I got one on my stagea recently (lots of other stuff at the same time). It is pretty good for the price but there are some things to watch out for like making sure the manifold surface is dead flat before you put it on. and some custom stuff needed like throttle body mounting and cable, aac mounting etc etc

pretty sure just jap sell them

mafia on here has one that he bought from me... but autotechnica make one thats the same as vulture motorsports one... IMO the only chinese made copy to buy is the autotecnica one...

I had an ebay one on for 1.5years.

Never saw a problem. Weren't any defects in the plenum. Didnt have any cyl 6 problems.

But I wouldn't recommend one for a more extensive build.

i was assuming all of the chinese copy manifold were coming from the same factory? as none of them are stamped or anthing? some just polish them up or powder coat them.. are the ebay one just the same?

Unknown quality of the metals used means porosity is a real issue to be aware of.

Mine was stripped back for some extensive finishing work, but got a heavy coat of epoxy enamel before installation.

The Chinese supplied it with a heavy coat of paint probably for the same reason.

myself and 2 others i know are using them, the chinese greddy ones, and they all had water leaks. my one leaked from the water gallery out of the manifold, the other 2 leaked into a port. both No2 runner i think. We all used some of that devcon stuff that my mate aquired from work and gave the water port between No1 and 2 a thin coating.

1.1k for a delivered one new from japan

why buy the fake shit??

[DriftSquad]

not every one has 1.1k to spend =)

so some have had good run with these and others havnt? would like to hear some more from others about these?

[Shiraz200SX]

well, a guy who used to be mates with mafia from here had one on his rb25 and it had the same shit water jackets and leaking issues.

i have personally sold over 8 of them in the last 12 months and had no problems or comebacks. only issue i had was that they dont come with new rubbers for the injectors, but that was a quick trip down to the local nissan dealership.

honestly, they come up really good, and come polished on most surfaces.

only thing that is worth doing is maybe port matching and cleaning up some of the cast markings, as it is only a china one...

www.autotecnica.com have a geezer anyway.

i'm not going to plug the store i work for, as they dont pay advertising, but its pretty easy to work out who sells autotecnica anyway.

always on ebay in the US, I had one, not that bad

[xenoshunter]

i have had a one and it performed well. only had to reweld a small leak near the trottle body join. i think i just got unlucky with that though. once fixed was great

[DriftSquad]

well they seem to come with 12 month warranty i think its worth a stab! i might buy one and let you guys know what its like!

it will be interesting to hear your experience, please report back...
