Wrapping them in heat tape does void the warranty with 6boost. Also when i had mine heat wrapped i had silicon joiner close to manifold like your hard piping, burnt straight through the joiner, i would be looking at modify that piping more or finding something you can wrap the piping in to prevent it burning out.

yeah just lay a piece of heat reflective material over the silicone joiner that is close to the mani. that will protect it.

the mani's look very nice mate. hope they give some good gains. I think they will.

like this stuff. pic if of my old GTR set-up. the boys added heaps of the stuff for me to protect hoses etc. I was running HKS turbos on tomei mani's with tomei dumps.

plus you can see even with the tomei manis and dumps the front turbo dump is VERY close to the rear turbo compressor inlet. I used the trust piping kit which is nice as the rear inlet is cast and then also had the dump pipe wrapped to help.

here's the hard pipe kit I used. it's my favourite (have used it and the HKS one like yours) but unfortunately I don't think it would work with your mani's and with the RB30 it would all end up too high.

I was using the same manifolds and dumps. Still going with the tomei Dumps.

I plan on using a piece of OEM heat sheild. The multi layer with ceramic internal. Your hard pipe kit definately won't fit. I checked my clearance today and my kit will fit under the bonnet..by a very small margin.

I have heat wrapped the manifolds and prettied them up with some black therma-tec spray. I have to remove the head to reduce the oil restrictor down to 1mm, then will complete the installation.

My low mount 6boost manifold comes extremely close to the rocker covers and mine are painted in two pack paint and the mani is ceramic coated and i havnt had any issues with the paint so far. Im only running a single 35/40 though. The best thing you will get out of these manifolds is the noise haha! oh and the performance gain of course.

considering he already had sizeable lowmount manifolds (aftermarket) before this, i'd be surprised is there was a major exhaust note alteration.

jury is still out on the performance side as well.

3 pages, we need results :D

Guys,

didn't feel like this warranted starting it's own thread.

250kw GT3076 0.82 with 50mm ext gate welded on to stock manifold... screamer pipe, decat 3" turboback

If I get a 6boost manifold, would that make much difference at all to my setup?

I wouldn't bother at your power level. The OEM manifold is a good thing up to 300rwkw

Its always good to have a read of these type of threads so we can get some real world feedback.

Looking forward to seeing the back to back dyno test results, we don't get to see back to back testing often enough...even for our own liking!

As for the stock manifolds on RB25 being good for up too 300rwkw, while we don't disagree with that comment we have seen GT3076R's spool up to 400rpm sooner on RB25's and make slightly more power also with back to back testing.

Most of our RB25 customers running GT3076R's see upwards of 300rwkw on 18psi. Not sure what your 250rwkw was made on...but it might help :-)

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
