GotsWapan Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I've seen a thread about the company in New Zealand, "Hybrid" that make the RB manifolds but has anyone had any tried and tested luck with their turbo range? I see some OK feedback for them on ebay. A little skeptical though. They're very cheap, makes me wonder if to go by 'what you get is what you pay for' rule of thumb or not. Thoughts?

LANDSCRIBBLE Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I have one of his low-mount rb25 steam pipe manifolds. It was a little difficult trying to bolt it onto the head, even with the engine out the car. The dump pipe position was out about 15-20cm to the side, so had to do away with the exhaust bracket/brace. Put 200k's on it so far and it hasnt cracked or anything. Will see how it handles 20psi. But it looks and feels pretty solid, good material etc. good price if you compare it to a chinese stainless one that is pretty much proven to crack eventually.

O.T. but i just installed the low mount manifold and it was fine, done about 500k and no dramas.

Cyifly Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I'm from nz and me and heaps of the boys ran those turbos and many others in terms of bang for buck they are pretty good give you constant reliable power for what you pay. And we limiter skid the shit out of our cars turbos held up fine. But bear in mind they aren't going to last as long as 1500 dollar hks turbo or anything like that Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/414063-nz-hybrid-turbos/#findComment-6645693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
