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

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
