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

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
