I had a .63 A/R stage 1 t3/t04e 50 trim. It was rad. Still is rad. Full-Race manifold is one of the nicest things I have ever seen, it is pure sex, and EVERY LAST PENNY is worth it. Until you compare the 2 side-by-side, you'll never understand. Megan manifolds? Hah. You guys are funny.


Anywyas, on top of a turbo (if top mount, then add cost of manifold), you need 550+ (more like 740cc) injectors, Z32 MAFS (or D-Jetro), boost controller (Profec B spec 1 or spec S) a ROM tune ecu (RSEnthalpy) or other engine management (PFC, F-CON, AEM, Haltech) big FMIC, piping, exhaust, wastegate (HIGHLY reccomend ext wastegate for 300+ hp), Good cooling both oil and water (temps go UP with a big turbo and all that exhaust), cams, throttle body, intake mani, forged pistons (CP 9.0:1 or 8.5:1), rod bolts, new bearings, head studs, head gasket (Apex 1.1), light flywheel, strong clutch (RPS Max, Exedy Hyper Single, etc), good condition tranny, good motor mounts, t-bolt clamps to be sure of no blow-offs or leaks, V-band exhaust housing on turbo if you are baller cause 5 bolt flanges SUCK ASS. 4 bolt is ok, but not every manufacturer makes turbo housings in 4-bolt.


Yeah, honestly, i had around 8k+ in my setup. Sure, i focused on drifting abuse and thus reliabilty, a good compromise between top end and response, and a rock-solid setup that never had any problems (aside from the cracked manifold) and you COULD do it for much cheaper, but trust me, it wont be problem-free and you'll end up spending more once you realize what you need to do.

doriftoslut could not have put it better.. you go cheap and you can as mentioed but you'll pay for it shortly by double.. when you could have done it right the first time.. HP aint cheap! :-)

if it cracks i will tig it back i can weld no need to replace it...
i know of course i wil need a fmic maf etc sorry i was just refering to the turbo prices to me seem way high for the gt28rs etc so is the jwe or jw something the best way to go when tuning the ecu ?

I have a friend here in Indiana who put down over 500whp on a SSAutoChrome Manifold, it was reworked and welded, but there was in no-way shape or form a ton of money involved in re-working it. Alot of people I know are rocking the Megan Manifolds and are very happy as well. If youve worked on cars, Im sure you or someone you know can rework a manifold.

Not saying that this is better then a FullRace mani, I am only saying that there are alot of people out there who have done this and have had positive results.
