I was went to put this up with turbo but couldnt change title, its a swin scroll 6boost mani with t3 flange to suit rb25.

has same use as the turbo around 2000k came off at same time. in excell cond no cracks nothing.

will ship in australia, can send pictures via email

price is 700 may neg a tiny bit

asked for pics got sent some of a brand new looking manifold, with a T4 flange but when asked if it was t4 was told it was definitely t3..

don't mean to disrupt the sale but didn't sit right with me, don't know how to post pics up here or I would

I got the same. A pic of a T4 Twin Scroll 6boost manifold with a declaration of it being T3. When i asked for bolt spacing to confirm the flange, I didn't get any reply

I'm sure its great for someone wanting a T4 twin scroll but not so good for those wanting what it is advertised as

To anyone looking to buy this manifold, STOP. The seller has already told me that this has sold... Local pick up....

The seller got upset when I asked him for evidence that he actually had the manifold. The pictures which were sent to me (probably the same others have received) came from a 2006 thread about exhaust manifolds and were stolen straight from SAU!!! I found them really easily after googling 6boost RB25!

The sender claimed them as his own, even saying one of them was after the manifold had been used. Despite the fact that it clearly had not. When I called him on that he told me that they were his photo's. I asked him to prove this. He didn't instead he simply told me that the manifold had now sold.

- Never sent actual photo of manifold to my phone.

- Never sent any photo's of the manifold to my email, despite several requests.

Be careful about dishonest people on SAU! He is also selling other items in this section and like this thread, no photo's in any of them...

Buyer beware

I got sent photos to both my email and phone, but when the correspondence stopped when i questioned whether it was T3

I got sent the same photos from this other FS thread http://www.boostclassifieds.com.au/advert/2208923-6boost-Rb25-Exhaust-Manifold-EXC-Cond-for-Sale.html

I also got sent the flange photo from this thread http://www.240sxforums.com/forums/rb-tech/115980-group-buy-6boost-rb-exhaust-manifold.html

Yep looks dodgy

Well if this is the case i've been done!!!

I transfered this guy $1100 last friday, 26 of July, in payment for the manifold and the GT3582R turbo he has up for sale. He said he posted it that friday or saturday and when i checked with him yesterday, friday the 2nd of august, if he had an ETA or tracking number (was meant to be sent registered), he just said "Should arrive anyday mate".

Then to top it all off earlier tonight he contacts me saying that he hasn't seen the money yet and is questioning if i've transfered it...

Any thoughts on what i should do?!

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS WANKER AS HE WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND NEVER SEND YOU YOUR ITEMS, HE WILL JUST LIE ABOUT NOT GETTING THE MONEY, IT'S A SCAM

I should hope at least some of you guys that have been ripped off actually carried out due diligence here and took steps to verify this persons location and identify before blindly transferring them money.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
