Artec vs 6boost manifold

[tofski]

I'm currently trying to decide between the artec or 6 boost manifold

Has anybody had experience with the artec with a g42 or larger turbo? 

I have maxed out my low mount custom with my g42 1450 turbo and trying to choose a replacement between these 2. 

If there is any other recommendations that would be great to.

 

Thanks

all of those sorts of things in the aftermarket only really survive if they're excellent... just go with whatever you think is best value for your application.

I can see both are good products but not much info on the artec apart from 1 member on here running a efr turbo with good results . That said that is basically a 35 frame turbo .

Just wondering how they perform with a 42 frame strapped to it and if it will choke it up with the shorter runners  .

On the other hand 6 Boost and other long runner manifolds have been proven many times over to do the job.

Sounds like you've made your mind up on the 6boost...

How’d the 6 boost go? Artec looks half alright also, seen stainless ones now too

@Vigilance99my efr has a t4 split pulse flange 1.05 a/r housing, its not small, compressor wheel is 67mm inducer and 91 exducer, 900hp turbo, im getting 10psi at 2500rpm and 17-18 at 3500 I think, its a great road turbo with gobs of torque down low and minimal lag. My Artec has a warped flange at the moment and im trying to get Artec to replace it. Check my posts.

 

@tofski did you get a 6 boost? check my above post.

Yeah got a 6boost setup , 1 came up for sale second hand  with everything I needed  to suit so I snapped it up  .Haven't put it on yet .

I have a custom low mount atm and  with the g42-1450 and maxed @ 720kw but back pressure is too much , it was perfect for g40-1150 I had on it as it made 25 psi by @3400rpm as it was designed for that turbo ,that doesn't matter as I have a big converter now hence going bigger turbo

Your artec looks  like its perfect for the 900hp turbo   yr running , won't have thought that the cast flange would have warped though , that sucks

Sounds mint, what efr turbs you running?

@tofski @Vigilance99 efr9174, the 91 is conpressor exd big side and the 74 is turbine 74mm exducer, that's the small side of turbine.

@tofski yea it sucks alright, I didnt check it for flatness when I got it, it may have been warped from new. Are you building a drag monster? That is insane power you have. Was it a full custom manifold you have or a j pipe off the stock nanifold? I was thinking of cutting off t3 flange off stock manifold and getting a t4 split flange welded on but clearances looked a bit tricky. Then this Artec came up cheap. Pretty certain retailer didnt know there was anything wrong with it. They just wanted to cash up and get stock gone. I hope if Artec give me another one it is identical because if not il have to do fab adjustments which is never fun. Otherwise il go 6 boost or sinco and have to remake everything.
