Manifolds

[virus77]

You think the rev hard manifold is better at $400 or the JGStools one for $200 or whatever it is. Also can you use teh JGS for a top mount setup.

[den240]

The RevHard MUST be better (I have one I need to sell.... $350...)

JGS can be configured for either top or bottom mount.

If you want my revhard, let me know:

350 shipped i might take it, shoot me an email [email protected], we can discuss, you take paypal?

if you can weld decent i would go with the jgs. that way you can put the turbo where ever you want and you save money

btw i run a revhard and havent had any problems what so ever. jstu make sure u get a turbo with an on center turbine

[virus77]

does the revhard flow significantly better, or have any real performance gain over the log.

Isnt the on center housing a drawback

[virus77]

Just realized the manifold is drilled for a T4. I want a 50 trim T3/T4, can a redrill the correct holes in the manifold, if not what other good manifold are there on the market with a T3 flange.

[den240]

Should be no problem to redrill for T3, just make sure it is on-center housing on the turbine.

I think Revhard now drills them for T3 and T4 mounting holes.

not enough to worry about. there's like a 1% drop in efficiency when using an on center turbine.

my revhard and i think if not all then definitly most are tapped for t3 or t4

[virus77]

I was originally going to buy my turbo from cheapturbos.com, but the t3/t4 doesnt say its on center. Where can I find a t3/t04 50 trim .63 a/r turbo thats on center, if you guys know this will save me. isnt the t3 turbine housing small enough compared to a t4 so i dont have to get a on center housing? Thanks for the replies i want to get this turbo project on the way

call ken at cheapturbo.com and tell him you want an on center housing. it might be like $50 more. i think nathan sent his tangential housing back to get a on center from cheapturbo

[den240]

I think that some of the RevHard mani's are tapped for both T3 and T4, this one is only tapped for T4.

I started to drill a pilot hole (see extra hole started on the turbine mount flange in the pics?) to tap for T3 before test-fitting my turbo onto this thing and finding that my normal (not on-center) tubine entry would make mounting onto this manifold extremely difficult.

[virus77]

alright sounds good, is there anywhere else to get the turbo i want or is cheapturbos the only place, I think it seems impossible to find the right trim turbo on ebay. Where did you guys get your turbos from?

- also where can i purchase a rev hard manifold, hopefully one thats already tapped for T3

i have a jgs log manifold for sale. its almost complete. runners are all welded you just have to weld the flange on the manifold. email me([email protected]) if you are interested. $200 shipped.

[SHIEF]

IAP....that is all.

[Structure240sx]

IAP is not all, add about $700 to that then you got IAP

Mostly right, I traded for a 5 bolt outlet precision turbo exhaust housing. Its not actually on-center, but its more so than the usual garret 4 bolt style. I know it works on IAP mani's, which are down to 550 now. I dunno about others. It was a $65 charge to upgrade (if you can call it that) to the 5 bolt housing. Ken will know what you need though, its a pretty common thing to have to switch out
