GT30R Turbo ?'s

Does anyone make a ka24de manifold for this turbo, if so who does.

A T3 flange is all you need, homeboy. So, yes, everyone makes a manifold for this turbo. The questions is, will it fit with your setup? IE Do you have ABS, S13/S14?

I have a mani from ETD Racing that has nice clearance and good wastegate port design. My car has ABS and is an S13.

I have SSAC, and despite the flak I am going to catch, the new ones are pretty good quality.

The top mount?? Good christ, you're killing me. Did you actually look at the porting? Take some pics of it and post them. Make sure you include the wastegate flange hack job. Makes me nausious just thinking about it...lol. The bottom mount is the only way to go. I think I may just buy one, hack off the T2 flange and weld up a T3 flange and an external WG flange while I'm at it. That nets me a decent mani for like $150...lol, I can talk myself into anything.

This is what I mean, I think they whipped those little Chinese kids into shape, because mine was excellent. The ports are all so smooth you could almost run your finger across them without catching the nail. The welds are great, and assuming I didn't put too much weight on it without a flexpipe, I should have it for a while without cracking.

My only qualm with it was that I have an S13 and it would not clear the BMC like it did in their pic on an S14. So I ended up using hockey pucks to move the motor a little.

You know, KATwo40 uses one, even older than mine, and he says the same thing. I will tell you, it's actually pretty scary that the Chinese may not be building total crap anymore.

Whats scary is that we buy 80% of our steal from China...talk about getting crippled by a trade embargo. I have personally owned 2 SSAC manifolds, one of each type. The bottom was nice, the top was an ugly baby. The top was nowhere near fitting on my car with a T3/TO4E or a TO4E. I was pissed to say the least. The exhaust housings were all over the brake lines...

It appears that they've changed the angle of the turbo flange as of late. I wonder how she aligns now?
