Ebay alert: Greddy turbo manifold for CA18DET

Finally a well made manifold for our motor. Besides the Mitsu turbine, what other parts are need to use this manifold? Looks like the flanges and location is totally off from stock.

yea i had one of those complete kits

[themadscientist]

haha! "external wastegage" we need to measure the waste, but not internally.

FYI, that will only fit Mitsu turbos that are using a GREDDY turbine housing. All mitsu turbos use a 4-bolt flange similar to a T3.

Oh, well lemme just run down to the hardware store and pick one up...

So whats the deal with the long seemingly extra pipe that comes out the firewall end?

[NeedCAforS13]

thats where the external gate goes...

[JDMSIL80]

^Does the wastegate then connect to the dump pipe?

[CA19DET]

i have one of those, i simply cut off the mitsu 3 bolt flange and welded on a T3 flange, i also modified the wastegate pipe as mine was cut/modified in japan... T3/T4's will fin under ther no problem, gotta notch the mount heat shield, and the angle you put the T25 or T3 flange on there would negate your steering rack clearance on you LHD's.

me, i would love to get another and weld a T25 flange on there and get GT2871R .64 T25 and a Greddy WG that would bolt up to the EX WG flange...

sounds great... nice big runners.. A+

EDIT thats not a TRUST GREDDY one, IMO, the one i got has a textured finish to the flange, and its got TRUST embossed on it, also the runners are made of one pipe, not cut and welded like that one... be carefull.. the material looks different also,.. i know allot of JDM comapnies made copies.. might be one.. might still eb a good buy too

[c-rad]

Yeah, I don't think anything that sits that far back in the motor is going to work with LHD cars. I guess that eliminates about 95% of this forum....

[JDMSIL80]

I have a RHD 180SX, but I already got GT28R and all my SSautocrap exhaust components. Getting that Trust manifold fit will require more parts and modifications, doesn't really worth the trouble IMO unless it makes a HUGE power difference.

[NeedCAforS13]

it doesn't

[cortina-mk1]

ca19det...your correct and noticed the same as methe finuish just dosent look the same and mine too had trust on the gat flange

I thought the vendor is a reputable ebay seller, can't believe they're selling knock offs and called it a geniune JDM Greddy.

They probably have no idea its fake....unless they sell a bunch of them......but since they sell "one of a kind" type items they probably have no idea and assume its genuine. If it were "new old stock" and never used it may be more obvious to the seller its a fake.
