I remember a thread about a manifold GB a while ago, can´t remember if it was log style or tubular but a Nico guy wanted to build a few.Did it happen? If not, any news of non SSAC ones? Better quality to higher price?

Sorry to post another manifold thread but always nice to hear some news.

If my memory serves me correct, I think it was over on sxoc, but I think the guy either 1) got seriously ill or 2) went into the hoispital for an extended period of time, hence the GB being held off for a few.

I will try and find the thread for you

I believe it was Not_A_Sr who was offering Manifold builds, not really a group buy more like a discount. I think he said he's building LOG top mounts for around $200.

he actually sells log manifold kits on his website. Don't ask me to link because I'm a mod and he's not a sponsor.

i got a log manifold without the turbo flange welded on for 220 shipped, pretty good price considering the metal was really thick.

No, none of it is stainless. It's just mild steel. You'd want to paint it with some high temp paint or something.

I'm pretty sure it's the same thing as an SR kit, you just flip the flange over. Regardless, you can email them and get it as well.

the manifolds were mild flanges and SS for runner materials, there are reasons for this, mainly strength. I can make them partial completed so you can place the turbo anywhere you want, leave them in bare materials kit, or make finished versions with or without external gate. i have fit up to stage3 50trims on my jig much bigger and they wont fit correctly.

i still can do them email me a [email protected] i wont list prices here, but the deal that i gave DVD stands with anyone on here. I haven't been around a whole lot since we moved in nov I've been working around the clock. in the next month i will probably be signing on to nico as a sponsor, but for now i cant afford to spend any more money on ads. im spending most of the budget on local advertising.
