A question, what makes the difference between a low mount exhaust manifold and a high mount manifold? Does it disapate heat easier? Does it allow more room to fit larger turbos in? Does it provide a shorter route?

What is the main difference between the two?

  • 2 months later...
anyone interested in a group buy?

Depending on Price and when you were thinking of getting them in...

I have been looking at some of those beig sold by another guy on Yahoo Japan.. his "Buy now" price is 50,000 Yen though.. Which through 'pp-oz' buying them off of Yahoo Japan for me, works out to be about $900 delivered to my door..

What sort of price to get these landed and delivered in Aus?

Also interested in Rear Adjustable Upper Control Arms and Engine Dampeners to suit an R32 GTR if you are keen on going a bit bigger with the buy up..

thats the one ive got , it gave me an extra 12rwkws at the same boost.

as in the same turbo, same set-up, only difference was the changing to this manifold?

it would make sense that some sort of manifold would flow better than the stocker... just look at the stupid stock thing...?! its like getting extractors on an NA car i suppose...

has anyone tried an aftermarket manifold with the stock turbo?

At that price I am in if we are looking at doing this relatively soon. (ie. Next month or two.) I got confirmation last night that these SECTION manifolds mount in the stock position, I have also seen some people weld a few sections of metal onto them so that they can mount the stock heat shield over the top, I am looking into this now for mine. As well as Ceramic Coating.. (But I am pedantic when it coems to these things)

I will keep my eye on this thread, if you start another one, please reference it in here.

In terms of dump pipes I am looking at the Trust ones as the feed for the wastegate pipe is a lot further down, you ahve to buy them as a dump/front combination, but the fruther down the collection point the less restriction and potential turbulence issues you will get up near the turbine..

if you can win some at the 32000yen they are currently at I would be interested too. even up to around 40000yen.

don't forget you'll have to pay someone to buy and ship them and they won't be particularly cheap to post (quite heavy/bulky), plus factor in some import duty + GST for good measure.

Sort of on the same topic, does anyone know of a cheaper version of the bridged low mount manifiolds?

My GT-RS terbs shuffle like a bastard during boost build up and I have the option of either adding a bridge to my existing manifolds (prefer not to as they are nicely ceramic coated inside and out) or selling them to buy a bridged pair.

Gav mate,

do you just mean a metal bracket to brace the two together or an actual tube that will join the exhaust gas from the two manis?

I'm going to assume you mean bracket, in which case I reckon you are better off adding one to the manifolds you have.

Anyone wishing to organise a gorup buy on the turbo outlet pipes like the picture above, I am keen.. I know the stokcer pipes are majorly restrictive..

The crossover pipes are a good idea to equalise turbine pressure, but I always have a concern about any possible reversion causing turbulence, but this would be at certian rev ranges only and if you're trying to run GT-RS's then I gues you need all the help you can get..

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
