Manifold question

OK so questionS...

has anyone tried the SR top mount manifold from Japan auto?
How good are these?
Are they worth the R2500 they want for them?

It is stainless stell and has a exit for external wastegate and turns the turbo intake a lil away from the dipstick (currently mine is a lil in the way since the T3/T4 is a lil big

)

You can pick those up on ebay for about R1100 + shipping. But shop around as some are better quality than others.

I have brought a couple of items in via fedex from the states and can tell you that you would probibly be looking at +-$100 to $150 for shipping - at the current exchange you might be better of just taking the one available locally

got a quote last week on a set of wheels = $620 and i'm sure that weighs at least as much as one wheel - do the math

I have one of those on my SR20, works fine, havnt had it that long, so cant say how long it will last, no bad for the price.

Hey RB25sx.

Its been awhile since your last post . Is the topmount still fine ? IS it on a sr or RB ?

Would love to know . Not many who have gone that route .

I have one on SR20 and on RB25. Havnt had any problems , but if they crack it will show in time. I did modify the RB25 manifold to change the angle of the flange, since the turbo touched the tappet cover, also welded a brace piece from ext wastegate flange to manifold to stop the pipe from carying all the weight of the ext wastegate.
