Any chance you could get me a price on the gasket and other parts that I will need to do the job please Gary. i.e. turbo gaskets, bolts etc.

If it's easier for you to ring me to discuss it my number is in the members section.

Cheers.

STAY AWAY FROM XSPOWER Nik!!!! They are a cheap way to fix problems temporarily!! What do you need pricing on? I may be able to swag something from the states.

XS Power are used on lots of high horse power GTR's in the UK. Sure some need fettling a little but, as an example, most of the cars that Tweenierob has seen with T04's are using that manifold.

I have that HKS exhaust gasket if you still want it Nicholas :D

Can you fix that link JC? I just get errors on Firefox.

What was the name of the product you're recommending?

[quote="R32 Nik"]Anyone know whether "XS Power" manifolds are any good?

I was looking for a gasket and saw one on ebay with gaskets included for
s13 with 313bhp and Omex management and now an APT fully forged engine :D

Did you have a think about how much you want for it?

And there's no need for the name calling. Only my mother and my wife get permission to call me that :D and only when I am trouble :D:D

You could try going to your local Nissan dealership and getting a set of gaskets from there?
Sometimes it is not as expensive as you think.

The RB engines are known for breaking exhaust studs though , that was the reason my manifold started blowing

Rising Sun performance used to sell a kit with better studs might be worth giving them a call
