hr31's that the racing teams like Reebok, Calsonic and Gibson etc. received and the manifolds they had was the same design with much, much higher quality materials, runner bending and welding...

The ReeBok car:

I even tracked one down 5-6 years ago on a sale thread and contacted the guy selling it and it turned out he was an actual mechanic for Gibson Motorsport and the manifold he had (sold) was unused because when they received the hr31 race cars, Gibson removed the manifolds immediately in place for the custom Aussie made Gibson manifolds, this is that actual for sale thread photograph:

And obviously this is the Gibson manifold:

I genuinely love these manifolds and live to share the information to those who also have a genuine interest (:

And I have actually left out a couple of others hahah...

The Hr31 Autech had shorter runners and a smaller merge collector into a t28 flange which was widely rumoured to spool a lot faster and produce better numbers than the gts-r manifold even though it's wasn't equal length:

R31house has also done a couple of the Autech recreations in the "max" v2 style, note the unequal runners:

Just had this arrive fresh from the motherland, a piece from the owner of R31house’s personal inventory..... A brand new completely unused GTS-R turbo manifold still with the original Nissan part number label on it ?
Feast your eyes.....

    • 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.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
