you took photos of the R34, and the turbo was off, you could've easily taken a photo of the collectors like everyone has been asking for.

so have you managed to get a photo of your collectors yet?

I love it how " some one said something" goes around like Chinese whispers ,

The Rb20 / 25 manifolds we do are test fitted to a engine bay which is my own car to make sure it bolts up and clears ( showing in the pictures above ) we try to make sure all the flanges are flush and the gaskets given are thick to prevent exhaust leakage.

If you look at my ebay account most of the people who have purchased the product are very happy with it and every one who have used is happy with it, I am sure there are some people out there are a bit picky in regards to making sure its fully flat and what's an extra $50 dollars to spend to get it machined again if they are not completely happy?

a customer purchased a Rb30 manifold saying that his mechanic said the flange is not straight and needing machining and he should buy a 6boost one.

Now i have no problem with any one buying any product. But what we make we have listed 100's of pictures of what the products look like.

The pictures above is off your manifold which i did for you i spent hours making sure the WG pipe flow is good and getting it welded nicely for $399 i am not sure who would do that . This is not a 6boost manifold and i keep repeating myself if you pay me the same amount for a 6boost manifold i will make you one like that. I am trying to provide people with something decent and if they don't want to spend a lot then this is an option for them.

Kam how accurate is your T3 port/bolt holes to an actual T3 gasket?

Can you please hold a gasket to it to show?

While I think whinging about the flange being perfect flat or not is a waste of breath, its a compromise made to keep the price down clearly and that is fine with me, yet I think the turbo flange dimensions need to be 100% spot on or a tiny big smaller.

Please take a photo for your future customers :) Thanks,

Since you brought up the topic Scott... I have just sent my brand new 6boost manifold back because the turbo flange stud holes are out. Can't get a turbo on.

Yeah thats always been a concern of mine with an AM manifold.

Im not so much worried about 1 stud being a little off as you can drill out your housing a mil or two as can your gasket, but id be worried if there is a lip in the flow path/entry to the turbine housing. That could result in really SHIT performance.

If Kam can show us his ports match perfectly to the gasket it will go to show it is an excellent product :thumbsup:

I have full faith in this product as long as the port accuracy, collector/runner design and strength are all A1 I dont mind what corners are cut in the appearance department. But you should know cam that being well port matched and having a good collector is a MUST for a successful product.

Looks to be from the same seller that my mate purchased one for his RB30 turbo in a Patrol. Has been thrashing the thing through the bush getting it hot and then cold going through mud puddles and hasn't formed any stress cracks yet so can't be too bad. For the price you just cant beat them... however can;t comment on whether they are good for power or not.

Recieved my manifold earlier in the week. Kam has done a excellent job on the manifold,allthough its no 6Boost or fullrace manifold it would have to be the ultimate best bang for buck manifold on the market.

For anyone not wanting to spend massive amounts and still want a high quality made manifold, with excellent customer support Buy from Kam, he has provided me with all the answers to my questions and has been nothing less then helpful.

Your the Man KAM.

Anyone in SA (im near gepps X) wanting to see a manifold in person your more then welcome to look at mine as i wont be fully fitting it to my motor for another few weeks.

Thank you Kam for providing the "budgeter's" with a quality product.

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
