I live in Medina ohio if you know where that's at. It's not horribly far from dayton. If a "good deal" is involved i can't really pass that up. I'd be more than happy to donate my car. Shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] *edit* Oh, and i even have a nice shiny t3/t4 that i haven't yet gotten a chance to put on the car. You could use it to help figure out how the manifold is gonna place the turbo lol.

Yeah, I could donate my car as well if needed. The manifold looks good and I'd definitely be interested in getting my hands on one. I was also curious though, once you got the exact design for the manifold completed and all fits fine, would you be willing to sell one as a kit? When I say this, I mean all the correct pieces, but it just needs to be welded. I have a good welder here that I get stuff done for cheap.

thats great but those are T2 flange bottom mount if I'm not mistaken... I read through the thread.

CA needs a top mount T3/T4 flange thats better than SSAC.

if i for sure had say 5 people lined up ready to seriously purchase, i could schedule some time to build these, but as it is right now i just dont have the time to build a one off or two. i have three orders for Dodge neon DOHC manifolds, 2 -3,4L GM FWD headers (which are Hell to build), and 2sets of 3.1L GM fwd headers to be built (also hellish to build), on top of a few other turbo kits we manufacture on and off. i would love to help out the CA crew since im now in the position to. back when i first put my motor in i never thought i would be doing this for a living, but i was lucky to walk right into this career and start my own shop.

you'd have to talk to Frenchweapon about it, doubt you'd get anything before august though

Sideways danny, just out of curiousity, you wouldnt have happened to been featured in fast fours now would you? A while back.....

Probably not.

NotaSR- If a prototype manifold was built and i agreed with the design,quality of manifold, I would definitely buy one. Look at this thread and the number of posts generated by it. 5 people would be a cakewalk.

Like kouks said, if there was a prototype that I could ooo and awww at I would jump on this in a heartbeat. No1 doubt your ability or craftsmanship. Just wanna see one mocked up. Though if its anything like the one in the other pic I'm down. But, I understand where you are coming from you dont want to take on another task on top of what you already have to do without any real buyers setup. Keep us posted.

If anyone would like to buy one of the manifolds(bottom mount however) from Frenchweapon for the ca, read through that thread, look at the manifold, and maybe we could get some more going through them. Buffy is seeing how much they are for us in the U.S. If you want something other than xspower(which I have), this is the way to go. Beautiful design. the manifold isnt finished, hence the welds.

I'm interested in Frenchweapon's bottom mount manifold. Put him in touch with me!

I investigating a lead right now on a manifold from out of Australia from a company called Roguepi....Found them on eBay of all places but it looks to be much better than the SSAutocrap ones: 3mm walls, SS321 (i think, cant remember w/o looking again) and has an incorporated stiffening bracket from the head flanges to the turbo flange. Not too bad on price, but shipping to the US is going to be a *****.

I'm thinking about sending a stainless flange into G-dimension and having them tig it to one of their SR jigs for T4 top mount and 40mm external. I should call and find out how much that would cost.
