hey guys i am putting a high mount gt35r turbo on my stagea and am having troubles with manifolds not fitting . i now have a 6boost manifold and it fits the engine but the turbo hits on the rocker cover badly . also there is no room for a dump pipe to fit between the manifold and fire wall.

I have a 6boost RB25 mani and ive dummied it up with a GT35 and everything sat very nicely.

Im not aware of any differences between the stagea 25 and the R33 one so il be interested to see this

Post up some pics.

thats funny it looks dodgy as...cough ebay?... gotta ask what size rear housing have you got on the turbo? Im sure with the "genuine" 6boost one, kyle should be able to help you out atleast... if you talk to him and explain whats happening

i have noy got pics of the 6boost one yet as my camera been playing up i bought the 6boost one second hand it has no markings on it but the guy has told me that is what it was .i was in desperate need so i bought it . where could i get a new 6boost one from.

Why not look at going custom? At least you know it will fit comfy and work then... Assuming nothing else fits. But if you keep buying and selling manifolds that dont fit, your going to do your dough.

just do the dodgey, take it down to an exhaust shop and get them to refit the flange on the manifold so the turbo can fit on. probly the cheap and easy way out i think

Kyle spends a lot of time on the collector, filing, smoothing etc, it might be tricky getting a XYZ exhaust shop to modify it. I would 100% call Kyle and talk about your options.

hey guys i scrappedthat manifold and bought a xforce one every thing bolts up fine now wish i could find the guy that sold me that so called second hand 6boost one on boost cruisin and i would shove it up his arse. as every one on here says 6boost are neat this one is not that neat so i am thinking i got had . and he sold me some cheap shit one does the 6boost one have any markings on it to identify it . well if any one needs scrap stainless now i your man ha ha i have 3 good rb25 flanges now as i am going to scrap the rest of the manifold s or if any one wants one to modify will gladly send at your cost. cheers thanks for your help guys and girlys.

    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
