sorry what i mean is it should make more power with your manifold on my car.and that if someone is making just under 350kw with a stock one then your manifold should be able to make more. in theory

will i get a better price if i mention jim lol

No better price I don't think.hah.

I getcha. Yes I can definatelt make much more.power with this manifold.

You guys will wanna be careful hanging ext gates on manifolds that have had material taken out.

1. The manifold is now weaker

2. You are adding more weight

The chances it'll crack are now even higher, in standard form they rarely crack but people have certainly taken out too much meat in the past and then had them fail. Making all the stuffing around worthless.

Just something to think about, don't get too crazy with taking material out everywhere you can.

$800 is quite expensive when you can get a proper after market one for $400 more :/

That's why you take it to a pro. Dont want some tard making your manifold into tissue paper.And air temps through manifold are now cooler And has less resistance travelling through. Despite loosing material I would say its prob a little safer, If not the same as stock. As long as too much material isn't taken out.

Regarding external gate that I think is a fair call. Hanging weight off a thinner material may not be a great idea.

Only internally gated bottom mount manifolds I found were 1800. So this was the cheaper option for me. Pretty happy all round!

ported stock manifold $800... 6boost $1200.. i know which one i would go.

If top mount or externally gated. Yep. Anyone got cfm 6boob. Cos my gains are pretty good. Nearly 30rwkw. 100nm torque. Forget the name. How's it flow?

I'm certain there has been at the least one user who did get it professionally done, and it cracked after a little while (not immediate).

Hard to know with every single manifold how much to/not-to take out etc

Yeah top mount all the way, especially for that sort of coin..

Also there's a few welding gates onto manifolds lately, yes it works to sone extent but this is a budget hack mod..those of you with cash to spend on good setups shouldn't even be considering it..

Yeah I'm looking at you Nick ;)

Yeah. Time will tell I guess. Hopefully turns out OK :)

hahahahahha thanks yer i know i was looking for the easy way out but it looks like ill have to 6boost it with a comment like that.or if i could get my hands on a hks low mount one.

looks like im going to have to sell my 2000k old ceramic coated .87 pro s rear housing & dump it never ends ARTZ !!

No limit so far going bottom mount. Manifold could have Been a hiccup, but 50% flow increase is a nice gain. Plus I look stock under the bonnet.

Standard dif haha.

Haha no wonder she is a pig to drive :woot:

Get a decent diff and feel how much straighter she drives and how much more pressure it puts on your tail bone when she starts putting the power down....

Absolute next mod for ya shopping cart mate :thumbsup:

Lol. Read pig as "beast" and yes. Need dif. Like a cusco semi locked number?I get the impression fully locked will drive me bananas.

lHaha i have a 2way id say 1.5 would be better for the street or an R34 diff if $$$ are tight :P

I run a Tomei 2-Way in the 34.. they are really not as bad as you would think, unless your cornering at a decent speed and have to launch the brakes you wont slide around

Yeah? Hmm. I would have though avoid 2way? From the info I'm gathering 1.5 may be the go. What's main dif (pun intended)between 1.5 and 2 way as far as day to day drive ability. What am I gonna feel when doing things like round normal corners or a maccas drive through?

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
