for a KA24E I know it wouldn't be as good as a 4 equal length tube manifold but it should be a little better than a log style.

fyi, that manifold is designed after a z18et race manifold used by a nissan team overseas (i don't remember the name). i was going to purchase one of the originals when i had my 89 fastback. who's selling it, and for how much?

I was looking at designs for manifolds for my CA18ET. I thought of looking at designs for the KA24E and the Z18ET because the exhaust port design is the same. I found that picture at this site http://www.datrats.com.au/ENGI....html . Looking at the design it looks simple enough to weld, parts that I will need are (4)1.37" ID 1.9" CLR 0.188" Thick Wall Mild Steel 90 deg. Elbows (2) 1.62" ID 2.2" CLR 0.188" Thick Wall Mild Steel 90 deg. Elbows (1) T3 turbine inlet flange and a custom exhaust flange that I will make. looking at the design makes me think it woul be good for low and midrange power.

that's the same place i found the other manifold. this one is very similar, but it has a dump for an external wastegate and the runners look smaller. nonetheless, the design should work fine should you decide to copy it.
