There are so many fabricators popping up all around NZ its not funny, there is some serious competition out there! Most of the stuff its not to bad quality as well.

for that price I would give it a go regardless haha.

I built up a drift car for my mate before I moved to oz, He brought a cheap stainless steel manifold to use on the RB25det i had to adapt it to fit his master power T70 and wastegate and heaps of other fab work but basically after over a year of some competitive drifting its still holding up strong. Even Jake Jones couldn't shake the beast to bits lol

Sometimes cheap stuff may look crappy but will surprise you how long it lasts.

chiming in on this.. I installed this on a freinds s13 SR and it has gotten the thumbs up from MRC and Rigoli.. Still waiting on a proper power run but is going well

edit: forgot to mention this was originally a non ext gate manifold. We drilled the merge collector and made our own ext gate point at a 45 degree angle

Hi there,

First of all i would like to introduce my self, My name is kam and i am also the owner of hybrid performance, www.hybridperformance.co.nz , we supply the manifolds mentioned and we have launched our new website , We are based in Auckland new Zealand and we specialise in Mild steel Manifolds and Turbo chargers ( non of that cheap junk going a round )

If you require any help or info or pictures please let me know and i will post it up,

We can also modify the Wastegate port according to what size you want but an extra cost will be charged,

Manifolds are in stock and ready to dispatch and we have customers world wide :)

I would also like to mention the link for Trade Me listed is not us and is one of the companies we supply to. It is cheaper to go directly through us but you are more than welcome to purchase from our suppliers too.

If any one can tell us how we can post up as a sponsor on the site we would like to offer the club some discount

Kind regards

Kam

Kam, Welcome aboard matey. As you have read here it was me that started this post. I am skylinefeb75 on ebay too. Your RB26 Manifolds are it would appear the dogs bollocks. I would like to order one with wastegate pipework to suit my Greddy 4 bolt wastegate if thats possible? Please drop me a message with your email addy in it and ill drop you a line. These manifolds would go a bomb on the GTROC and Skyline owners forums too.....I am more than prepared to introduce you as ive been a member on the GTROC for nearly 8 years now.

Can someone confirm what sized wastegate an "off the Shelf" RB26 6boost manifold comes designed for? Am I worrying the 38mm is too small for no reason???? What do you think guys??

Sorry Andy, I don't have any pics of the collector. It's much better then some of the stuff I've seen in the same price range though :)

my mate bought one of ebay, works great ran 280RWKW on 17psi on a GTX3076R had it for months no issues dam good buy and my track car will get one.... + 1 Kam good product i was very impressed and i am a brand whore lol

Kyle from 6boost usually reccomends larger gates for his manifolds (60mm for most seups) due to the design of the collector. 38mm is fine for most setups, the only time it'll become a problem is when trying to run really low boost with a largish turbo

Yep, told me 50mm minimum but i am going to try a 44mm Tial and see what happens....

The size of the wastegate required depends on

1. The capacity of the turbo (more capacity bigger w/g)

2. The amount of boost you are going to run (more boost smaller w/g)

3. The position of the wastegate in relation to the collector and turbo ( try to give w/g priority)

I have a 50mm wastegate coming straight off the housing of my GT3540:

Battery, Im not doubting this is an ebay manifold but I think Kam should post a pic of his collectors up as i certainly would not be putting that mess anywhere near my engine. Kam?????????

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
