Looks decent. From what I have heard it is hard to go wrong with a cast manifold, as long as you clean up the casting marks, and separate the runners.

Btw, I just noticed that you are from Austin. Where in Austin to you live? Happen to have an aim sn?

I'm runnin that exact manifold. It works great, but you have to plug the holes you won't be using for your turbo. It's got a t3 and a t4 hole config. I just fut some studs where the t4 holes are at and cut them. Also, since I have an automatic s14, the break master cylinder is very close to the turbo (very little clearance.) but this is true with all manifolds and the automatics break cilinder. The manifold is good and very solid (very heavy too)P.S I'm gonna be parting out my car, so if you want the mani, give a pr and let me know.

hey I live in houston and have a cast manifold thats ceramic coated the runners are already cut, and the stud holes are inlarged. it hasn't been used at all, I payed 330 for it and would sell it for 300 shipped. the reason I can't use it is b/c of the turbo I got to good of a deal on not to buy.

Have pics? Also take a look at the link in my sig.

Hey naed240sx my aim name is s13hb I live in south austin(out skirts). And fabio420 ill send you a email. Thanks for the info guy.

I don't have any pics but its the one that tnt turbo sells on ebay for 300, I had a RH back in the day and its every bit as good if not better quality. The only thing I didn't do to it was gasket match. I'll try to get some pics up soon. Sorry to thread jack but what part of Houston?

[crzycav86]

I'm actually in missouri city, which is about 10 minutes from sw houston.

Wastegate port placement is not quite right.Looks like a RevHard copy.

[halnfl]

yeah the placement on that one is terrible, the one I have is made in the same plant in Puerto Rico as the RH. Yeah that sounds cool about Galveston, I'll be there, but not in my car, its getting rebuilt again.

[fabio420]

The wastegate placement is money on that manifold. It looks odd, but the wastegate fits perfectly. right net to the strut column.

[pr240sx]

In PR?I think that I know this guy, he is located in Fl, near Orlando area.

[halnfl]

yeah he's from Fl. the plant there in PR makes cast manifolds for Cartech, RH, Dinan, and a few factory cast turbo manifolds. All the metal they use is the same, and its pretty hardy stuff.

Looks good but for DE only. Plus they say the actual product might be different from the picture. I run when I hear that.

SS Autochrome makes decent, inexpensive ones for the DE. Some have been known to crack but they can be welded. It's the design that matters.

http://www.etdracing.com if you want an inexpensive manifold with good quality I just got mine it fits great awesome clearance for MC

[Edub1]

That's the same as the JGS. I think the point of an equal length mani is that the gas pulses compliment each other. Since that one has the flange offset to one side I'd be worried about the pulses interfearing with each other. I've seen a test that showed a huge power discrepancy between that and an equal length.

For an SOHC mani check out http://www.Gladmanperformance.com

$250 shipped and things look a little more semetric.
