The benefits you gain from this are so outweighed by losing powersteering it's not even worth talking about.

Want to design something that doesn't eliminate factory stuff, then you'll get praise, until then you're just a dude that welded another mani. Not even equal length runners and your praising efficiency...how about no. I gave you more then you deserved when I said it was a nice manifold. What you have are quality welds in a package that fits basically no one. Have fun selling something no one wants...

And this is why i'm so happy to be part of the not going anywhere fast KAT scene....

Hah the ka-t scene is blowing up dude, its bigger than its ever been.

I know its gotta suck sitting on that awesome manifold and not being able to even have someone steal it from you. But the reasons your having such a hard time selling are all listed here. In addition this economy is in a bad state.

If i wasnt a fab guy myself i would pick this up because eventually i want a filled block drag Ka-T running MS2 w/ ford EDIS. This seriously is a great deal for anyone looking to build a drag 240, but honestly dude, there arnt many people who are. You should try selling it on all the nissan FS sites, you might have better luck somewhere else. I havnt seen it on the .Org fs, you should try there and the Z forum.

lol very true. It's on .org's fs but i haven't bumped it in a while. I knew it wouldn't be very easy to sell but i didn't make it with the intent to sell. **** happened and now i have the choice to sell it or let it sit on my desk as a paper weight. Unfortunately, it's not going to work with my new car.

very nice manifold, but i dont see the reason for the 2 wastegates. I have a single Old school tial 35mm wastegate and i can get as low as 5 psi with not a single bit of boost creep no matter what gear or rpm im at. Unless there is something that i dont understand, help me out here.

Some people like that set up.I personally are not a big fan of double things the more parts the more trouble.

Its a very basic idea here guys.. For a true twin scroll, you have to have the exhaust completely separated from each other between 1-4 and 2-3. To do this, you have to run two wastegates because 1-4's gases and 2-3's should never interact. If you just run one wastegate your defeating the purpose of a twin scroll manifold. It still will have SOME of the benefits but not as much as a true twin scroll design.

For this reason, the Full Race manifold bothers me. Its a great manifold dont get me wrong, but i cant believe they wouldnt take the time to make it a true twin scroll. Maybe the money is just not there, idk.
