PM sent NYTSKY.

Friday is the cut off people. Maybe monday if your lucky :(

Deposit paid.

Getting manifold

Wastegate plumbed straight off the housing of the turbo

And ceramicoating

:)

Hey,

Thats odd... I just text him and he told me low mount is stock location... He will be on here to reply a post soon, just keep an eye out

did you ever find out.

I'm trying to reserve a spot for an rb26 stock position low mount ceramic coated manifold.

but not having any luck raising anyone, just for the record. If I can get a PM confirming a spot,

a price, and how/who to pay I'd pay.

Does anyone know if you can run the standard intercooler pipes with the rb25 low mount setup

Also with the low mount/external gate setup, where abouts does the external gate usually go

Mike.

Hi All,

Sorry for my late reply, I flew to sydney for the weekend to help my sister move.

To answer some questions:

1: I cannot do stock position low mount manifolds for RB20/25. There is simply NO room for a manifold, if anyone has ever back to back tested those cheap stainless manifolds, they actually spool later and make same or less power in my experience. I have seen this on 2 cars, one with standard hiflow, the other GT35. The problem is room, the turbo points straight at the engine, and is about 2" from the head face. Just not doable to any decent standard. Sorry:(

2: My RB26 low mount manifolds are standard position, I have done many of them, and never had a single car have "surge issues" without a balance pipe. I don't have time to go into massive detail right now about it, but there is absolutely no need for a balance pipe. If anything, its the worst thing you could do for spool and HP. Think of a divided manifold and turbo, your trying to use pulse tuning by keeping the gasses divided all the way to the turbo, similarly to a twin turbo on a 6, front 3 runners go to one turbo, the back 3 to the other. Running a balance pipe would be like drilling a hole clean thru the divider in the split manifold. Compressor surge happens when the turbo's are trying to flow more air into the engine than it can consume at that RPM and load point. So how the hell is running a balance pipe between 2 manifolds suddenly going to make the engine flow more air so it no longer compressor surges?? It can't, and won't, and if anything, IMO would actually make it worse due to poorer pulse tuning.

If anyone has back to back tested them and found the opposite, I'd love to hear from you. Otherwise my point remains. Another thing is that the other manufacturers don't use merge collectors. While you might think they look all neat and free flowing, we did a manifold for Rob Baraks Evo3, which had a VERY similar design manifold to those low mount 26 manifolds, and by changing to my manifold, picked up 380rpm of spool (huge) and 31kw at all 4. The air hits the turbine so efficiently and with such velocity with a merge collector that I would find it hard for the air from one turbo to effect the other.

3: All my manifolds are designed to suit 3 litre bottom ends. Regardless of what you order, be it RB20 or 25, it will still sit low enough that if you went to a 3 litre bottom end you would have ample bonnet clearance. I own a R32 skyline myself with a 26/30 in it and this was used to jig up most manifolds. We can fit anything from a T28 all the way up to a GT55 under the bonnet, with anything in between.

If anyone has any specific questions, please email me directly at [email protected], and I will reply in more detail there. Please make your order here with Leon tho as I appreciate his efforts to start and run the group buy and taking one payment from him for all goods will make life a lot easier.

Kind regards,

Kyle

Forget balance pipes, guys, and whatever you do, don't compare a properly designed merge-collector manifold to a chinese P.O.S. in stainless.

If you need to know what a poorly designed manifold can do to your engine, ask me to send you through the bill for my engine rebuild.

And everybody in the group buy needs to tell me what turbo and gate they are running, not just high/external, as I could build everything from a T28 high mount with a 38mm gate for a RB26 up to a GT55 high mount with 60mm gate. So please give Leon details of what flange/turbo you want to run and what size gate. I recommend minimum 44mm and if you haven't purchased a gate yet, the new turbosmart 50mm. If you need gates with manifold contact Leon about arranging one with your manifold from me at cost price.

Thanks Kyle for that info. Again here is the bank details.... Ill send out a group PM to everyone who was already put down a deposit and another one to the fellows who are waiting on answers, just to let you know that kyle is now available to help, as im just a customer not a manifold expert :P

If interested full payment is needed by FRIDAY so i can get the moneys off to kyle to get there babies ordered

I'm out, sorry.

Stock position would be nice (and cheap), but just out of interest, how much would a custom dump and front pipe be?

Cheers

Could possible still use standard dump just might need custom front pipe. But may also need to modify cooler hoses and intake pipe. Maximum $500 from my local mechanic... dont know about yours though

Kyle, a few questions

1) What is the largest turbo you can run for a low mount RB25/30? im not worried about keeping factory location, only want low mount.

2) I run a 3L bottom end, but the block wasnt ground flat on the exhaust side where it bolts to the head, so my standard manifold fouled (ended up having to grind 5-10mm off the flange) Will your manifolds bolt up without any problems?

    • Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.
    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 😪 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
