I have a R32 GT-R and ive been trying to read about the top mount XS power and OBX manifolds both on gtr.co.uk and Supraforums. Seems like people who have braced them dont have much problems with them, some have cracked and needed to be rewelded and some needed to have the bolt holes opened up with a drill to allow fitment.

But for the price i dont mind if i have to improve them a bit.

Anybody here that can comment on how they worked for them, here is the XS power Version 2 / $258.00 US Dollars

XS power vers 2 manifold

link to the OBX one / $315.00 US Dollars

OBX Manifold

mainly need to know if a T4 Precision Billet 6765 with a 1.15 a/r will fit it or maybe a GT4202 with a 1.15 a/r, so hopefully someone with a similar sized turbo can chime in

good or bad results, just want to get some info. And maybe state if you braced the manifold, what size turbo and if something went wrong what was the problem exactly :bunny:

btw i posted on gtr.co.uk also

Edited by R32GTR/Iceland
if you are going for that big of a turbo why not just buy a good quality manifold to start with? ETM, 6BOOST, fullrace

well i live in Iceland and im trying to keep some costs down if possible. Its costs very much to import car parts here and the damn depression didnt help. Our currency went to shit in 1 year. So everything now costs twice as much as it did 2 years ago and it wasnt even that good back then lol.

one guy on gtr.co.uk replied , he has the xs power manifold

Ive got the XS POwer manidfold on my car.

2 things i had to do, skim the surface on the flange that goes on the head, and rebuild the pipes for the wastegate. They were to small.

Im on the 4th year now, and no cracks at all. Taken it off / on the engine a few times, no problem with warping.

No braces.

Been on the dyno 4-5 times, 3,5 years of trackdays, dragracing and streetdriving. Totally now almost 25.000km.

Im currently running 590hp / 680nm at all 4 wheels, 1.7bar on a GT4088r.

Ive got OBX twin manifolds, tuned length, and the OBX split front pipe 2-into-1, for R32 RB26dett.

Weld quality is excellent, they give it a lifetime warranty. The header manifold pipes, whilst small to keep to stock position, look fantastic quality.

Cant fault the front pipe either.

Just need to fit, along with twin hks split dump pumps and a decat flex pipe Ive got here. Hard @ 6'8" with no physical knees tho :bunny:

nice, post up some results when you have installed everything

im using a xspower mani from ebay, i bought it 5 years ago. it had not had a single issue at all. street track etc etc. only thing i had to do was enlarge the wastegate ports on the collector

nice, im not quite seeing why everybody is saying you need to buy 1500-2000 dollar mani´s when it looks like the xs power one works. I know the other ones are much better quality etc. But you can almost do a whole fuel system for what you save by getting the XS power one.

what about the OBX manifold ? anyone ?

here are pics of the xs power mani

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
