Good Rb26 Single Turbo Manifold?

[gawdzilla]

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.

i have a Trust manifold with T78 turbo, after 5000kms...it cracked

my friend has a Exotic speed Canada manifold, lasted a year and still going..

check out www.exoticspeedinside.ca

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

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???

[Faid]

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.

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.

[Warpspeed]

I too can recommend 6Boost's manifolds. Excellent manifolds, and a top bloke to do business with.

What sort of money do the RB26 T04Z single 6boost manifolds usually go for?

[Warpspeed]

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.

[govich]

Find a manifold made from stainless steel, with individual runners and a wastegate flange angled into the exhaust flow. Make sure the runners are seperate where they bolt into the block to allow them to expand. Proper design > brand.

thanks guys. i've sent a mail to 6boost

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
