Finally got mine.

Everything looks great so far. I remember a lot of people wondering about A/C fitment, and I'll have that answer shortly. Here is a picture of the setup that is being replaced. I already started taking it apart, so bare with the messy engine bay.

I'll keep this thread updated as I go.

wow, just plain sick. how much 4 the setup if you don't mind me asking?

*GSXRJJordan* · 09-11-2009, 10:48 PM

Looks sexy as hell. New tiny Tial wastegates for easy fitment, love it! Also curious how much you spent, and is that the 3071/76 or 3582?

Geno750 · 09-12-2009, 12:32 AM

Its the 3076r. I don't even what to think about how much this ended up costing me. It was north of $2000 though.

All I have to say is yay for buying a lot of Bank of America shares when it was down below $5 a share several months ago.

Wow, thats beautiful!!

If you're anywhere near $2000 for the turbo, wastegates, and mani, you've gotten a screaming deal.

If you're over $2k for just the manifold, I'd want something that says "FULL RACE" on the side lol.

Why when this one fits better???

Lifetime warranty mostly, reputation, but also bling/fanboy status. I'm guessing the Powerlab mani is much cheaper though.

I'm only asking because I'd really love a twin-scroll mani for the RB25 that's as nice as the Full Race for a more 'reasonable' cost.

Geno750 · 09-12-2009, 07:31 AM

PowerLab's warranty is the same as Full-Race's warranty on the manifold. The manifold, wastegates, and the elbow/dump tubes was what I was talking about when people asked about price.

Also, the car this is all going into is a 95 180sx, so fanboy status is covered.

Haha, excellent! That's definitely a better deal than Full Race, I can't wait to see fitment in the car!

They're actually about the same price...

Those wastegates are ~$250/ea, so $2k including wastegates and dump tubes is cheaper than Full Race, right?

Anyway, looks dope, might have to talk to them about a twin scroll RB mani.

*S14_Kouki* · 09-12-2009, 09:07 PM

I know whats cheaper then full race

For the most part, yes.

Geno750 · 10-18-2009, 02:38 PM

I've been super busy lately, but I finally had some free time to get started on the car.

The manifold DOES clear A/C just fine, but the dipstick will need to be bent.

The dump tubes also clear the side of the chassis with enough space to route the lines, you will just have to have the lines right up against the body of the car. Every inch of space is needed to put distance between the A/C lines and the dump tubes, and the manifold.

*Om1kron* · 10-18-2009, 04:10 PM

going to need mad thermal wrap on them ac lines lol.

Definitely, I'll be wrapping the manifold and the lines in the area. Luckily I ordered WAAAY to much of that stuff when setting up a 13B to be used in an airplane, so I've got a lot left.
