bottom mount manifold

[jrb92se]

does anyone know of any good bottom mount turbo manifolds for the ka ive got a t28 from an rb but from the looks of the turbo itself it would have to be mounted underneath

[Valley]

yes, all RB stock turbo's are bottom mounted. if its from a rb25 then its a t28/t3 and likes to exploded above 1bar (all RB's do until r34)

can't help you with the mani though...

[jrb92se]

thanks for not helping at all . the turbo is from an rb20 if it matters

you should tell people what you're driving. KA24E and KA24DE manifold are totally different. There are more choice on DOHC. and some bottom mount manifold require removal of A/C compressor, like mine.

[jrb92se]

its a 96 ka24de and the hose that connects to the compressor has been broken for a couple months so i dont even know if it works anymore anyway i dont even know how it broke

[BadMojo]

I believe SSAutochrome makes a bottom-mount manifold for T25/T28 turbos. I don't know if I'd call them "good", but they can easily be found on Ebay.

the revhard manifold which is cast iron, is bith top mount and bottom mount as you can just flip it around.

dont get ssautochrome please do yourself a favour.

^^^i dissagree.. most people knock on ssac manis only because they have a tennacy to crack...well here's what you do...make a bar that releives the pressure from the turbo on the manifold...it might cost you 10 bucks and you have a mani that works great...i have a friend with 390 on a ssac mani with no problems..and if it breaks you send it right in and they will replace it for free. i kno many people with their manifolds and they love them...just be smart about it and they will work

[jrb92se]

ive seen these on ebay and heard the horror stories on here...maybe a last resort.... the guy above said he had to remove his ac compressor to fit a bottom mount mani. would you have to do this to fit the revhard mani?....with the ssac mani what did you buddy brace it to? the strut tower, the engine? can you get pics cause if it doesnt look to ghetto i might have to try it cause the revhard stuff is exspensive

[Nismo_Freak]

The RB turbos have T3 flanges.

to be ohnest with you i know some people are running the ssac manifolds with supporting brackets and seem to not have any problems yet, but realistically speaking a tubular manifold made for less than 200 bucks is definitly not a quality product, doest matter how you cut it.

[jrb92se]

you get what you pay for right.......anyone got a used revhard manifold for sale ?

[chandler]

yeah , anyone have a revhard for sale? And, how does the wastegate fit when its mounted like that, hmmmm

[teddy]

JGS Tools has their new log manifold for the ka24de out. Comes with the t3 flange or whatever other flange you wanna run on it. Might wanna look into that.

[chandler]

accually Im waiting for the new turbo240 manifold to emerge
