Put my Boost Designs equal length manifold on - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

well, i got my Boost Designs manifold along with their 3" downpipe. So far, I am pretty impressed with it. The bolts on the manifold were easy to access with a wrench. The oil lines were easy to route. The placement of the flange on top of the manifold for mounting the turbo is perfect. You could pretty much run any t3/t04e turbo with it. i had a professional TIG welder that welds in nuclear power plants look at it. he told me that "someone knew what they are doing." The porting of the manifold near the head flange is nicely done.

i am now running and open wastegate setup and open downpipe since before the FMax manifold was provisioned to recirculate the exhaust out of the wastegate. Even though my turbo sits alot higher compared to my previous side mount FMax log manifold, I didnt have to cut any intercooler or intake pipes. I was able to clock the turbo just a hair and everything fits just fine with my previous piping and routing.

the turbine housing clears just fine considering mine is bigger than most t3 housings. i also have a inconel heatshield which closes up the gap as well. expect more clearance of the master cylinder with a .48 ar or .63 ar turbonetics or garret 5 bolt turbine housing.

the car is so fast now. everyone says with a equal length that the low end will be hurt alot more. well, somehow there's better transient response and alot more torque around 3000 rpms. I can cruise around 35-40 mph in second gear and it just literally scoots the car sideways. the high end is completely sick now.

good job Boost Designs. Top-Mount setups are so much more aggressive looking. you wouldnt believe how the car sounds now. its like a screaming diesel truck!

now, here's the pics.
dyno, track and along with charts, slips and video footage comming soon!

I am just wondering who is calling this manifold and equal lenght. It is CLEARLY not equal length. Is it you or Boost Designs that is lableing it that way?
