lf: ca18det manifold

[matty]

loking for an atermakret manifold for my ca18det.

not interested in ssautochrome, xs power, or any ebays stuff.

trying to locate others but failed.

anybody know where i can find something?

well what are you looking for. these engines don't have much aftermarket and if you are looking for something trick then you are going to either have to have someone make it for you or make your own. also are you looking for a t2 or t3? top or bottom. log or what? cast or tubular? you have to be a little more specific.

I know of a place, makes a nice *** manifold. Umm, Its in UK or somewhere, anyways I have a picture of it. If I can figure out how to host it here, Id put up the pictures.

Heres another pic of it. Hope you like. I might be able to direct you if you like it. Youre gonna spend over 400 though thats for sure.

also if you choose a t3 you are going to specify if you are going internally wga or external wga?

[matty]

looking for something bottom mount that will utilize the oem turbo location

so a t25/28 flange

where was that company that made your manifold, the custom one from uk?

any contact info on them?

thanks alot guys

Thats what that manifold is, i believe the company is on http://www.sxoc.com They are called Frenchweapon. Great manifold, those pics I showed you were pre-production manifolds. the final ones look much better.

I dont have their number, but when you are actually dead serious about getting one, or anyone for that matter. I will find you their info. Right now, you can search http://www.sxoc.com BTW, that site has a 1 time entrance fee to pay or something.

Trust (Greddy) made very nice stainless manifolds but they were bottommount with a long wastegate tube that will likely smack your steering shaft.

HKS made a bulletproof topmount cast iron unit with a bottom-mounted wastegate that may do on a LHD car.

Several smaller independent companies in Japan make nice stainless units for internal wastegated turbos.

The CA is such an old-school motor though you are hard-pressed to find things anymore.

Those Trust/Greddy ones come across ebay often, way overpriced often as well. They have issues with cracking as that long wastegate tube puts a lot of force on the collector.

Always overpriced, though I did come across a 50$ one.
