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 am running out of ideas this is the second manifold i have bought as the first was my own fault and bought off e bay . has any one else come accross this problem before .please help . manny thanks in advance bernard .

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.

    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
