MJTru Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 i'm looking to buy this manifold what are your thoughts on this item. http://www.full-race.com/catalog/popup_ima...012880bb271f8d8 http://www.full-race.com/catalog/product_i...012880bb271f8d8 http://www.full-race.com/catalog/popup_ima...012880bb271f8d8 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/232243-check-this-link-on-turbo-manifold-out/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
axe s Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) i wouldn't be rushing out to buy one.... nearly twice the price of 6Boost and not tuned length (from what i can see)... doesn't look as nice either.... the only thing better is the twin wastegates (if you wanted this option) but if you asked Kyle to do it he would... Just my 2 cents...

discopotato03 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Not really sure what you mean by "tuned length" . Geoff works off pressure drop through each runner not length which is the proper way to go about it . Neither the engine or the turbo care about equal length but with manifold pressure its a different story . Your call , search around the web about FullRaces exhaust manifolds . The usual dilemma is can you afford them or not , not do they work or not . If it were me and the cost wasn't an issue I know what I'd do . A .

R31Nismoid Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Full Race is high end, no doubt about it. Great gear, thats reflected in the price tag too Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/232243-check-this-link-on-turbo-manifold-out/#findComment-4076439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
juggernaut1 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) Yeah nice stuff - here's the one Full-Race made for me - still one the jig (top mount T3 for an SR20 - twin scroll and dual gate): Edited August 15, 2008 by juggernaut1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/232243-check-this-link-on-turbo-manifold-out/#findComment-4076586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8E180 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) great design runners and collect full race make realli good manifolds but i dont like the idea of using stainless for manifolds stainless just doesnt compare to mild steel steam pipe imo even the highest grade stainless will have a higher chance of cracking where as mild steel steam pipe is so strong that they can be sold with life time warranty spend some time going threw this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ma....html&st=40 pages 3 and on wards have alot of good info u should read up on Edited August 15, 2008 by STR8E180 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/232243-check-this-link-on-turbo-manifold-out/#findComment-4076630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 ^^ meh. Stainless Nismo Manifold off my GTS-R, 20 years now and still going strong. Nothing wrong with stainless if its a good grade and designed well.

VB- Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 yeah reliability isnt a problem with good stainless mani's, although i would like to see what heat retention is like between mild and some thick, high grade stainless Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/232243-check-this-link-on-turbo-manifold-out/#findComment-4077259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATGTS-R Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 As above. I also have a stainless nismo gtstr manifold factory fitted up to the car in 1987. Came off for hpc coating year or two ago and no signs of any fatigue let alone cracking anywhere. Whatever stainless they used it sure as hell is thick as the manifold weighs a tonne.

Strik3r Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 my stainless has developed some cracks.. have welded them back together but thats a short term fix.. theres a reason kyle offers lifetime warranty on his steam pipe manifolds... will be upgrading to 6boost once the manifold starts to leak again.

R31Nismoid Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 ^^ yeh but thats because its a $400-$600 ebay special, what do you expect from something like that in all honesty?

DCIEVE Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 yeah reliability isnt a problem with good stainless mani's, although i would like to see what heat retention is like between mild and some thick, high grade stainless thermal conductivity for stainless is much lower than your typical mild steel I would spend the extra and go full race in a heartbeat, currently have 6boost and looking to make the change if that gives you any idea.
