it will be interesting to see the results, as these are two completely different manifold designs
RnR is a 4->1->2->1
Full Race is a 4->2->1
RnR uses a 1.61" diameter Primary
Full Race uses a smaller diameter Primary
Both have somewhat similar runner lengths and comparable merge collector entry angles.
Overall -- two totally different manifolds, should result in two totally different powerbands. Im very excited to see the results, it should answer a lot of questions in my mind.
edit: Out of curiosity, has there ever been a test of a cast unported manifold vs a cast ported manifold?

He has not done a straight ported/non-ported exhaust mani only comparison though, I don't think.

That turbine housing alone will cause significant restriction, later spool, increased pressure drop and turbulance in the volute as compared to a standard GT series tangential T3 turbine housing... definately not ideal

oic interesting. maybe that wont be a good idea then. maybe i'll just stick with a TME turbo then.

i might just get ur Manifold with a TME 6.5 turbo. im looking for a street, auto-X, Road Track Setup. im done with HIGHWAY stuff, i did it with the civic and i would like to take advantage of the AWD!
Geoff u wanna PM with a setup u think would work nice?

right now there are a lot of turbos and manifolds with questionable gains. Wait it out, in a few weeks there will be a lot of questions answered.

Geoff, are these things ready to go for purchase?
