Precision Billet Turbos

[tricstar]

Honestly mate don't know if the full race is better or not. Would need to do some back to back testing which would be a real pain in the ass as you would need to plumb up 2 different sets of gates.

If I had my time again I would probably just bought a 6 boost one for reasons such as

1. Cheaper

2. Quicker to obtain (each fullrace manifold is made On order)

3. If it cracked or failed in anyway would be easier for warranty

4. The full race is a bit of a nightmare plumbing wise.

Though I do like how the manifold looks and how it makes the turbo sit towards the front of the car.

I also had to cut a bit of the re enforcement out of my bonnet to fit the Massive frame of the BW

yeah there'd want to be some noticeable up side to warrant the above trade-offs..

How long did it take from payment till it turned up on your doorstep Joey?

It was a while ago but from what I can recall it was ages.. Like as in months.

It didn't bother me at the time as the car wasn't ready anyway.

Also if you order from the US you will pay tax.. Not like the dodgy japs who put Down 700 bucks for a nismo pump, injectors and a twin plate copper mix

I do admitt the manifold is a work of art though and I don't regret buying it

I would not regret buying it either, it is a very well designed manifold, better design than the 6boost.

It's a "gift"

Any email back? The one on the 34 did look a little bigger but by how much I couldn't say. I'd love to know!

What do you think you will order for your car John? 6466?

Email - yes, Answer - no. But will let you know as soon as I do.

I did however email a mob over in the US and they put the 6466 in the middle of the EFR 8374 and 9180 in terms of response and power. This makes it a good choice I'd rekon.

I'm still committed to more time with my twin EFR's, however they're only 1 failure away from being replaced for good.

Interesting.

Wasn't the berry 34 running an EFR last year? If so, I wonder what the reason for the swap was.

Whilst it's not my place to answer on Mark's behalf, I can tell you from experience that anyone dealing with BW in the early "EFR Launch" days didn't really get looked after that well by them. this experience makes the decision to change fairly easy, dollar permitted ofcourse!

Can you elaborate how they are better in design?.. I haven't really checked out the 6 boost yet

The runner lengths are designed correctly (pulse tuned), 6boost is not. I believe it to be important in turbo manifold design.

Nope. It shat itself, they went back to a T04Z off their R33 GTR tarmac car IIRC.

[wolverine]

or

suffered undisclosed secret issues that could neither be confirmed nor denied while discussions with BW was ongoing?

Ah well there you go.

lol yeah at the time... Plenty knew what had happened, yet the marketing machine was trying to avoid admitting it.

[GTScotT]

received a paypal invoice for some parts

one item matches a term used in this thread.

ooohhhh snap.

[zebra]

what have you done Jase?

lol

[WHITER33GTS-T]

my 6boost, purchased back in 08

[GTScotT]

lol

lol its not definite yet, but I have the invoice for a 5558 .64

was going to pay it this week but funding fell short will need to wait a few more weeks maybe

[Mitcho_7]

That's a really nice looking manifold.

Does it seem to work well running the single gate for a twin scroll?
