There are so many fabricators popping up all around NZ its not funny, there is some serious competition out there! Most of the stuff its not to bad quality as well.

for that price I would give it a go regardless haha.

I built up a drift car for my mate before I moved to oz, He brought a cheap stainless steel manifold to use on the RB25det i had to adapt it to fit his master power T70 and wastegate and heaps of other fab work but basically after over a year of some competitive drifting its still holding up strong. Even Jake Jones couldn't shake the beast to bits lol

Sometimes cheap stuff may look crappy but will surprise you how long it lasts.

chiming in on this.. I installed this on a freinds s13 SR and it has gotten the thumbs up from MRC and Rigoli.. Still waiting on a proper power run but is going well

edit: forgot to mention this was originally a non ext gate manifold. We drilled the merge collector and made our own ext gate point at a 45 degree angle

Hi there,

First of all i would like to introduce my self, My name is kam and i am also the owner of hybrid performance, www.hybridperformance.co.nz , we supply the manifolds mentioned and we have launched our new website , We are based in Auckland new Zealand and we specialise in Mild steel Manifolds and Turbo chargers ( non of that cheap junk going a round )

If you require any help or info or pictures please let me know and i will post it up,

We can also modify the Wastegate port according to what size you want but an extra cost will be charged,

Manifolds are in stock and ready to dispatch and we have customers world wide :)

I would also like to mention the link for Trade Me listed is not us and is one of the companies we supply to. It is cheaper to go directly through us but you are more than welcome to purchase from our suppliers too.

If any one can tell us how we can post up as a sponsor on the site we would like to offer the club some discount

Kind regards

Kam

Kam, Welcome aboard matey. As you have read here it was me that started this post. I am skylinefeb75 on ebay too. Your RB26 Manifolds are it would appear the dogs bollocks. I would like to order one with wastegate pipework to suit my Greddy 4 bolt wastegate if thats possible? Please drop me a message with your email addy in it and ill drop you a line. These manifolds would go a bomb on the GTROC and Skyline owners forums too.....I am more than prepared to introduce you as ive been a member on the GTROC for nearly 8 years now.

Can someone confirm what sized wastegate an "off the Shelf" RB26 6boost manifold comes designed for? Am I worrying the 38mm is too small for no reason???? What do you think guys??

Sorry Andy, I don't have any pics of the collector. It's much better then some of the stuff I've seen in the same price range though :)

my mate bought one of ebay, works great ran 280RWKW on 17psi on a GTX3076R had it for months no issues dam good buy and my track car will get one.... + 1 Kam good product i was very impressed and i am a brand whore lol

Kyle from 6boost usually reccomends larger gates for his manifolds (60mm for most seups) due to the design of the collector. 38mm is fine for most setups, the only time it'll become a problem is when trying to run really low boost with a largish turbo

Yep, told me 50mm minimum but i am going to try a 44mm Tial and see what happens....

The size of the wastegate required depends on

1. The capacity of the turbo (more capacity bigger w/g)

2. The amount of boost you are going to run (more boost smaller w/g)

3. The position of the wastegate in relation to the collector and turbo ( try to give w/g priority)

I have a 50mm wastegate coming straight off the housing of my GT3540:

Battery, Im not doubting this is an ebay manifold but I think Kam should post a pic of his collectors up as i certainly would not be putting that mess anywhere near my engine. Kam?????????

    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
