Hi everyone, does anyone know where I can get a tubular manifold with a T3 flange in the U.S. everyone in the U.K. and Australia are full of s*** and just muck me around, I've been trying to get a manifold for well over a year.

Cheers

Paul

For those of you interested, I have a custom tubular manifold to fit the CA in my s14 chassis. It origionally fit a FWD CA with a KKK flange, but was modified to fit the RWD layout, and I had a T3/T04E on it with a Tial 40mm wastegate. I can sell the manifold, downpipe, and exhaust all for $1100 shipped. Keep in mind this does not include the turbo or the wastegate. If you insist on the pieces seperately, the exhaust is $200, downpipe is $100 and the manifold is $800. The exhaust and downpipe were custom fit to match and are all 3" with a thermal muffler. I have pics somewhere if you need them.

hey drifter1907, could you make some bottom mount ones too? i need a tubular bottom mount manifold with a t3 flange for an internally gated turbo.(I will soon have a GReddy TD-06 19C w/Greddy actuator) I want the bottom mount so I can use the downpipe I will be ordering soon. If not, I could go for a top-mount(internally gated) setup. Thanks! Also, could you post some pics when you get through with one? What would be the estimated cost? Thanks again.

Trust(Greddy) makes them, wastegate type. They have the triagular turbo flange though, need to cut that off and put the flange you want on it.

the manifolds would most likley be priced in the $325-$425 range. the y will look very similar to drumma022's manifold.

For those of you interested--I am negotiable on the manifold price if you take the whole package off my hands. The reason why I initially threw out 800 just for the manifold is b/c I origionally paid $400 to get it off ebay, but then cost me an additional $200 plus a T3 turbo to have it modified to work on the car. I also have pics of what the manifold looked like before it was modified if needed.

Thanks

we have one prototype manifold being made now. then i will run it on my car for a few weeks and beat on it to make sure it won't crack, so were still looking at 4-6 weeks.

you paid 400 for it, then 200 to fix it, then bought a turbo? so you want 800 for it now?, hummm, parts don;t go up in price when used bro. even if you spend money on em, thats still a bit steep. lets see what it looked like before?

Nooooooo :) I was saying that i paid 400 on ebay, plus 200 to modify and I had to trade the guy my newly rebuilt T3 turbo (since I had an extra one laying around). I am at work now, but I can post the before pics in about an hour or two.

All I really want to do is break even and get the parts out of my garage. As earlier mentioned, if the manifold and downpipe and exhaust are purchased together, I will sell it ALL at around $800 plus shipping.

On the trust manny, I had HEARD that it will not fit the LHD layout. Of course that cannot be validated personally. I was going to have tht setup ONLY if I knew that if I could have fit a T67, but Trust lists it for only td-05 and small td-06 turbos, whereas the SR20 trust manifold has 2 listings, one for the smaller td-05, and td-06; and one for the t67.

hey that manifold i bought from drift i will let go for what i paid for it. 215 shipped. i really wanted to buy it just to see how it was and the quality. its extremely nice but my only complaint is some sloppy welds on runners 3 and 4. other then that its a pimp manifold. i already have a hks top mount and would dare stick a t3 based turbo on my car.

I'm interested but i'm worried about one thing, my brake master cylinder is on the other side and I have a huge ABS module there instead, I was wondering if it might have clearance problems.

Could you send me a picture of number 3 and 4 runners?

hey drifter1907, could you e-mail me when you get a few manifolds done? i'd like to ask you a few questions about them and if you will make one for an internally actuated turbo w/T3 flange. top or bottom mount does not matter. thanks!
