Hybrid Performance Low Mount Exh.

[Crossie]

Hi fellas just wanting to know from anyone who has had experience with the Hybrid Performance RB25 low mount exhaust manifold

Cheers

I have fitted a few highmount ones, haven't seen the low mount yet. What kind of information were you after?

The old saying 'you get what you pay for' comes to mind... But they work ok and flow the numbers.

[Crossie]

info about flow and more so about how they fit/workmanship

and yes i do know the modification triangle

cheers

I have had one for 18 months. Fits well just needed a tidy up with the die grinder inside. Fits a gtx3076 with no spacer

[Crossie]

Sweet, what did your tuner think of the flow of them/boost control

[steve200b]

Boost control is good 21psi internal gate. Picked up about 300rpm on spool compared to the std manifold

[Hattori Hanzo 69]

picked up good spool

picked up good power

price was good

had to get the internals cleaned up and the flanges faced as they were warped.

when i contacted Hybrid about the issues, no f**ks given essentially

he may have offered me to send it back at my cost and he would have faced it for me, but when i am in Perth and he is in NZ and my car is at a workshop - no dice

[Crossie]

thanks fellas

How are your turbine wheels looking guys? I gotta say i would rather have kept the standard manifold after all the headf**ks the hybrid caused me.

Bits from the welds was it?

Bits from the welds was it?

im not certain but i think so.

[steve200b]

thats why i spent some time on the die grinder etc as it looked dodgy without a tidy up

Yeah i did do that and flushed the hell out of it as best i could afterwards. Still lots of welds inside that were unreachable.

Im no welder or anything but it didnt look like the job had been filled with argon/c02 before welding.. A 6 boost highmount is going to be a no-brainer in the future.

I dont know, i think mine was from the first batch he made so maybe they are better now.

[steve200b]

Mine is a low mount. Direct replacement for the factory one so all welds are accessible

are you talking about the inner welds or exterior?

[GTScotT]

I've seen a few people who have had internal weld slag let go and destroy a turbine.

That's enough to send me packing.. Even though they are cheap and work reasonably well. The risk is high as the turbo generally costs a lot more than a HybridNZ manifold.

If they can get that issue resolved they will have a great product... But when the things are flying out the door regardless I don't think it is even on their agenda.

[Crossie]

yes this does concern me, is there a way of "cleaning" them properly?

[methz]

my manifold destroyed my exhaust wheel on gt35r, the turbo flange studs are all out of shape, spend extra go 6boost, dnt waste your time with this cheap junk

[steve200b]

Inner welds. All but a few are accessible with a long bit

[Hattori Hanzo 69]

i am nearly 100% certain these are imported from china and sold from there
