Rb25 High Mt Manifold?

[RedDrifter]

I bought one from ssautocrome.

Plenty of support brackets and its seemed to have good quality welds etc.

No crap inside of the unit and I no trouble intalling it.

Has anyone else got one of these?

Cost me a little under 500 delivered with a split dup aswell.

Does anyone know much about this company at all.

You got a link to the product?

my two cents.

they are all shit. thin wall 304 brittle shit. (in my opinion) i have witnessed many combos.

but they are "racing" items wich are ment to be replaced each season.

no intension to ofend anyone.

i had my ebay/xforce one ceramic coated in and out to keep the heat out of it.

all those gcg/ebay ect have runners way to big.

the jap ones are the same. for some reason they all use very big runners for max hp. they seem to forget that most of us only want 5-600hp.

on a 26 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" internal daiametre runners is perfect.

on a 20-25 1 1/4" would be perfect.

you have to rembember that the manifold isnt the restriction but the exhaust housing.

i only bought one because i couldnt be botherd to make another custom one.

i still have the scars on my hands.

but for 300 bucks you cant go wrong.

ps. whats with the chineese t4 pattern that is half way between t3 and t4? the ports line up but the bolt spacing is WAY off.

We all know the quality is crap but has anyone actually had one crack? Anyone with pics to prove it?

The flange bolts didn't even line up on mine but then again it was only $90 USD

Well I noticed a crack on mine just 2 days ago.

Its right at the top of th manifold so I'm lucky it doesn't need to come off the car.(Very minor hiarline crack)

Engineering workshop said it will be a peice of cake to fix using a tig.

When I get a new turbo some time next year I think I'll take the advice from T04GTR and get it ceramic coated in and out wile the turbo is off.
