Will this work? I know it says for ca18det, Does anybody have this one. I was wanting to get a manifold before I put the motor and transmission back in. If so, I'll order it tomorrow. Thankshttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

I'm pretty sure Ed just got this exact manifold for his car... maybe he'll chime in on the fitment and quality.

Generally referred to as an SSAC, or SS Auto Crap manifold. Some people have had fitment problems. Mine's been on my car for almost 2 years now w/o a problem.

Don't mean to bump an old thread, but it's better than making another I guess ....So with your manifold, which o2 housing and downpipe are you using? I was thinking of going with greddy's o2 housing with a Megan downpipe with the flex pipe, but I'm not sure if I'll have clearance issues with that setup.

My SSAC top mount broke a weld at the external wastegate flange. It seperated at the collector. Going to get it welded and braced tomorrow.

Those are the spots I had my fabricator reinforce! No more leakes now.

i've got the same top mount ssautocrap manifold but i've yet to decide if i want to use it in place of my log. When does boost start to build, when do you see full boost and well what's the boost?

I am creating full boost around 3400-3600rpms. Start building boost around 250-2600rpms too.

I am only running 10psi and a T3/T4 .50 trim.
