Some one was saying that the welds ( wernt pretty ) because we had used a tig and not a mig on the last Wg port we did, well from now on we will use a mig as much as possible. here is a few of the ones we have recently finished and because some one had stated they didn't like how the mig welds looked ( which does not actually effect the performance of the manifold ) we took your ideas on board and made the welds look pretty :) The large one is a 50mm port with a 50mm gate, the smaller one with the gate is a 38mm port and a v band gate, and the last one is a 44mm port with no flange.

can you do a low mount option for RB25 with 44mm ext gate opening??

Giday mate, i won't be making low mount setups at this stage but maybe in the near future.

Mate when I said mig welds were not appealing I said that from one welder to another and from a customers point of view aswell it's not a personnel attack moreso advice for criticism to come .

I personnly think for the price ur manifolds are it is a steal I would go one of these before I went Chinese but I'm making my own so it doesn't bother me either way .

As for the welds on the latest pics they do look a lot neater which is appealing to a lot of ppl and even if not scene u have piece of mind u have a relatively good looking setup

That's my 2c

Gl with it

I've just gone thru this NZ based supplier's website and all I can say is wow! the prices are good. He is even selling manifold/ turbo packages and manifold/ wastegate packages.

What I would like to ask is, do you do GT3076R spec turbos as I only saw the GT3540 which is too big for my street application- R34 aiming for a responsive 280-300rwkw. What brand wastegates are those, hoping not some cheap chinese shit, and how reliable are your turbos- i know its NZ assembled, is there any write-up on them? Cheers Ron

Giday mate,

Thanks for the support.

Our 3540 is aimed for larger power as the rear housing is quiet big. We will be doing some smaller sizes in the near future. Turbo's are high quality and we wouldn't sell it if we didn't know that. the cheaper range we do supply is for people who are on a tighter budget most GT series turbo's we do supply are assembled by us

Our wastegates that we do supply ( we don't manufacture ourself ) but under a very high quality control and are made in Taiwan not china like most cheaper gates that boost creep. we check each item before sold and make sure they are up to standard.

I will be posting up Dyno charts soon of the turbo's / wastegate's being used on our customer's cars.

Thanks Hybrid,

I reckon if you supply smaller turbos identical to 3076/3071 spec with manifold n gate packages at the prices you have, a strong base of dyno charts on customer cars AND solid reliability backing over a long period, then you will have a HUGE following, a big customer base in Australia is almost guaranteed, cheap and solid street spec turbos are in demand, not only in the the Nissan stables but other makes as well. Keep the good work coming. Cheers

Ok guys over the weekend i decided to take the sheets off my old car which i haven't touched in years. It use to have a stainless manifold with a T3/T4 turbo. To give you an idea the turbo was a fine hair line between the covers it was pretty much touching. The pictures bellow are a manifold we put together for a client with a 44mm port , and the turbo size is double what the t3/t4 was this is our GT3540 .70 A/R front and a 1.06 A/R rear, which compared to the old one it was .63,

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
