Bro take a look at the stock manifold.turbot304 wrote:I like how that mani is tucked in, never seen that design befor, would the unequal length runners adversely effect the sweet RB exhaust note ya think ?
Since this one is a prototype we had to use a smaller nut so you can wrench on it at that part. Yes external gate, He is going to try and make it so that you can use a huge Compressor on it. He has a few Test Turbo shells around that he will use for the fitting. The Reason why it's so tight against the block is because the builder thought that there wasn't alot of room. He is use to make manifolds for FWD cars lol.http://www.3rdgearvtec.net/Pro...).JPGh ... ro...).JPGDarius wrote:I like the design and it looks robust, but my only questions are: Is there enough room to get a wrench on the bottom nut for runners 2-5? How large of a compressor can you fit on there before there's interference with the valve cover? Is there going to be a flange for an external gate?
And yes, if full-race would get off their high horse and make a manifold for the masses, maybe they'd make some money on the deal. Otherwise, I think it would be very lucrative if you could make a decent manifold at a price that is lower than the cost of a motorset.
Yea we def need something that is not $2400 nor is it a POS. Keep us posted I'm need to get a new mani soon to cut down my spool up time.Sil240 wrote:

NICE!!!If you can make those and sell them I'm sure guys would pick them up.
Because so far you have SSautocrap and Full Race.Complete opposite sides of the spectrum. lol

I do think it's good to keep the manifold close to the head simply because of the weight of a large turbo and the moment that it creates at the flange welds. That SR20 manifold looks pretty sweet!
I wouldn't mind one of those lol. I'll try to get some pics up asap. My other car just took a crap on me this weekend and I might have to change the motor damn SR20VE's aren't too cheap.Coolwhip wrote:I wonder what us RB guys are gonna want next after we get 20 different turbo manifolds floating around in the market place?
(dry sump kits!)
it's the angle I took the pics from. He keeps stuff from warping when he welds the manifolds together.240z4u wrote:Looks good!

BTW, is that an illusion or is the turbo flange not flat?
