Help with Exhuast manifolds!?!?

[Justin Duncklee]

Hey,

I see alot of top mount manfolds out there. What kind should I get??

Peak performance

Top Hat performance

JGYCustoms

Wasabi Garage

Ebay.

???? Which will fit into my S14??

I know people have top mounts? Please help!!!

[Coolwhip]

Ocala? or really. I'm not too far from ya.

Anyways

I would go custom. Since anything of known quality will most likely need modification to clear areas in our S-chassis'. Anything thats worth looking at on the market is gonna run you close or over $1k for a top mount. There is a guy in town that does the full manifold, downpipe, wastegate routing for around $1600. Top Notch stuff too.

But if your baller than there is always Full Race which is made to clear.

I have a Peak Performance one and love it. If you want I will post a pic of how it looks with a GT35r.

Hey, where do you live?/

And where is this shop your talking about?

Thanks!

Clermont.

The guy that does the manifolds goes by the name of "El Gato" use to do the work for Central Florida Turbo. Quality work from what I've seen.

His number is 407-943-7300

The only thing is that you need to have the turbo in hand with wastegate and leave the car with him and he builds everything off the motor while its in the car so you can have the turbo exactly where you want it as well as the wastegate.

Search for the yellow evo 8 pushing 1000hp with the manifold facing the turbo threw the grill

I'll gather up a picture of the manifold on a local's setup on his old RB.

Did the wastegate fit without any fabrication???

[Tripz]

Nope, the wastegate had to be fabricated to fit with this manifold. Any size wastegate will do, I've got a tial 44mm wastegate.

[Justin Duncklee]

Sweet

[Justin Duncklee]

Since it's a twin scroll manifold, do you have to run two pipes for the wastegate, or can you just use one???

[StricNyne]

thats impressive looking !!! how does it spool is yer turbo twin scroll ?

[Tripz]

That turbo is a single scroll. I've just recently got this setup so I'm not pushing it hard until it gets tuned (which is on Aug 29). I can tell you how it spools after my tune.

arg it's a china manifold. I knew I had seen it before hope you didn't pay alot for it. http://www.wasabigarage.com/RB_turbomanifold.html

The welds looks much darker in those knock-off manifold. I HIGHLY doubt it's any knock-off manifold. I've got this from a very well known place here that is a peak-performance dealer (www.autodream.ca). But those knock-off looks virtually identical, interesting.

[meet07]

how much is that asian manifold. I bought a similar looking manifold for my honda. They work great as long as you have all secure/solid mounts. Pretty much no engine movement.

So Peak Performance made that manifold in your pics? I really doubt that. The one Wasibi was selling or is still selling is the same thing that you have. If Peak did make it then I guess they could make it with a T3 and any wastegate you want.

[Tripz]

How can you tell if its a peak performance manifold or the one from Wasibi? I actually brought it from someone that brought the turbo, injector and manifold from autodream here in Calgary. I looked at peak performance website and they look identical..? http://www.peak-performance.ne...5/104/

I got more pics of the manifold if you want me to post more.

I'm pretty sure they are getting them from the same place. I had the link some where but I lost it now. They just buy them in bulk. I saw that very same manifold back in 04 I think it was when I 1st started my RB swap.
