Looking to get a T4 flanged single turbo manifold, top mount. Anyone have any experience with specific ones? I've seen vendors like Justjap, roguepi, etc. selling these manifolds, but its really hard to tell quality from just looking at pictures. I already know to stay away from ssautochrome, xs-power, etc... please advise, thanks.

A manifold that will fit a left-hand drive car would be preferable, where the wastegate tube doesnt go right into it, but i realize this may not be possible for anyone to know. my car is a left hand drive s14.

btw I am in the US, so preferably someone who will ship to the states... its tough to find decent single manis here.

The manifolds a few 3-4 ago, were below average china crap and had issues.

However, in the past 2 years there has been much wider use due to much better quality, and people have had no issues relatively speaking.

Its always good to brace a top-mount as much as you can. It stops the

cracking and what not.

so IMO - start with the above and go from there

thanks for the input.. i dont see a 26 mani listed under exoticspeed. i'll inquire via email about it... The gcg one is a T3, i'd prefer a T4 flange if possible... anyone else have experience?

hows the quality of justjap or roguepi? i think they are forum vendors

I had a look at the X-Force RB26 manifolds yesterday at Just Jap and the quality of them appears to be very very good and from memory they are around $795 ish with warranty

theres a guy on calaisturbo that makes awesome manifolds, im gonna chek them out this week... n ill let u kno pricing, his work is absolutely top notch!!

HKS kansai sevice extractors, use them on my own car, came with my T04Z kit. havent cracked or shown any signs of wear visible to the eye. thats my advice

i dont quite understand???

The manifold i ude on my own car come from the HKS kansai tuning service. After doing some googleing about them i cam up with some results. Kansai serivice is a devision of HKS that makes custom parts that are vehicle specific. the make the extractors (exh manifold) for the RB26 with a T4 flange and a 50mm ext gate setup. when i bought my T04Z kit from HKS ( a friend who is a importer of japanese cars in my country sourced all the bits and pieces that id be needing for the turbo on one of his regular buisnes trips to japan) he got evrything an the kansai shop. that is what i know of my exhaust manifolds, the manifold is very similar (if not the same) then the one on the sticky tread about cruiseliner who combined a JUN 2.7l with a T04Z, it is stickied in the forced induction preformance guide. have a look.

6boost manifolds.

Great work, they are cast mild steel pipe with extra thick flanges, gives a lifetime warranty on cracking. But to be safe its wise to support it with some extra bracing.

Well that all depends what you want !!!

He makes them to order, and can provide whatever you ask for. Hi mount, low mount, choice of turbo flange, with or without external wastegate flange. Lots of different possibilities for a Skyline.

But a six cylinder with external wastegate might be in the region of just over a grand.

Better to ask 6Boost for a quote.

If you order a 6boost manifold, make sure:

* you tell Kyle what you want it for specifically, in as much detail as is possible. He will be able to tell you

whether or not he can help you. I think each one is made from scratch, using an existing

car as a fit guide, so your requirements of 'fit an S14 LHD' might be harder than they sound >_<

* you get Kyle to _check_ each weld on the manifold individually before he sends it to you (an

unwelded section slipped through QC on mine; which I had to have welded). See

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
