CXRacing Turbo Manifold = Junk. Does not fit.
I purchased a new turbo kit from them not too long ago and turns out that their turbo manifold for the 2JZGE SC300 does not even fit. It's obvious that they do not test fit their products prior to selling them. It appears that I have to re-drill half of the holes in order to make this manifold fit. I have already re-drilled one of the center holes since I thought it was the culprit but I was wrong. All the ones on the left fit fine, but the ones on the right are way off.

Yielding a title search in club lexus for "CXracing" on shows only a handful of results. And only two are under the SC300/SC400 forum. There are no user reviews of the CXRacing kit so I'd thought I'd be the first one to review it, therefore I made this post. If I was living under a rock, I would not be warning anyone about how crappy their manifolds are.

So you decided to cheap out on your build by using parts built by a mass manufacturer in china who sells you a manifold for less than you get the cost of material for local, and are surprised?
Pretty sure if you take pictures and email them to cx they'll replace it. But you'll just get another one that sucks in one way or another. You can't say cx doesn't test fit stuff. I'm positive they do. Everyone does. Then when it fits they order a bunch in bulk. Then some Chinese kid gets tired, lazy, or rushed and puts something together ****ed up. Do you expect them to bolt up every single manifold? They won't. Think they're gonna lose any money over this? They won't. There's always cheap people doing what you're doing.
Word of advice, deck all the sealing surfaces because I guarantee they are warped. It's part of the game. Cheap out on stuff and expect to modify stuff accordingly.

my cxracing manifold fits just fine on mines and my buddies did on his, regardless it looks like its only like maybe 10min of honing out that needs to be done so no need to complain
