Who is looking for KA-T manifolds? Group buy?
Just thinking about group buys on manifolds since a couple new ones are out or will be soon... How many people here ACTUALLY HAVE MONEY and would be interested on say, voting on a particular manifold and getting a reduced price on it?Group Buy on Manis?
here's the full information on the group buy deal
Quote »We would be happy to do a group buy on our manifold. We will only be able to do it in one style to make this price effective materials wise. Our most popular manifold material is 1010 Heat treated Mild steel. In our own testing we have found it to be much more flexible and crack resistant than 304 stainless steel and we prefer to use it over any other material. Many other turbo manifold manufacturers use 1010 mild steel as well, it's very common. All manifolds come with a 1 year warranty against cracking. We have been making manifold for various cars now for 3 years and have yet to have one come back cracked. We only offer 1 year however due to the nature of how these manifold are used.
This group buy is for 1010 Heat treated mild steel with our standard high temp spray coating (pictured on our website http://www.etdracing.com)
Group buy Pricing for 5+ Units is $499cad or $385u.s. Group buy Pricing for 10+ Units is $475cad or $365u.s. Shipping fixed for all States and Canada $35cad or $26u.s.
We have no set time frame yet for the group buy to end however 30 days from today would probably be the limit. Interested parties can email us at [email protected] or call 905-473-5022 to order. We will take a $200cad or $150u.s. deposit until the end of the group buy then all remaining money will be charged depending on the number of people who buy in. If less than 5 people buy in the group buy will still proceed at $525cad or $405 u.s. so obviously the more the better!
Thanks again! Jim ETDRacing.com [/quote]Obviously dont call and place your order just yet, we need to get people together and make sure this can work before we start demanding the group price from him. But here it is guys... watcha think?

with a wastegate dump too??Looks like a pretty nice manifold, definitely better than the JGS and fits well with the budget of people not wanting an actual equal length. On another note, FA are Nazi's: http://forums.freshalloy.com/u...art=1
alright, well people who are SERIOUSLY interested, please email me or IM me (email: [email protected] , AIM: foosternit). I'll add you to the master list. This way we can know how much we're gonna have to pay ahead of time, and then just send in our deposits all on one day.
This means you, fastpace!

OKAY. I've been getting a lot of questions from people all over the different boards, so I'll just anticipate some of your questions and post the answers here:
It IS in fact the camera angle that makes it look like you're gonna hit the distrib with a pipe to the turbo inlet. Here's a better pic:
and here's what Jim said about it:
Quote »It is definately the camera's angle that is making it look like that. A picture is worth a thousand words so have a look at the attached. Yes you can use a straight pipe if you wanted to it will clear, though a 45deg pipe might look a little nicer and point the filter towards the spot behind the headlight a bit better. Either way will work.[/quote]Also, the manifold is designed to have the turbo top mounted OR bottom mounted with no modifications, so if youre still not convinced for some reason (I dont know why you wouldnt be...), you could bottom mount your turbo as well.
Jim says:
Quote »We made the manifold so that the turbo can point down or if you want to move the resivoir point it up, it's your choice. We notice that some guys point down some point up so we made it so that you can do both.[/quote]And lastly, concerning size, I'll just quote Jim right here:
Quote »The material is 0.127 thick which if I remember correctly is equivelant to a sechedule 80 pipe though I would have to go back and look at the chart to be sure. Most manifolds that use crappy material are maybe .070 to .080 which is why they have problems with cracking etc.[/quote]I hope this answers everyone's questions. If there's anything else, please dont hesitate to get back to me, I'll figure out anything you need.
And remember, IM me (foosternit) or email me ([email protected]) if you want in on this deal. I sent in my deposit today: this is definetly a go.
EDIT: By the way, the deposit is $200 CANADIAN, which is about $150 something american... just so ya know.

WD Racing said that he might be able to fab up a downpipe for this if someone was willing to send him their mani for him to work off of (scroll up). Lemmie check up with him and see if I can get some details on it.
As far as getting stainless or the ceramic coating, I think you're going to have to ask Jim about that. The ceramic might be possible, but I doubt the stainless- since hes going to be doing this in one batch type deal. I donno though, call him and find out.

CORRECTION:
This manifold does NOT bolt on both top mount and bottom mount!! I misunderstood Jim and I'm sorry... Heres the deal from the man himself:
Quote » It's positioned so that the compressor outlet can be pointed sideways towards the power steering reservoir like some guys do and they move it, or point down and run under the intake pipe. The turbomanifold is not ment to bottom mount the turbo, it will not work that way. Nobody would want to bottom mount the turbo anyways, we have designed the manifold to give more than enough room for a 3" downpipe and lots of clearance between the turbo and the master cylinder.[/quote]Sorry about that guys, I hope this doesnt change anything for anybody.
