Would anyone be interested in a Manifold, T3/TO4E 50 Trim, Tial 38mm WG and downpipe combo if I were to sell them? The downpipe would be 2.5" and the manifold is log style(JGS).

I'm getting lots of custom work coming into the shop here pretty soon and it would be easier for me to just sell this type of kit for mass production. Then you would just have to source a MSD BTM. I will also be selling the top mount fuel rails and 42lb injectors that would have been in my 10 psi kit. Just testing the waters to see what everyone would be interested in.

so your debating whether you should make the full kit or just sell a manifold/turbo/downpipe combo? i was looking forward to the kit to make it simple on me but if you decided not to make the kit i would probably end up buying that combo since i dont have the experiance or equipment to weld.

If etdracing doesn't post a followup on the status of the group buy manifold, I'm going to cancel my order and hop on this deal instead!

Chances are I'll still end up making complete kits. Its just easier for me to build each kit to the customers needs in my shop. However, once my S14 kit is completed, I'll know how difficult mass production will be.

Different trim turbo's isn't a problem, anything from a T3 to a T3/TO4 in just about any combo can be done. Although the 50 trim is far better then any other in the T3/TO4E setup.

The Turbo, Tial WG, Mani and Downpipe will run about $1500.

Again, I'm just feeling out the customer base. Thx for the replys so far.

Since you are offering some flexibility in choosing trim and A/R I am definitely interested. Always good to rely on the smart guys at NICO.

The Kit is not being banished, I just wanted to know if people would like to build there own. If I provide the basics, then they can go with cheaper used parts for the rest of the kit. IC's and injectors can be bought used for a pretty good deal nowadays. The only hard part for most people is the mani, turbo and downpipe.

WD, Would the wastegate on what you're offering be vented to open air or into the downpipe?

If possible id like it to be a bolt on kit. Where you can do it yourself with no welding and any of that stuff. I'd would also love for it to have a detailed description on how to install it. ex. what tools you'll need etc. Like a desk from Ikea.

That's just asking too much man... not that this applies to you specifically, but in general if can't figure out how to install a turbo without detailed description, you'll most likely end up blowing the engine.

I just want a partial kit that has a manifold, t3/t4 turbo, wastegate, and a downpipe. The rest is easier to make.

hey WD what about a top mount log-style manifold (i have an internal WG)w/ T3 flange. And maybe some IC pipes for a front mount, i know that the pipes that connect to the intercooler will be different from IC to IC but if u could make it co that i can "modify" *cough*cut*cough* to fit almost any FMIC (ebay ones!) for S13's is this even feasable? oh i can give u some pics of the front mount mounted and u might be able to work someting out. Whatcha think

The wastegates will be vented to the atmosphere, I suppose I can custom make a return tube though if needed.

I'll have a list of the tools required for install as well as a detailed how too, also plenty of online pics. I'll also be available by phone or email for any problems.

There is nothing to break in on a new turbo.

The manifold I'm using is a top mount log style, I can probably make you a mani for your turbo, I'll need some pics to look at though. Making IC piping for a EBAY cooler isn't to feasable. You'd be better off doing it yourself or buying the intercooler and piping from me directly.

Keep the suggestions and comments soming fella's.

Send me a pic of the turbo, Its probably the same one I'm using, so no problem. The downpipe will depend on the output flange, 5, 4 or 3 bolt style flange.

yeah i didnt think the IC piping idea was a good one so i smacked myself on the head really hard (now i have a headache and my doc says I'm internally bleeding)I found a shop owner who said ABOUT $200 for IC piping and ABOUTanother $200 for a custom log manifold for internal WG turbos, i think its a good deal anyway how much $$$ for your manifold? if u already said so on another post i didnt see it

If you have a shop that will do a custom log mani for you for 200 bucks, take the deal.

Would IC piping and an IC be offered with this? Or is that part of the entire kit specifically not offered here?
