Manifolds Do They Don't They

[WARLORD]

these thought all started by a forum member that had me thinking for a while and i need answers now (bastard)

the first pic is your seen this 1000 times manifold sold in performance shops and ebay.from $200-$800 so far people say there shit.

the second i have not seen many times and am wondering if they would be any good or if any one has one,they look ok to me but maybe to a high quality forum specialist might be able to advise me.

also these 6boost manifold dose any one have proof that they work,i know people say they don't crack but is there proof of gains.ive read posts in the past but after a while still no real answer!!

Quick list of mods,greedy intake manifold,hks gtrs,hks cams,forged pistons&rods,power fc,nismo injectors +++++++ all mods

if anyone can help that would be nice.

first pic ebay copy

second hpi manifold,copy or not i dont know.

I believe dangerman4 may have some words based on good experiences with the 6boost.

i Bought the first manifold off ebay and it didnt even fit.

Had to drill the holes out bigger for it to fit onto the studs then i finally got it on it would hit the mount tat supports the intake pipe just before the butterfly.

my mate has a vl turbo with the 6boost manifold with a stock internal engine and a t66 turbo. The spool time is almost instant. Its farkin insane

i have met kyle and he has showed me his manifolds and the merge collector on them is awesome. A+ quality and a top dude.

Also Mark from godzilla motorsports that has a r32 gtr, that now i believe runs 8.34 has a 6boost manifold on his car.

If ya looking at a manifold go check out 6boost first.

thanks for the info does your mate have a before and after ,power wise

I can find out for you.

he is doing 11.2 with it now though and has blown his gearbox.

dangerman4s thread comparing china manifold to extreme turbo manifold

[icydude]

Mark is indeed running a 6boost manifold

I just picked one up for my gtr, it took 4 months of waiting but it finally shipped out.

calaisturbo.com has some very smart people.

with manifold you get what you pay for (this excludes crappy stainless jap brands)

[simor32]

would a good manifold ie: 6boost or ETM bring boost on earlier??

what do you guys think of the second manifold

[NYTSKY]

Would like to know peoples opinions on the GCG manifolds.Could be an option for you WARLORD.

[humz]

the second one is just another version of cheap shit which looks attractive to the untrained eye.

dont be a stingy ass and go out and get yourself a 6-boost or hks gt- cast manifold to complement the reast of

your mods

very good .......sharp eye now where can i find a hks manifold ive looked for a while,and as for a 6boost manifold it would be nice to see how many people really got a good result,and how many of these are being used by sau members .

ok the first one is utter shit and gives zero incerease anywhere, the second ones design is killer and is based one the HPI one.... i know i helped to develop them.

the HPI and similar manifolds were originally developed by myself, EVAN and finally built by GIZZMO NZ the prototypes were then sent off to ********* factory to be manufactured..... a month later it was available ex HPI who just happens to use the same supplier.... it has now been copied by at least 4 other factories in taiwan and china.

as for performance there was no drawbacks and a clear increase accross the board (all original testing done with std turbo).... it took four prototypes to get right and many months of work on a dynapack to compare designs.

NO other local manufactured manifold can compete with that (HPI) design for response or power and factory turbo placement so all your normal dumps and front fit without modification..

intrested to know how much do you/they sell them for?

the one im looking at is $400

a few years back i was reading HPI magazine, they had a article on S/S manifolds and cast iron manifolds.....

does it really make a diffrents? besides how much heat one manifold can take? and weight?

in really depends on the application, i prefer on GTR's to leave the factory manifolds and heat shields in place but in sr20 for example anything over 230ish i will turf the manifold in favour of a few proven designs (not the cheap genric crap), up until the rb25 manifold was available i would never consider changing the factory item, even on small high mounts i would make up an adapter to lift turbo and run a gate pipe down for the waste gate as the factory manifold flowed OK'ish and combined with a good heatshield provided good results at a very low cost.
