R32 Gtr Build In Usa

[Hadouken]

Would that put the sump below the cross member?

[HarrisRacing]

I've contacted RAW Brokerage about this and sent them lots of pictures and dimensions of the issues. Since their collector is CNC'd there may be another solution to this problem as easy as making a new CNC'd collector for this manifold and cutting this one off and welding the new one on. Solution...but not a quick solution. They are concerned for sure and do not want any negative press around their products so I will give them the time to get it right. This clearance issue is avoidable for sure and perhaps we may not need to get into much more. I'm still waiting on my hypertune manifold regardless and have lots of fabrication remaining.

But yes I believe the Greddy sump is below the cross member regardless of lowering an additional 1/2". I'll try to get pictures this week for you.

How about machining the head face of the manifold on a few degree angle to buy some space?

[HarrisRacing]

That was my first thought "I could just machine...". My second thought was, "Wait, THEY should machine..." I have a big problem paying $2k USD and then having to redo work I already paid for.

[BoostdR]

EFR 's are a looong turbo. Prob would be able to close the hood with a Garrett unit

[HarrisRacing]

Update. RAWBrokerage offered my money back and offered return shipping, which is extremely fair of them and I appreciate that. Stand up shop, I think they just barely missed the design (or fabrication of THIS particular manifold). I have sent a request to 6boost. If that doesn't go through I will be getting the welding machine fired up.

[HarrisRacing]

6boost on the way.

Kyle was very helpful, informative, and the price was right for sure.

Awesome, I'll be going with 6boost when I go single turbo as well!

[HarrisRacing]

Wow. This hypertune manifold is a work of art. Truly worth every penny. It's FAR lighter than the factory unit as well. I'll try to get some weight comparisons when I put it all together.

I'll get more pictures of it soon enough. In the meantime, this should give an idea of what to expect when you order one!

[WantGTR]

that is so rad. i want to get one just to look at it.

Fitting up the intake manifold. 6Boost shipped my turbo manifold this week so hopefully next-week's pictures will really be coming together.

AS you can see it is BIG. No way of making it to the stock intercooler piping, so more fab work there (which is OK because I need to remove the BOV piping down there anyway as I'm using the EFR internal BOV). I did have to remove the bracket at the rear that holds the clutch master cylinder vacuum line. I may use a straight check valve for the install when I re-route that line. And I "slightly" had to bend the clutch master cylinder hard line to get it past the plenum. Also there are no provisions for the Air temp sensor in this manifold, so I may have to weld some threaded collars to it.

Also should be noted that you need Z32 throttle cable. And it should be noted that it doesn't come with studs or fasteners to attach to the head (and for the money it really should).

enjoy.

[flowgoode]

That looks amazing! Keep up the good work and pictures!

Nice to see some australian parts going on.

You should be impressed with the 6 Boost for the price (especially with how strong your dollar is compared to ours). Kyle offers lifetime warranty on his manifolds too.

Any plans to go external wastegate in the future? Nothing better than an RB screaming at full song.

What fuel do you guys have available in the US, e85 ethanol?

Sorry for all the questions.

I do have E85 available about an hour away from me. Most of my buddies fill 55 gal drums when traveling around so there is a bit around for tuning and playing. I did see that haltech offers the ethanol kit and i'll likely go that way after my initial tuning.

Funny thing is the manifold arrived in the states...oh a couple thousand miles away from me. Apparently there was a mixup with my address. No worries the guy was kind enough to call me and ship it to me. I should have it this week and expect BIG updates next week as I get this thing together.

My plans are to keep the medium boost canister on the 8374 IWG for now and tune for pumpgas. Since this AND my on-board MAP sensor limit at ~22 psig I think it is a good stopping point until I get the E85 sensor ordered and plumbed, as well as swap out to larger injectors and fuel pump. After that I will start the E85 tuning in 10% increments until it is 100%. I bet it will be a frigging monster then. Lots of time before that point though as my plans are a fun street car and E85 still isn't very local yet.

No plans to externally gate. I would likely just go straight to 9180 EFR if that were the case OR if they start making an IWG hybrid with the .92 housing on the larger turbine wheel while keeping the same intake wheel (are you listening BW?!).

Flex Fuel tune ^_^

Haltech are very friendly for flex fuel.

[Piggaz]

Borg Warner do a 9174 now. Still sitting on the fence as to how that will go.

9180 with the 0.92 read IWG, soo much compressor for that small hot side.

You may have to bite the bullet and externally hate the gasses and go to a larger rear housing?

I wouldn't want a 9180, I would want an 8380. The 9180 has an 80mm turbine...it's a lot higher flow than the 74mm turbine even in the same AR housings (according to match-bot).

Basically the .92 IWG housing coupled with the larger 80mm turbine and their 83mm (exducer) compressor. According to match-bot, this combo would be higher flowing than even the 1.45 AR housing on the 74mm turbine. But then again, it may push the map to the point that the turbine simply wouldn't spool the compressor on low-end anyway so therefore going with the larger compressor may still be the best option.

[HarrisRacing]

FINALLY! Shippers lost my package for over a month. Long enough for Kyle at 6boost to build another and almost ship to me before it arrived at my doorstep unannounced.

So yes the 6boost manifold is a PERFECT fit in this setup! Incredible manifold. I love it!

To note, I am rerouting my PS return line from the rack, and I am making an AC line for this setup. I am not actually sure if the stock R32 AC line won't fit, but it was far easier to cut and have my guys fit up a new hose for me than to mess with it's location.

More updates will come quickly.

[IMACUL8]

awesome - love it!
