Anyone ever been able to reproduce the claims tomei make about these manifold on a rb26 ?

I read about it and can't find much info beside marketing BS. no true testimonial. Also, My machnist looked at both and the difference is very slim.. to a point where you can ask yourself if it's worth it!

Thanks,

Alex

they flow almost 50% more than the std item, the std cast can be ported to within 5%.

Std will give you better response

Tomei will give you better flow at over 400rwkw

6 boost are better everywhere except installation.

Flow 50% more? how comes? I mean the difference is like 2-3 more mm.

Had both. Cracked two sets of tomei's and one didnt last 1500kms. This is on a road car too. Ported stockers I was down 2kw. This is on a 400rwkw car. So sweet FA difference.

I cracked a pair of Tomei's on my GT-R. Welded a repair and then eventually wore a hole through on the top side of the bends. On my second pair now but as Piggaz has done my next set will be ported cast iron R34 oem units.

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.

    • agreed, the price vs gains it’s there.   unless you go china supercharger. Temu racing anyone?😂https://www.facebook.com/share/15nkfpsg7Z/?mibextid=wwXIfr that was one of the ones that popped up on my feed 😂
    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
