MonstA SR20DET T3/T4 TOP MOUNT? ebay, but looks somewhat decent - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

has anyone ever used this companies stuff? they're manifold looks a little better quality than the rest of the ebayers. plus, so far they're the only company on there that shows what the collector looks like inside. i know it doesn't have a flowcone or anything but it does look clean in there. i know fullrace, peakboost, and hydrodynamics are the best. but hell i paid $2000 for the car and a little over $1500 for the SR and trans, i can't justify spending $1200 on just a manifold.

Junk! There are better quality mani's out there that don't cost an arm or a leg.

junk. same shit, just rebranded. If you want a good quality manifold that is cheap, get the SSAC/X03 bottom mount. Make sure it's the newer version with the runner supports welded on to the flange. Numerous people on here have ran that for several years without any problems or cracking. The bottom mount isn't as prone to cracking as the top mount. With any cheaper top mount, it's bound to crack because the weight of the turbo and the heat is constantly creating stress. If you want something that's even more durable and cheap, get a log manifold, like the one from JGS.

I can vouch for the X02 manifolds, they're definetly a steal for only being $150. Good welds, super thick flange with supports going from the runners to the flange, and overall good quality. A lot of KA-t guys have been running that manifold for a couple years without any issues. Sorry if this is slightly off topic, just putting in a good word for a related item.

poop all of it is poop.

If its a manifold and its not made a Japanese Robotic Tig Machine In Japane, Hatori Hanzo himself or a WWII P51 Mechanic from Signal Hill (my guy) then its crap.

Full Race
PeakBoost (usually)
Hybridynamics

Get one of those or stay stock don't even wasteyour time.

Racing cars is expensive do it as close to right the first time

or
