LoveFab equal length RB25 manifold

[Darius]

yeah you're probably right. it might also make full-race drop their price to compete for the small and select market.

[S14-NEO]

man i am soooooooo freakin ready for this manifold to get done... i wanna be first in line..hehe...

[Sky80]

The setup in my sig is available right now

sorry man i just cant justify spending 1200 on a manifold that is so in-efficent... ill stick to the stocker for now

on another note, bump for this manifold to hurry and come out! too bad i know there is no way they will come out with this by the end of october, hell november for that matter either!

[gawdzilla]

i've already got a manifold solution since this took so long, but i hope cody utilizes my old rb26 stock manifolds i mailed him and makes the manifold he produces dual flanged for the sake of his rb26 sales...

c'mon guys, Phase2 has a peak performance mani, that I've had on my 89 240 for about 6 months now. I think I paid like $800, but I also got a PFC and other goodies from them at the same time. I'm also running a Gt4094r on top of it. That was my only thing with this mani, it only came t4 flanged when I ordered it. But I was gonna put a monster on it anyway. So if you're looking for around 1K for a mani that IMO looks almost identical to the full race, Phase2's the place to check out.

[Darius]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. The peak performance is nowhere near the quality and tuning of the full-race manifold.

Is this Phase2 peak performance manifold for the 26 or just the 25 like most I see advertised on the net?

Got any installed pics??

i could do $1200 on a love fab manifold. maybe $1300. but im not spending anymore than that.

its just frustrating how cheap the SR guys have it.

c'mon titty, i mean manifold...

I feel ya. I see all the KA and SR parts for half of what the RB parts are going for and it pisses me right off. Seriously, the full-race honda manifolds are like $1000 and the RB is $2300? WTF? Like it costd that much more to design it, tune it and build it than a frickin 4 cylinder bank? Jewish if you ask me.

If this lovefab manifold turns out to be a bust, I'll be more than happy with a peak performance unequal length runner setup with a divorced T4 flange.

I've been thinking on trying out a single set up myself. Can you hook me up with a link to this "peak performance" manifold?

[Abdo]

If they only want 1,200 - 1,300 for that manifold, I bet they didn't lose a customer.

I bet we could set up some sort of group buy and get a price like that from Full-Race.

I know there are about a dozen people who would jump on a full-race group buy from NICO alone. Andy (booztd3) was one of their guinea pigs on the manifold, if I remember that right, so maybe he can hook us up.

[NightKids2]

Sorry if this is a noob question, but why do those manifolds run two wastegates? You have to pay 2,300 dollars for a manifold, another 1400 at least for a turbo, and then pay for two waste gates on top of that?

Eff that. Is there some benefit for running two waste gates on one turbo?

[Abdo]

+1 for peak performance manifold, looks like good stuff for the price.

[Adrian gt]

any chance of getting it in black ceramic rather than chrome?

The basic rule of thumb for wastegate sizing is 1mm/hp (correct me if I'm off). So, if you're looking to get 650-1000 hp, it will be hard to fit a single huge gate and its response won't be as good as two smaller gates.

Adrian gt - I'm sure if you wanted to coat the peak-performance manifold, you could bring it to any high-temp ceramic coating shop and get it painted black.

[Abdo]

Darius, I saw your video on YouTube, good stuff.

[gawdzilla]

someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i seriously doubt PP is making their own manifold. looks like a barely modded SSAC with some bracing and the wastegate flange cut off. that for an extra $850?

I agree that they look very similar, but I don't think the SSAC manifolds are divided. I think the runners come into one common collector and have a single tube on the side for the wastegate. The SSAC's that I have seen come with a single T4 outlet. I think the peak-performance setup is as good as you'll get without getting an equal-length manifold.

Abdo - thanks. I don't have any other in-car video, which I should have been banned for by now, but I will get some next spring .

[eh?]

I'd be down for that price but don't think it's gonna happen.

[Abdo]

Yeah, I'm willing to throw in that amount of money as well. Lets start another thread called Full-Race group buy just to see how many people would purchase the manifold at that low price. Once we have done that, we can talk to Full-Race and see what their thoughts are on this situation. What will happen is either: A) We will all get super-cheap Full-Race manifolds and live happily ever after. Or B) The guys over at Full-Race will laugh their asses off at our demeaning request and we will get fooked over in the ayss.

Darius: Man I hear ya. The only video I've got is the startup, I didn't even give the viewers a rev, let alone drive the car on video. But I will surely do that once I get the RB to run right.

We should also start another thread, Darius for not having an extensive-enough video collection for the pleasure of the NICO Club members.

My car is at Love Fab right now being worked on...Might be ready in a coulpe of weeks to start taking orders....I'll put pics up shortly...but I'm starting a new thread.
