As we come into the new year, here’s a rundown of the latest updates in the workshop and what’s in store for the near future. Ariel covers some product updates, shop improvements and what's been happening in the scene.
RB26 Twin Fuel Rail Manifold: Ready to Ship
Our RB26 twin fuel rail intake manifold, paired with a 90mm throttle body, is heading out the door. This all-billet design, crafted entirely in-house, has become one of our most popular configurations. Free of welds and built with O-ring-sealed surfaces, this manifold is a complete, ready-to-install solution.
Featuring a stunning colour combination, it’s perfect for standing out in the engine bay. Why settle for black-on-black when you can make a bold statement?
Product Stock Updates
Borg Warner 78 Billet Diff Hats: Designed for VL Commodores, these hats come as a complete kit, including Australian-made Speedflow fittings and all required hardware. Supporting local manufacturing is a key priority.
RB and JZ Intake Manifolds: These remain our best-selling products, and we've ramped up production. After selling out in just three months earlier this year, we’ve made a run of 40 new manifolds to keep up with demand.
CSF Gen 1 & Gen 2 and Race X Manifolds: We’ve stocked up on material for another 80 manifolds, ensuring plenty of inventory going into the new year.
New Product Spotlight: RB26 Drag Intake Manifold
We’ve added a game-changing product to our lineup: the RB26 Drag Intake Manifold. Designed for high-performance drag builds, this manifold is trusted by record-breaking RBs, including Zeus from Croydon Racing Developments. With configurations for up to 24 injectors, a 125mm throttle body, and the flexibility to suit vertical or angled engines, this manifold is the ultimate choice for serious drag racers.
Shop Improvements:
Space has always been tight, so we’ve started extending our mezzanine to maximise our shop’s functionality. With beams in place and flooring underway, the expanded space will help us streamline operations and improve overall efficiency.
In the Works: 2JZ Cylinder Head & Compound Turbo GTR
2JZ Cylinder Head: After significant updates to version 2, we’re already planning version 3, which will feature a completely redesigned intake and exhaust system for improved efficiency and reliability. Testing is set to begin early next year.
R32 GTR Compound Turbo Setup: This one-of-a-kind build includes a 3D-printed Inconel exhaust manifold weighing just 3kg, custom water-to-air intercoolers, and a six-speed H-pattern transmission. It’s a piece of art, and we’re excited to see it come together.
Looking Ahead to 2025
2024 has been a huge year for CPC, and it’s all thanks to our customers, supporters, and suppliers. We’re closing the year on a high note and gearing up for an even bigger 2025. From all of us at CPC Manufacturing, thank you, and here’s to a fresh start and exciting projects in the new year.
Stay tuned for more updates.
