Guys

Finally after 2 months I got the full-race twin-scroll twin-divided manifold. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves on this one....









Then I took the turbo and the wastegates and fitted them up. Everything looks good to go!









I will hopefully have it fitted up on the motor sometime this week to see how the fitment is in the car

looks awesome, would you say its worth all $2300 though? more than a lot of motorsets for just a manifold

i think you're probably the first person outside of full-race to own one of the RB manifolds, haha.

Um, Wow. Very sick, how much does one of those run price wise if you dont mind? Also, do they have one for the 25?

The price is actually 2400, however I am a dealer for them so I get a bit of a break. Regarding the price for the manifold, in this business you get what you pay for, and especially with me putting this all in a Z32, they said they'll make any revisions needed for the manifold to fit. I'd like to try and get greddy/HKS to help me out like that!

This is a prototype manifold but all of the rest of the ones that go into production are flanged for the RB26 AND RB25

I can appreciate the time it took to get that thing together--I do allot of fab work and it is definitely worth the 2g's if your the one behind the Tig. I'm more and more impressed with full race everytime I see something they put out.

That manifold looks sexier then my Full-Race SR manifold. Must be cause of it's size that makes it look better .

P.S. Damn Vonage commercials!

But, Guitar Hero FTMFW!! Hahaha.

That manifold looks amazing, but like has been stated most of us will only dream of putting one on our motors.

I'm trying I'm trying guys. I have been at home in bed and on the couch for the last two days with a nasty cold and a 101 degree temp. As much as I want to get this stuff together, me feeling like a big steamy pile o' crap doesnt help! lol

I feel a little better today and I'm going to try and make it down to the shop where the car is currently at (about an hour away) We've got to pull the motor out for some final welding on the mounts, I'll probably bolt the manifold and stuff on then.....

Lol 2nd! I played that game (both actually) non-stop after my g/f got them for me for christmas. I beat them both on hard and then got some of the way through expert and was like f-this, I dont have the time!

Regarding affording the manifold, dont sweat it. Seems like some of you guys are making great power with what setups you've put together and thats awesome.

Well I would say its a RACE manifold.Not a street one.

Not everyone goes and gets a Wilson intake Manifold. BIG $$$$

I think they should come out with a little less expensive one and they could probably actually sell some of their manifolds to the RB people.

What kind of turbo are you using and what brand and size wastegates are those.

I've seen very similar quality for way less of a price.. actually about half to less than half. Its an awesome piece but that price tag is insane. Like Carl said... it better come with something that sucks and ****s.

guy I know here in phx has an RB25 manifold from full race. God damn that mofo weighs a grip. I'm talking super heavy.... I honestly don't understand why they use the stock they use. I used to work for a porsche fab company Mode Inc and both manifolds for a single turbo application with wastegate weighed as much as the turbo. Stainless piping and all. I don't fuggin get it. Weight doesn't make it tough. Materials do...

We use high quality stainless schedule 40 forged piping for most if not all turbo manifolds. The mass is greater than an equivalent thin wall turbo manifold, but the life expectancy of the thick wall manifold is much longer. It's just a compromise really.

BTW nice swap in the Z32
