Why does everyone want gay stainless steel manifolds that crack etc heat fatigue, 6 boost manifolds and ones made from steel are 10 times better in theyr can b heated and cooled alot more times without damage plus they have been found to retain more heat and decrese spool up times of liek 2-5% percent from memory because they retain more heat the exhaust gas flow is quicker theirfore making the turbo spool faster, the only downside in weight thats all but if ur actually going to drive ur car ie do afew km's in it wouldnt u want something that is going to last....

Thanks Rory

note a link for some 6 boost manifolds:

i want a 6boost one but there is a bloody 4-6 week wait on them. i need my car back now as its my daily driver and its in peices as my stocker is cracked...

i have been told that the stocker will only crack due to running to lean....??? any comments?

I have recently had my 6boost (SR20) ex manifold and stock SR20 inlet manifold honed by Andrew Sanders (along with my turbo compressor cover). I don't have the before/after flow results on me but will post up later for anyone interested in this process.

OK for what its worth 6Boost ex manifold and standard blacktop inlet manifold (SR20) before and after extrude honing at 28 inches. Please note that my mandate to Andrew Sanders re exhaust manifold was not to equalise flow as I didn't want to increase the volume too much in runners 2 & 3 and loose any response. And my mandate re the inlet manifold was to equalise flow - which is nearly perfect. Just an example of the benefits of extrude honing.

6 Boost Exhaust Manifold

Before.............After

1 250............260

2 220............245

3 222............247

4 252............262

Standard SR 20 Blacktop Inlet Manifold

Before.............After

1 254............300

2 257............306

3 270............306

4 254............300

For comparison sake I pasted this RB exhaust manifold flow data previously posted in this thread but Im not sure at what pressure the flow tests were done?

Some flow rates for you guy's from extrusion flow honing standard manifold ,hks cast iron manifold and hks cast iron flow honed

standard manifold .........hks cast ...............hks cast flow honed

1 159.7.........................170.7............................194.8

2 162.4.........................166.6............................203.4

3 160.7.........................178.7............................198.7

4 150.1.........................183.6............................200.3

5 149.9.........................182.2............................207.8

6 173.3.........................184.7............................202.8

^^^^^ agreed but IMO the 6Boost manifolds has one of the best collectors in the business. Mercury Motorsport made 562 rwhp from their stock stroke sr20 with a 6 boost mani and GT35 turbo. This car also ran 10 sec quarters with manual box.

My manifold is also unique in that it has been custom made to suit one of the new round collector v-band Tial cast stainless housings for my HKS GTRS turbo.

Suggest you get in touch with Leigh from Extreme Turbo Manifolds if you need something sooner. The link is in my sig.

Found this link on power porting process of before and after hp figures done on a test mule RB30 engine when Specialised Power Porting was in its infancy.

a bit of a update on a old topic but...... i just spoke to Abrasive Flow Engineering who does or did work for uas on hone and extrude and his exact words are for a rb25det manifold.

"""don't wast your time and money they don't flow as good as a hks manifold ""

and

"""for $900 to extrude and hone i would go and get some thing better"""

f#%$ me.this is from the guy who does them while some companies are begin for work due the the $$$$ crises this guy has shocked the sh#@ out of me so ..........after reading this post and many like it over the years and looking at the figures people have posted on flow have we all been grossly mislead by people in the industry have figures been made up for the trusting customer.

what is one to thing !!!!!!!

if anyone does reply do it here.: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ex...47#entry4450747

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
