Crash Bandicoot Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Has anyone bought and fitted this manifold? It’s off eBay and about half the price of competitors... Item number 114132867953 I’ve messaged the seller as the picture advertised is obviously an inlet manifold on a RB engine. He came back with these photos. Quick postage on these too.

Swampy442 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 No personal experience but fro what Ive seen on other cheap manifolds expect distorted flanges, mismatched ports and general roughness on the inside of the manifold. It pays to buy quality parts when dealing with manifolds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 From what I've seen, the lower runners have to be welded to them as they don't bolt up and seal properly, and the throttle body is probably trash. I can't speak from personal experience though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 yes personal experience on my White supra. Utter garbage mate stay well clear. They don't seal correctly. The ICV holes are the wrong size so you either block them off and weld an external pipe adapter on or don't runtime ICV. The throttle unit is garbage too and at low inputs its not very sensitive and then fiddly the voltage jumps which massively effects your drivability. Stick with Stock or go with a proper unit not one of the copies. You honestly won't see massive power gains unless you have had all the head work (porting, polishing) done as well.

Crash Bandicoot Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Thanks for the feedback I won’t be buying one, I’m after something polished for my build. Just wondered why it was advertised pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Because its garbage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Looks exactly like the SSI one, especially the throttle body. NA-T guys have all sorts of issues with TPS fitment as well. Sounds like a proper ball-ache. Hypertune or Plazaman are about the only 2 modern ones I'd go for. There's some nice ones in the states but exchange rates and taxes mean they end up costing a fortune. Pro-Jay, Sleeper Designs and CPC are the names of those ones in case anyone fancied a look anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I wouldn’t take the risk and buy cheap, I am na-t and have the SSI and it looks great but has caused me so many problems with build and is still causing headaches for me, if I could go back I would 100% go for the hyper tune inlet, I know it’s more expensive but it’s worth the extra cost all day long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
