Just google image Rex Kelway manifold.

I currently run his low mount manifold on my SR but getting him to make a high mount T3 external gate manifold in the next couple weeks.

i forgot we gave a shit about SR manifolds..

Forgot I gave a f*ck about you, ya clown.

He was talking about SR manifolds!

But hey, if all you can afford is these manifolds, go for it. I know Id spend the little extra for a lot better quality.

How is it that the SR manifold is fkn rubbish and if I got something like that I would throw it into the Tasman but the RB manifold just above looks half ok

cause SR's are useless junk like 1J's :P

and I have found a few rex kelway manifolds for rb's but have no idea how to get in touch with him, but this isnt the thread for it..

Keep up the good work Kam, If I can ever go highmount ill be sure to look here

i thought you were cool man :down:

too many haters in this thread. period.

lol my easter will be spent stripping a 180 back to stock from a built motor with a 3071r.. Im not even being paid so fark the farking SR :rant:

clown? haha.. go away with your shit sr and your kelway manifold mate no1 gives a shit. go hate on manifolds in a different thread u big high roller.

lol an hours work man, i am the SR specialisto'

why does everyone keep comparing this guys manifold to others that are 4x the price or more... its like nobody can appreciate a bargain.

if i were crans id be stoked with that manifold, and laughing at people who paid 4x that

+1. Pending results they look like great value so far, i'd certainly be keen if i was looking for a high mount manifold.

Stoked with a manifold that's no better than a cheap china stainless item. IMO these look really bad and I wouldn't use one if I was given it but that's my opinion.

Why are you guys using them beside being cheap?The only gain I see you getting is being able to say you have a steam pipe manifold but NOT a quality built manifold!

Now sits back and awaits the b*tching instead of people listening to an opinion with out taking offense!

look champ, everyone knows the china SS actually do a decent job. the problem is not their performance, its their strength.

if you can buy a decent manifold that will work and wont break for a good price, why not?

the man is selling his product for what it is. hes not trying to sell a T4 TS manifold that will out perform the competition.. making an open frame housing is no secret science,especially at the 300kw most people will use these for. let it go.

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
