Just curious if anyone has personally used or test fitted one of these manifolds.

They seem to be a well-known shop from what I can tell in Thailand, and I'm just curious about the quality.

Whats the application?

the stock item is actually good for am amazing amount of power to begin with

1998 240SX with RB26DETT Swap, full S15 Front End Conversion, all Carbon Fiber Body.

It's a show car for BF Goodrich Tires.

So not really billinos of rwkw's?

so... compare that...

with mine (which i reckon looks heaps better painted rather than polished/chrome)

Thats what you want for show, polished look junkie

The stock thing is really good. Hence the description:

As many RB26 owners will know, the individual throttle bodies on these engines are a fantastic idea but all too often cause more problems then their worth. If they break or lose alignment, it can be very costly to fix or replace.

leaves me a little dubious. I haven't tried one but unless you're looking for something different I'd leave it. Asking the seller for dyno figures etc is usually interesting.

What set-up are you running with that RB26...if you don't mind me asking?

lol am i the only one who's never heard of "Stryder"... they keep talking about it as if it was Bosch or some globally recognised brand. Its made in Thailand... lol

I wouldn't put it on my RB26... esp if you live int he US, coz JDM Tyte engines are all expensive n shit over there. You wouldn't want granules of cast aluminium from Thai crap going into your engine and scoring the sides of your block would you? Don't skimp on the dollars on the small stuff when you're spending big.

Form the looks, u can unbolt it in half, so u could get in there and give it a damn good cleaning of all castings...would be good to see the inside

Id still want to do other things for power before spending on one of those..

painted plenums look like shit IMO

makes the engine bay look lop sided

unless your turbo and pipes and shit are painted too.

2/3s of the shit painted and the other 1/3 not painted looks retarded

paint/coat/what ever the f**k your engine covers

polish the plenum and turbo/piping.

then it looks nice and even and organised

i was having a stir :)

Personally i dont have time to clean polished gear. Paint, clean once in a blue moon and thats it.

If polished gear isnt spot on clean, it looks crud IMO.

But each to thier own

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
