Peak Performance RB25 turbo manifold

[420_240]

Just wanted to get some input on this manifold... kinda resembles the SSAC manifolds all over ebay... I found this on phase2motortrend.com



Peak Performance RB25DET SUS manifoldRB25DET is made from a thick wall T304 stainless that is less prone to cracking with hight quality TIG welds. The manifold is then polished to show quality. Careful consideration is taken when welding the manifold and bracket reinforcements are welded to keep the manifold from cracking. The RB25DET Manifold will fit into 240sx without modification. Most RB25DET manifolds require fabrication due to steering column interferance on left hand drive vehicles. Wastegate flange must be welded by end user so that there are no wastegate restrictions. Most wastegates can be accomodated to fit. The wastegate portion is left open for end users to weld on any external wastegate of their choice.Sale price: $995.00

i got the ssac 321 manifold ceramic coated, that ***** will last forever, if u want a manifold and the price i want is no where near that price, i dont like 304 stainless since its prone to cracking, but 321 has a lil titanium and some other crap it to reduce the chance to crack , and with the coating i got on it it should hold in heat and all that yadda, it looks just like that one

How is the fit of this manifold? I thought that all they made was a 304 stainless manifold.

fit is probally like everyone else horrible its never been used, i would use a dremel and widen the slots for the exhaust studs and call it a day, and i dont think they use 304 ne more

The deal with the 304 stainless been prone to cracking is a myth.

[StricNyne]

a myth that ssac 304 crack or 304 in general ?

bought mine from phase 2, held up great for the last 2k miles or so. I had an ssac, and compared to the ssac, the phase 2 is alot thicker, and heavier. but they never shipped my wastegate flange, so that kinda sucked

I bought one too. Reinforced it by adding a 1/2 ss roundstock from the head manifold to the turbo flange.

Also, for future reference, rather than honing the holes, heat the head flange(slowly and evenly) using a propane torch. The metal will expand and the holes will slide right over the studs.
