Anyone got good pics of Trust T78 single kit? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Anyone got good pics of a Trust T78 single kit? Any experiences of cracking? Comapered to the HKS TO4Z kit, which is better made, manifold wise? Cheers.

I have a T88, but bolted up to an HKS manifold.

My manifold looks like a patchwork quilt its been welded so many times where it's cracked.

In my personal experience, HKS manifolds look nice, but being blunt, are utter junk. It's a common trend with the higher powered Evo's that they tend to last about 5 minutes, and in 5000 miles of use, mine has been welded twice on the Skyline.

Manifold wise, one made of bog roll would probably last longer...

TO4Z looks nice though. Can anyone confirm its just a modified TO4R though with a slieve bearing front end, rather than being a proper 'true' BB core?

Thanks for that. I am SO desperate to buy either another Apexi cast iron sngle turbo, remote wastegate manifold like the one on my RB25DET engine (which is dual drilled to also fit RB26 heads, but which I need in order to maintain the RB25 engine in a running state), or an HKS cast iron manifold for single turbo, remote wastegate. Anyone reading this that has one, knows of one, or knows someone that might know of one, PLEASE let me know. My project is on hold until i find one. Cheers.

T04Z has a GT type turbine wheel rather than the old school T04 wheel in the T04R so I would assume it's a pukka GT core.

My T04R HKS manifold has a fair few km's on it and only one small crack so far just in the collector area before the turbine flange.
