Currently pricing up a single turbo build for my fd, looking at all the options for parts out there and have ofcourse come across the full race and turblown manifolds, but at over 1600 nzd for just the manifold, it would be the most expensive part on the whole ******* car so its not really an option for me.

Anyways, ive come across this manifold on ebay and it seems better than the average Chinese rubbish, im curious if anyone has used this or knows much about them.

I can speak from pulling off multiple cheap kits exactly like that on FD's, that you'll spend the money at some point no matter what. Leaks, cracking, poor boost control. Things you don't think really matter untill they're in your face. I'd highly recommend buying a good manifold and downpipe. It may seem biased coming from us, but it really is the truth.

 

actually came across your manifolds right before i saw this one haha, craftsmanship looks really really good - i might have to bite the bullet in the end but im just trying to stretch my budget as much as possible at the moment

 

Thanks, appreciate it. Happy to quote you and get you hooked up price wise. Whether or not it's us does not matter to me, just want to see you not have issues with a junk manifold. There's a lot of great vendors here.

 

Exactly this. Do it right, do it once.

 

The HKS cast manifold is a great piece, works with the RHD cars, and is relatively inexpensive.

That design could cost u a motor, time and money with poor boost control and cracking.......ask me how I know.

 

Not here to tell you buy one, but i know lots of guys (including myself ATM) that is using a cheap eBay-ish manifold. Some i know running 500+ hp and like they already said some crack but some hold pretty well.. Mine is holding 340whp like a boss no cracks or what so ever! But now i am upgrading and that manifold was the first i scratched off my list. I've seen back to back dyno's of people only changing manifolds and gaining lots of spool.

If it's a temporary solution go for it but on the long term save up some money and buy a proper one

 

Donthe risk it its enough work taking it all apartments as is but just to have tone completely disassemble over cheap parts not worth it that's a part that gets a ton of heat and abuse don't go cheap plus more name worthy Manis usually have flow test from optimal output
