Hi all. Have been looking at upgrading my factory exhaust manifold so I can run a exturnal gate to control boost better. Currently run factory manifold and factory turbo been hi flowed and steel wheel fitted. Made 358hp@wheels on 21 pound and falls off boost back to 15psi at 5300rpm. So has potential to make well into the 400 mark if I can sort out waste gate. Been looking at this manifold for a few weeks and like the fact that it keeps everything in the std position. Due to the fact I run the engine in a torana there is no room to move anything outwards. Has anyone else used this manifold from Hybird in New Zealand. If so can you please let me know what you think of it. Thanks Dave

Hey Dave,

I considered the hybrid performance manifold as they do look pretty solid compared to other options out there but not quite sure where they are manufactured etc along with not understanding the difference between their manifolds (some looks the same but cost 150 bucks more kind of thing).

In the end went with a 6boost manifold which is solid quality, known to perform and last well (lifetime warranty) and didnt have the guts to try out one of the hybrid manifolds. The guys at 6boost would definitely be able to help make sure it fits in there as well as all manifolds are made to order I think, you can check out a bit more below:

if you go with hybrid, really interested to hear what you think

sounds exactly like myself I was just about to buy a hybrid manifold then freaked out and got a 6boost it's really a work of art and couldn't be happier. I have read of some guys using the hybrid high mount for over a year with over 300kw no problem.

There's a big long thread on the Hybrid manifolds in here. They are made in NZ. People generally consider them value for the price - sometimes need "adjustments" such as refacing to ensure a good fit. Your alternatives include putting the wastgate on the turbo housing or welding on to the existing manifold. Personally I have paid the extra for a Sinco Customs manifold (similar quality and price to 6 Boost).

I've ordered a Kelway Manifold from Rex Kelway and can't wait to get it (finished by the end of the week)

Choices that have led me this way were many happy customers, as good as 6 boost and about $250 cheaper.

Just another option for you, there's heaps of them out there and a lot of info on the net because of the amount sold.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
