Thought Id make 2 topics, but I think it can be summed up in one.

1. anyone pay attention to Ken Nomuras 4 door skyline blitz in D1? well they re-did (might be new car according to Option), but watching the video he is still running the rb25 but with the rb26 intake manifold. He used to run the stock over the top. Any thoughts how hard or how we could mate it up to the rb25 head?

2. I know SS have been known to be awful with the SRs. Anyone try them on the sixshooters? or any other car for that matter?

Just seems like it would be nice, but I guess the golden rule is: you get what you pay for.

I don't know about the quality of the SS manifolds, but I definitely don't like the wategate placement of the RB25 manifold. Their 26 manifold is better designed.

I like the 26 manifolds that are designed for the twins. I wouldn't go with any of the manifolds made for a single turbo.. there's no braceing for the weight of the turbo. Of course you could make your own, but I wonder if it would even be worth it. It might help, but then you might get a crack somewhere else and it would turn into a nightmare.
