Gt35r On 6 Boost Manifold

[log in]

hi all wondering whether anyone else has had any issues on a rb26 with a 1.06 rear housing of a gt35r hitting on the cam cover with a 6 boost manifold?

rear housing just touches and just prevents me from tightening up the manifold all the way. can i use a steel shim style gasket or 2 to space it out a tiny bit?

will this cause any issues or should i just use a .82 rear housing instead?

manifold previously had a gt35 with a .82 rear which had no clearance issues.

thanks luke

I have the exact same problem, my .82 housing just fits but i can't put a beenie on it because it's to close. I have machined a 1.06 housing at an angle to make it clear but haven't had time to try it. I told Kyle but he assured me my engine must be bent because there's nothing wrong with his jig.

Bent engine. LOL

I was considering this same setup but I might look elsewhere for a highmount if thats the case.

No clearance issue with mine.

Are you using 25 or 26 covers Dave.?

[NYTSKY]

26

26

Interesting. I have this setup on my 25/30 and no clearance issues but i have seen a couple of 26 setups that run a bit close.

Another manifold i had with a similar problem I fixed by facing the head flange at an angle so it moved the turb away from the engine.

Is yours a 25 or 26 head dave?

25 mate.

Surely you can get him to modify it a little?

Don't worry I have spoken to kyle and he will fix the problem. it's still an awesome manifold!

25 mate.

25 is a different jig.

The other option is ETM (Extreme Turbo Manifolds) very similar design to the 6boost ones except the head flange has the bolt holes to support both the 25 and 26 heads.

I dont have a prob with the quality of the 6boost product, I already use it on my 25/30 but I am way over friggin around putting on and taking off exhaust manifolds in skylines, Its a priest of a job.

If Kyle has remedied the problem i will be only too happy to go there again.

I must have a sensitive sense of humor today because that almost made me spit my nasty green Schweppes lime drink all over my laptop. hahahah
