6boost Turbo Manifold Group Buy

[JPsNissans]

Just wanted to express my interest in being in the 2nd group buy. Can't wait to check out y'alls when they get stateside.

[Darius]

OUR MANIFOLDS ARE FINISHED!!!!

"Hey Matt, I emailed you last week about your manifold as well as a fewothers from the group buy, all manifolds are now finished and almost readyto package up and send out, however I haven't recieved replies from any ofyou, could you give me an update on things and if you still want thesemanifolds??

Regards........................Kyle"

[gawdzilla]

I really hope for the sake of the RB/240 community in the US that people who claimed they were "in" in this thread don't flake out on this. Seems to happen all too often with stereotypical 240 owners...

[Darius]

We have 3 in our current group buy, but I need you suckas to step up because I told him that we have several other people who wanted to see how the manifolds fit on the LHD s-chassis swap before buying. Therefore, keep saving your pennies and be ready to put the second order in sometime after Christmas. Kyle said he hired two other guys to help him and can turn an order out in two weeks. Just tell him that you are part of the "second group buy" with Matt and he'll know what you're talking about. Again, everyone will have to e-mail him individually to order.

I hope everything goes planned. I said from the beginning that I might not be able to and I still cant. 2nd group buy I'll def. get it if everything works out for you guys.

[fast_s14]

sent him an email

[RB_Seth]

I just emailed him too, trying to see if he got a finalized price with shipping figured out, thats the only thing i've been waiting on... If they are done now i'll pay when he gives me the price so i can have it asap and get some pics up!

[Sky80]

update? pics? its almost the end of jan.

[S12_hybrid]

If someone flakes out on this guy let us know, please! I personally would be in for jumping on one of these manifolds IN AN INSTANT. Also, we dont want to form more of a bad rep as cheap-asses, now do we?

-Dan

PS- Has he sized this for an S12 Gazelle (200sx) swap? I'm running an RB25det in an 200sx shell with about 1" between the turbo and the shock tower... Looking to run an HX35...

[Darius]

ha did anybody flake out? that's funny. only two of us bought manifolds and Kyle was cool enough to still extend us the group discount with the expectation that what he sent us would drum up business.

Update is that TNT completely F__KED up the shipping. It should have arrived by Christmas Eve (three days from AUS to Iowa), but there was a huge issue with them sitting on the packages and allowing them to go into gov't storage. Anyways, Kyle was really responsive throughout the entire thing.

Manifolds should show up on Tuesday January 29th is what they say. Pics to come although I doubt the thing will look very nice after sitting in a box for over a month in Los Angeles.

I'm sure he can fit up anything you want. He has a ton of experience and jigs laying around for different styles of manifolds. Just e-mail him and tell him what you want.

[bumblebtuna]

damn darius, can't wait till you get yours in i may use my tax return on one

[RB_Seth]

Really?? The 29th?? Milton still hasn't given me any update other than what i already emailed you... I gotta call that little f*ckbag... Kyle has been awesome to deal with tho, can't wait to get my manifold!

[Darius]

Milton told me Friday afternoon that he had spoken with you and his manager and that they were going to go ahead and request that TNT-australia pay for the storage charge and that they would probably get our packages sent out Monday and they'd arrive next day. Unless he is feeding me a line of $hit like he has been for a month now. Wouldn't surprise me.

[ripracer]

Well I hope your manis arrive today and you have the time to start fitting them soon. I didn't take the time to read through the whole thread but definitely looks like I would be interested and if I don't have the money I'll just put it on a credit card.As for fitment, well if it hits something, cut that something out. I would like to make a strictly race 240 like the s14 track slut on zilvia. Soon as I get moved into my house next week and we see what tax returns bring.

[Darius]

I was told that I am getting my manifold tomorrow and Seth is to get his later in the week. I don't know why there is a difference, but it is TNT.

Anyways, I am planning on getting some pics up on this thread and then organizing a second group buy if that is okay with Eikon and AZhitman. Otherwise, if you don't want to wait for the discount, e-mail [email protected] and tell him what you want.

[nizmo zilvia]

Im sure everyone wants to know how the fitment will be before they decide to get it. I'm curious on how it turned out and the quality of the build (feed back from you guys). Cause we all know that sometimes pics dont do justice.

[Eikon]

I don't have an issue with doing another group buy as long as everyone involved in the first is happy with how everything turned out.

Let's get some pictures, reviews, and feedback from the guys who got one from the first run. That will not only cement the legitimacy of the seller and the product, but obviously drum up more interest in future offerings.

I'm right there with both of you guys. I went with the forward-positioned manifold and I believe Seth went with the standard, center-positioned manifold, so we should have a good representation of what can be expected from him with regard to fitment and build quality. Tomorrow is the big day, so I'll post pics up tomorrow night assuming my gf is home to accept the package. Otherwise, I will drive to UPS to pick it up in person tomorrow night.

I'll say it myself: Pics or

you just better hope UPS doesn't leave the box at the front step. what's your address btw! lol

[Coolwhip]

Even that, the UPS guy has his price $20 goes a long way especially bumming off an "unknown" package.

[avendi]

Oh my god the suspense is killing me and I just read this thread. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Perhaps I'll jump in on an order if everything turns out good.

[Darius]

The manifold finally arrived this morning before Boostsfed and Coolwhip could snatch it. I had the gf take some pics of it real quick. For being steel and sitting around for a month untouched, it looks pretty good! I will let the pictures do the talking:

I will hopefully get it on the head and slap the turbo on it tonight to see how it fits and take some more pics and post them. Then, if all goes well, I will start up another thread for those who are interested in jumping in on the second group buy.

Sweet wrap job!

Fi-Freaking-Inally!

Can't wait to see how it works out for ya Darius! What WG are you using?

[Darius]

Haven't decided yet, but I'm thinking of going with a 44mm Tial v-band. Anyone with other suggestions?

[cdorhout]

Wow, looks nice. Is that a ceramic coating on it? or just high temp powdercoat?

That turbo is gonna be really forward which will look badass. I hope you have room for piping and maf.

[Darius]

I don't know because I haven't seen it in person. I didn't ask for the ceramic coating because I still have to get the WG flange welded to it. Come over tonight after work and you can gawk at it.

[nizmo zilvia]

I had no idea that this was forward mounted. Hahaha sweet!

[RB_Seth]

i was going to get a center mounted turbine, but changed my mind AGAIN and went with a forward mounted T4 flanged manifold... I upped my goals like i figured it would lol ...actually i found a deal on an rb26 so i may even change that LOL I'm never happy My manifold should be here fairly soon, I'll be happy for a while then

[REDLN]

dang bout time daruis now where are the pics with it on the head with a turbo on the side? but the mani by itself looks yum yum

[BoostFab]

mount that sucker; i want to see how the turbo sits on the other hand, it's looking it's made off mild-steel, and coated outside only. mild steel are known not to last that long for turbo manifold.
