seems like decent manifold. has anyone run it? any issues? i know its an ebay brand, but it is cast so i was thinkin maybe would be better quality

BTW i searched vecco manoifold

Wastegate placement is very poor...


I suggest you do a little research before you jump the gun on that POS cast mani.

thanks for your input,

i am in the process of researching turbo manifolds

If you want a cast like that go either blox or inline pro both very good manifolds!

that is another one ive been considering(blox). this is a thread from one of out sponsers ive been interested in.

is the inlinepro onw ac/ps compatible?

A friend of mine bought a tubular manifold from them for his Supra, might i say that from the outside the welds didnt look like that they had been heated up enough and the inside of the collector was pitaful; chunks of metal, oblong curves. Took me 3 hours to clean up the manifold and i still suggested that he sold it to some other poor basterd. I know it was their cast manifold you are talking about but thats my expierence.

Garbage. as said, wastegate placement is horrible.. expect boost creep. A friend of mine ran an Inline Pro manifold, wasnt bad still not the best design. I bought a spoolin performance log manifold and couldnt be happier with it. http://www.spoolinperformance....37aa9 The manifold costs 300$ without shipping. Phil's quality is unquestionable though. You can also get a downpipe that is for sure to fit. My .02 cents

integra3586

wow, i will definetly keep that mani in mind, that is pretty damn cheap. and you say its pretty good quiality

i had to fix one that has a hole in it brand new .. low quality casting i guess.

ccfab

that will def creep. thats a repro of a drag mani.

i had a drag mani along time ago with the same placement, and it crept like a ****

yea the wastegate just cant flow enough when it is only being fed by 1 cylinder, i think the revhard mani's are a little better because the wastegate hole is shared by 2 runners. The best however as stated before are blox and inlinepro which have the wastegate fed be all 4 runners at the collector area.

JoePSI

Bottom line thers alot better bang for your buck manifolds out there. Alot of the Honda-tech sponsors have nice manis and great customer service, I had 1000 questions to ask about my manifold and probably was the biggest PITA, but Its always nice to be able to talk to the actual fabricator,

Speak of the devil, heh.

quicksilver1689

Yeah save your money and research spoolin peformance gets my vote for quality and price. You cant go wrong with there sexy mani's.

integra3586

i think im gonna go with this setup

im gettin the whole kit for $700, its a t3 turbo with an evo 8 intercooler, charge piping, 550 rc injectors Tial WG plus the manifold is ac/ps compatible

JoePSI

I would highly recommend staying away from that 'HMT' looking kit.

I'm also confused on why some pictures have a ramhorn style manifold in them, but the first one has a log style manifold. As well as, why theres a picture of a deltagate, but a tial in the first pic. Looks like two different turbo setups to me. The turbo is also different in the first picture. That turbo looks like its about had it, I wouldnt doubt that it has shaft play to hell and back, its also smaller than my colon. Conclusion, I think you are getting some scraps from two shitty turbo builds.

Stay away from cast Taiwanese/Chinese manifolds for at least another 5 years. The problem is that these countries do not have significant iron mining; they actually buy scrap metal from America by the boatload to make into new products, and they haven't learned how to make a good quality low porosity cast iron with what they have to work with.

Good for international trade, good for these developing countries (easier to melt scrap than to smelt iron), but crap for anything made of cast iron because they don't have virgin metal to work with. On the other hand, their stainless steel casting is excellent, because steel scrap is easy to reuse.

Does anyone remember the "Stone Mountain Racing" TD05 that I bought, where the turbine housing actually broke into 3 pieces when I tried to thread in the studs? (really, really, really porous)

RogueWorks

InlinePRO manifolds are great, and they are AC/PS friendly - I personally like the cast ss.

integra3586

the reason there is two different manifolds show is because, the guy im buying it from has a neukin(sp) manifold. before he sells it to me he is gonna trade his buddy, who has the log style manifold. same goes with the turbo, he only snapped a picture of the manifold so i knew what i was buying.

as for the shaft play. i will definetly check that out before handing him the money. im not sure which wastegate i will be getting.

but i think for $700 it isnt a horrible deal, but who knows, i may be wrong.

i havent set out on purchasing it quite yet. i wanna make sure its a decent kit, before i give him the money

NightRiderS2K

If you do make the purchase, you'll end up regretting it later down the road.


You'll probably yearn for more power and that "kit" will not suffice. This will cause you to scavenge for better parts which is a waste of money in the first place since you will end up selling the old parts and lose money.

But you know...It's your money.

i hear ya man. and thanks for ur input.

well the guy kinda blew me off today. so ill give him one more shot to contact me. then. ill go take a look at it. i have a feeling im not gonna make the purchase. i may end up going with the blox/master turbo combo, one of the sponsers has for $899. or i may go with a spoolin performance mani. all i know is i want a ps/ac manifold. i dont want it to be rigged(which i think this kit may be) i do believe you when you say ill want more boost. it may be down the road but im sure it will come. i may just buy pieces at a time.

the only worry i have is, finding charge piping if i purchase a turbo mani and a turbo. will i have to have it custom made?

do they make charge piping for certain maifolds? such as inlinepro, blox, etc

integra3586

honestly i think ill go with this mani, if i dont purchase this kit
linky

integra3586

how does this look? not so much the prices but more of just the parts. i figure i would definetly get the downpipe and manifold, possibly the chargepiping.

i havent really researched the prices on the other things. such as turbo, tial waste gate, and the intercooler. do those prices seem reasonable?

i already have:
oil drain/feed lines
greddy BOV
fuel managment

is there anything else im missing?

kuja

Looks alot better ;D You'll be happier. And things won't break, hopefully. Spoolin is a cool dude, i got my piping from him a while back.

i have neve liked thoes mains they crack and can cost some money for the price of that you can buy a spoolinperformance or some thing like that... i give them a
