co cheapie ebay stuff either reall quality ****.......i mean parts. these can really be called parts.not like ssauto****..........

[Brandon93240]

Yeah their products are great quality. The manifold they make is made in Puerto Rico in a factory that makes many OEM cast iron manifolds. It is an exact replica of a Revhard. A good friend of mine has one on his s14 with a t4. I slotted the runners, reshaped the ports and gasket matched, had it Swain coated and has been holding up fine with no leaks or problems for over a year at 21 lbs of boost.

[fuzionfuka]

do you have pics of your work done to that manifold?

why did you have to do this to the turbo manifold, or was it for more power etc?

what if i dont have it slotted, ported etc?

what do you mean gasket matched?

[Brandon93240]

I may have some pictures of it. You slot the flange between the runners that bolts to the head to allow for expansion/contraction so it doesn't warp our cause an exhaust leak. The runners come round on the manifold, I just matched them to the squarish ports of the stock head. I also gasket matched the cylinder head, if the head isn't apart on off the car you can disregard this step. Since the manifold is configured for a t3/t4 the stud holes for the t3 I deadbolted(insert a longer than needed bolt into thread, tighten, cut off what sticks out). Then he sent it to Precision Powder Coating to get it coated.

IM IN VA , who would i take it to to have that done?

[Brandon93240]

I don't know any speed shops up there, maybe someone else can chim in on that one.

[fuzionfuka]

any performance shop can do it?

[Brandon93240]

I don't know about just any, but if they have done any turbo cars or imports I don't see why not.

[Florida240sx]

Their prices are ok. Nothing special though.

[fuzionfuka]

NOT just prices, the quality seemd eally good. and its like 80-90dollars more than a cheap ssautochrome and etc. They have really cheap fmic 2, not johnny race car stuff.

I checked out the intercoolers and they appear to be made MUCH better than anything sold on ebay. I might try one out when I finish gathering my KA-T parts.

Damn your in hoodbridge? Were practicaly neighbors dude. I could slot the runners and port the manifold out for you if you wanted. That manifold looks really nice btw.

Lol i found this on that webpage i thought it was kinda funny. Under the bulleted section of the specific info for the Ka manifold. At first i read lifetime warranty and thought that was sick, then i saw the other warranty hehe. Who knows what thats about.

1 year warranty! 91-98 Nissan 240SX SE (North America) 93-01 Nissan Altima (North America) Nissan S14, S13 (Japan, Australia) Lifetime warranty!

Edit - Wow the more i look at that webpage the more i like their company. They have a really good deals on silicone, mandrel bends(SS and aluminum), T-Bolt clamps, aluminum oil return flanges, and some other stuff.

I lived in Manasas as a kid, Billton also. It is a good quality manifold. Decent fitment all around with a straight t4. It really is for a topmount setup, you probably could get a small t3 to bottom mount with it but I'm unsure. There intercoolers are good also, a friend has one in a Mustang and I've seen it first hand.

Does anyone else think of the Bourne Identity when they see Treadstone?

I was thinking the same thing....

Totally...which is why it's a "supercool" manifold...lol.

Incase you guys didn't catch this about the Revhard and Treadstone manifolds.

This is from Teadstone..."This manifold has to be used with a T4 on center turbine housing, as seen in the pics above. Fitment problems will be encountered when using a T3 or tang T4 turbo. "

So you have to use a On-center turbo...you won't find these on ebay for cheap. So you'll be buying a regular Turbonetics or Garret unit...make sure to figure that into your budget.

This is why I'm not using a treadstone... I've heard a lot of good things about these manifolds from a lot of different people with a lot of different applications. However, finding a decently priced on-center turbo is not an easy task.

[krazydriver]

For the record. I had a treadstone manifold, very beefy nice construction. (As was mentioned it is just a revhard copy).Now i do have an S13 which remarkably has ABS, and with the oversized brake master/booster assembly the turbo wouldn't fit with the treadstone so ended up selling it and getting a JGS mani.

I have seen pics of people who have fit both the revhard and treadstone manifolds though. So if you don't have ABS and get a shorter booster, I'd think you could fit a standard tangential turbo.

Their intercoolers look good...

yep this manifold may be superior to my ssac manifold as far as sturdiness, but as far as turbo placement-my t3/t4 will STILL be mm's away from the master cylinder.

UNLESS a t3/t4 bottom mount setup can be done but that just sounds like a *****.
