hybrid performance manifold, using one with gt3582r and another with precision 6266... cannot beat the price and value.. you would be stupid 2 purchase anything else around that price range. specially the cheap chinese shit. we all know the problems they have.

Yeah not too bad with the ring spanner, I recall there was one that I could get about 2mm of movement so I got the grinder out and cut the spanner :D I'm just lazy and love using ratchets. But brilliant value for money.

My cars still in the build stage so cant report too much on their durability but the welds were good, the position of the turbo flange is great, lots of space to the cam cover. alot of the stainless cheapies wont fit most aftermarket turbochargers.

I had to make a custom mount for the power steering reservoir as it fouled on the compressor housing.

How long have you been using the Hybrid manifold?

what turbo are you using with it?

They don't look to bad for $350-400 and there made out of steampipe/mild steel

I'm using a hybrid one with a 5558 Been on the car for about 3 months

So far Done about 3000kms maybe

Including drags at wsid and a trackday at Wakefield .

I can not complain for price

I had to make a custom mount for the power steering reservoir as well... It took all of 20 mins, if that?

I've had the hybrid mani on the car for about 1000kms now (car sits at 370rwhp), it's been a hard 1000kms :-P

Was probably the most straight forward Part of this Build lol.

Did you make a brace for you turbo? Im thinking of making one utilizing the bolts that hold the crossover piping to the head.

We will have some low mount ones that we are working on, which will be available in a couple weeks , The ones we will be doing will be good to run with a 38mm wastegate , if you are wanting to run big horse power i would suggest going for the top mount with a larger wastegate port, Low mounts are a mission and cramps everything in a tight spot so its quiet hard to make something which will look half decent and will also clear everything.

I haven't made one yet. I had the same idea. Only because there is a lot of weight hanging off those exhaust studs in the engine block. The gyrating force of the turbo (not sure if that's the correct term) would put a but of strain on those studs as well.

yeah hot manifold + the weight of the bits attached would put alot of strain on the studs, hate removing broken studs! I didn't think the turbo spinning would affect too much if its properly balanced but then again, I am no turbo expert, thats why I'm on these forums :yes:

Ill get some steel and see what I can do for a mount, should be quite easy as the Hybrid manifold has both T3 and T4 bolt holes so i can mount to that.

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
