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.

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.

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.

      Rb25det Belts Change

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.

      This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.

      Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.

      This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.

      I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
