Hey im looking 2 upgrade my exhaust manifold and i came across these on ebay.

Im just wondering if any1 has used these or no if there any good, as they are at a pretty good price nd im very tempted 2 buy 1 as a low mount tho.

The positioning of the wastegate pipe scares me. Also, contact the seller to find out the wall thickness... But in answer to your question, no I haven't used this 'exact' one.. The welds look neat enough though.

EDIT: Just realised you said "as a low mount", in which case... As below.

It's well known that china stainless manifolds crack over time.

What set-up do you have?

Unless over 300rwkw on PULP or 340rwkw on E85... Stock manifold is tried and proven to be perfectly fine - so stick with it.

Well im in the middle of doing up my engine atm and my aim is 4 around 280-300rwks on united 100 octane.

Ive currently got

Hypergear ATR43SS2 with .82 rear

Apexi power fc + adjustable boost controller

Nismo 740cc injectors

Z32 afm

FMIC

3" metal induction pipe

Pod filter in plazmaman cold air box

Blitz BOV

Xforce turbo bak zorst

Walbro fuel pump

Splitfire coil packs

I was told that the stock manifold was only good 4 280rwks max. So was gunna just replace manifold when i get my new turbo put on. But if there good 4 around 300rwks i might just keep it nd see how it goes.

I dont think these a china copies either, Says theres aussie made.

You do not need an after market manifold.

The manifold is tried, and proven. Whoever said it was a restriction does not know what they are talking about.

And without even reading the ad, I can tell you it does not state they are locally made.

Why? Because they look like every other China manifold.

im using one but slightly modified. had the external gate pipe re done and boost doesnt spike and has f-all bleed off.. Not a bad piece of equipment after modifying. hasnt cracked or warped yet

also what ash said.. you can make pretty good power using a standard manifold.

You can run an 50mm external gate from the factory exhaust manifold, which results the most significant gain without having to go through the hassle of changing the whole exhaust setup.

The only problem doing it off the manifold, though, is that they are split pulse from factory so if you gate off the manifold you only get 3 runners bleeding off

You can dill at where the two main collectors meets then mill the divider 20mms in and weld a screamer from there. I saw couple done and worked that way and getting better result then externally gating from the turbine housing.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
