Using a stock turbo car's turbo manifold?

[andrave]

umm, nismo 1003 WTF are you talking about?you can get just the parts for pretty cheap, around 150 bucks.You can get the whole manifold welded except for the flange for 250 bucks.And yes, you could piece together the elbows your self and cut the flanges from sheet but thats pretty hard to do, and if you want to buy the flanges they aren't as cheap as you apparently think. I'm not aware of anywhere where you could purchase a ka24DE flange and a T04 flange together shipped for 50 bucks, let alone the additional plumbing.

what I was saying is that homemade manifold vs Jgstools . ? ok if u get one from Jgstools, you still have to find a way to weld the flanges and the runner ( wasteage if needed) on to the manifold. might as well you do the whole thing youself for less than 250, that was my point. A complete Jgstools Manifold would cost more than 340, how do I know, cuz I talk to the guys on the phone . and here is the material they used: for Two elbow Schelude 40 1/2 cost only 10 , and two T schelude 40 1/2 inches cost 20.00 and the running cost maybe 4-5 bucks, and a thick plate for 10 bucks the most , T3 flange for 24? ? how did u come with 150?

YEs, actually JGstools do sell the flanges for our engine K24DE , thta'ts under engine exhaust manifold flange. the flange that they said for our car it listed cost 59.99 Inline 4, but u always can make ur own exhaust flange.

Andrave , Do u have a Jgstools manifold or have you seen the real thing? not try to be mean or anything, but after I got the manifold, I dind' feel like I should pay that much for it , I could have got complete manifold around the same price , that may be cost little more, but save some time and trouble!

I have seen them before, yes. They are like any other log style manifold made from mild steel. I think they are worth the price.I would also have to ask that you quit post whoring, what is up with that? you post and then 5 minutes later post again (and again and again). You can just edit your posts and save us all the replies. Anyway, what do you mean where do I get my numbers?dude go to their webpage, they have prices up in black and white.Here is for the preassembled log style manifold for the 240sx:"INTERNET CUSTOMER PRICING-
