Kando Dynamics Turbo

[dori34]

someones bound to try it, and looks like you were the only one that's game enough Roy, good luck!

[Bsa]

Na it wasn't his post this was when I first started looking into buying one for myself. Of course fuel and other things need to be added to make the power all I'm saying is it's possible to do

[ARTZ]

Whats wrong with the air temp sensor mate? Have you wired it up right? Only two wires, cant be too hard to work out.

I had the loom upside down when i wired it...

Everyone loves the sl2 cause of intrenet yabba..there is no real results yet so few of us decided to try it, now everyone is jumping on the bandwagon before we has results...

Sl2 will probaly only do around 260_280. On pulp..thats all we ever expected, and all the stock manifold can really deal with comfortably...what, you expected more??

Yeh its crazy people seem to think these td06 things are a new thing...

I was trawling yahoo japan auctions for months before this thread looking for a genuine Trust SL2 or T67 rb25 kit then along came Simon pushing kando the great!

Keeping true with our bang for buck theme here a very interesting comment was made in the following thread:

Ebay steam pipe maniofold thread

Noel is a high end user and clearly approves of the item, the price is also great. This could be a good combo with a kando, again making the T67 option even cheaper.

I may look into getting one for my SR

[ARTZ]

yeah i almost got one of them...they look solid enough...

[Sarumatix]

shame there is no low mount option.

Sean from Allstar who tunes my car grabbed one of them for a slapper/thrasher build. The quality and welding was ok but the design of the manifold leaves a lot to be desired. The angles of the runners merging and wastegate exit were average at best...

He never ended up using it because he sold the car (I should ask him where it ended up) and if it was ok but he wasn't too keen on using it.

It's not going to be close to a decent manifold but if it does the jobs reasonably then they are a bargain

The wastegate angle looks horrible, that's worse than a 90 degree bend.

i remember seeing a picture somewhere of the merge collectors, and they were of the same quality/design as of the cheap chinese s/s high mount manifolds.

That's what I was trying to get at, they do have the advantage over the stainless that they should be more sturdy and not crack/break

[ARTZ]

and that was why I didnt get one...lol

[Rolls]

I figure if you are going aftermarket manifold you want it to be an improvement over stock so why get some shitty design with bad angles?

[GTScotT]

I guess the idea is for ease of fitment and to uncap the stock manifold.

For me I would happily whack a kando on a china SS manifold if I knew it was not going to crack.. these kind of fill the void.

By no means do I suggest them as a 6b replacement but hey im sure they work about as good as a china SS without the cracktastic outcomes.

they will work, but it could work better

$300~ebay job Vs $1100 6boost

if it does the job, ill be happy to spend $300 as it will definitely be an improvement over the stocker.

[Rolls]

as it will definitely be an improvement over the stocker.

how do you know that?

[Bsa]

Oh god the war begins again stock vs aftermarket manifolds. Iv bought a eBay manifold ONCE and I ended up cutting it up and turned it into a screemer pipe and it actually worked very well haha.

LOL you mean you made the whole manifold into a screamer pipe or you added a screamer on?

The first one would be funnier lol!!

[Bsa]

I actually cut it up and used the runners and bends to make the screemer ask jez I did it at boydys just before the tune

[dori34]

how do you know that?

did you not read the thread ?

ill post it here in case you missed it where fineline fitted one to his car, i don't see a stock manifold hitting 500hp?

I'm using one of these manifolds on the gtr. It came in a package deal from an expatriot kiwi with a new turbo.

My first thoughts were the same as yours, doubt as to the quality, I showed it to a couple of mates in the welding and fab game and they gave it the thumbs up so we went ahead and bolted it on.

Its done a few k now and is about the best bang for buck mod out there. zero problems, perfect fit, no restrictions when we tuned it.

We took the tune out to 500 whp before turning it back to a safe 450 whp for safety (stock bottom end)

I wouldnt hesitate to buy another if I needed it based solely on my experience with the current one.

theres always a cheap way and an expensive way to go about things.

like i said, it may work ok for $300 but for $1100 item, it will work better.
