Roostmonkey Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Has anyone tried these manifolds or any others that are constantly on ebay? Ive seen plenty of talk about the single turbo manifolds and the problems that have been had with them, but not the twins. I'm sure if I went with the HKS's at 4X the cost, there would be no issues but if the others fit and stay together I'd rather put the money elsewhere.

triple B Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 i have seen them on ebay for the RB25 and RB26. i am on alimited budget but i am kinda leery of buying. i have heard you should avoid the SS autochrome stuff. if you end up getting an OBX i am curious as to the quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZDrifter Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I have read countless hours about these manifolds and I have seen many times its not worth the money. Poor welds, Bad fitment or dont fit at all. Remember your gettin what you paid for, your better off making your own cuz you get one of these, take it all apart and rebuild it.....same thing aint it??? Do it right the first time, and if you make one its that much better, then if someone asks....Hey that manifold is sick...GReddy?? HKS??? You can say no I made it...Just my opinion....

ZDrifter Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Good to hear!! I would go with stainless steel. Full Race makes a really solid header you could get some ideas from. Im planning on making my own aswell, I want to place the turbo high and forward probably somewhere near the timing cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Revelation Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 especially with exahust you dont want to go cheap on your project. A limited budget is completely understandable but save and pay for the high grade the maifold anf the IC are something you should always spring for the quality.

DatZun Driver Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Had a buddy buy a obx turbo mani for his honda fwd, It cracked on him. Heard on other forums people with fwd SR20DET cracking them too. Also people with fwd SR20's Headers workin out awsome. Maybe its just fwd. Me personally I wouldn't go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26S14 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 i was just gonna post that my friend has an evo8 and he put an obx manifold on and it cracked with just daily driving. Then again i do live in vegas where average temps are around 110 degrees. I wouldn't waste your money on those type of exhaust manifolds because of the temperatures they get. Full Race makes an awesome manifold for about $2200 (kinda pricey but worth the quality)Now personally i tried one of the ebay intake manifolds and the only wrong is that i had to modify the fitment to make it work on my car, but the intake manifolds dont get temperatures like exhaust manifolds. my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
