where is the freaking pic of it on the engine, says its great for ka24de replacment swaps but I want one with a T3 flange

Post by **Nismo1182** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

Might want to cut and separe the ports a bit so when the manifold expands it wont crack.

Post by **Notchbackca** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

says it has a lifetime warranty against cracks, I think I am just gonna go ahead and custom order one with a T3 flange and see how it goes, they emailed me and said that they fitted it only to two vehicles

Post by **Myetball** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

Hmmmm, that looks like it would even fit well on a FWD application. Be interesting to see how much it goes for. Anyone have price for a direct order?

I just emailed them about a group buy... told them there were quite afew interested CA guys on here, and wanted to know if they'd consider it. I also asked about the possibilty of different flanges being available and whatnot...

checking out their website, they charge $300 for the SR manifolds, so I'd say thats what they'll want for one of these (out of auction). I'll let you guys know what I hear back from them:)

So how much was that log

:chainsaw manifold being advertised for?

Post by **float_6969** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

It looks pretty nice. The only thing I noticed is that it isn't really an equal length mani. 3&4 are equal, but 1&2 aren't. And I shouldn't say that, they all look equal except #2. It has a shorter path than #1 does. See how they combined 1&2 and 3&4 together? It's kinda like a 4-2-1 kinda thing. Anyway, I thought I'd point that out...

Post by **quest** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

waste of time sweating that equal length stuff for a street turbo header. I'd go for a manifold with no sharp 90°, or any 180° bends and definitely none where flow from runners collide dead on. Merging all runner flow to a collector seems ideal for spool and topend.Ever see the exhaust manifolds on a Buick GN ? U get face-distorting torque as soon as u mash it - their header is far from equal length.

KA guys have been hacking the ssauto SR header flanges off, and boosting on 'em. One KA guy bought a used cracked one for $100, hacked it and couldn't be happier..... guess these guys didn't feel like waiting for ssauto to 'serve' them. hehehe

ryan you are correct, and they don't call it an equal length manifold if you notice the auction title

the SR manifold on the other hand is called "equal lenght manifold" whereas the CA one is just "race manifold":)

they make a KA one too but its alot more expensive than the SR one!

Equal length manifold makes a diffrence though. My friend with a KA-T has gone thru 3 manifolds and the one he has now is a tubular equal length and he said he noticed a big diffrence with spool up time and top end.

nice.... to bad i dont have a ca yet

Post by **USDM_OneVia** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

I'm down for the group buy if it materalizes. My T28 needs a new manifold

Joe

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

who else... would be nice to have a # here! come on guys, tax returns are right around the corner :pface

tubular manifold and forged pistons group buys seem like something quite afew people have mentioned! we need to get organized on this to possibly save ourselves some money:)

I'm in too for the GB on the Manifold depending on the price, and the shipment cost to CANADA ?? :\

Post by **Rookie_ca18** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

I'd be interrested in a manifold for around $300, it sounds like a good idea.

Post by **float_6969** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

Count me in...

Post by **slw240sx** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

i dont think its goin to fit

Post by **CA19DET** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

well it's "nice" but i think they should have used the SR version and just made the flange different, thats what mine is, its jsut a duplicate of the SR SS autochrome (OBX) manifold with a CA flange..

and also the SR20DET ones go for $150 ....

CA18 turbo mani ~

SR20 turbo mani ~10.75 runners (very close to equal lenght)

Beggars can't be chooser's?

Post by **PacManVR4** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

Im gonna wait on one till I have some built in the future than offer a GB...

Post by **nab911** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

Im in for it depending on price and if they can make it with a t3 flange...

Post by **diamondstar36** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

Same here. Depending on price, I'd be interested.

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

sorry guys this appears to be the only one they made right now. if response is good they will be making more...

from the email they replied back to me with:Quote »We will have more in stock in about 30 days or so This is only a one time deal on this one Thanks![/quote]so everyone EMAIL THEM!:)

Sean

Post by **tru** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

What is the email? and what do you think about a top mount flange? It would be really nice no?

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

its in the auction... I don't remember off the top of my head:)

Sean

Post by **dareo** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

very cool, now i want a CA again. i was turned off before due to lack of manifold choices but sweet!

Post by **Myetball** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:27 pm

Alright.....WTF happened. Last I checked bidding was up to over $400.....I check again and it says SSAC ended the auction early.

Holy crap! It was bound to happen.... SSautochrome CA headers.
