Re: Full-Race equal length A/C compatible manifold... (FFgeoff)
that looks almost identical to mine with the exception of the wastegate,i use a internal wastegate. 
i also kept my a/c,it was hard,but i managed to weld my own 2.5 inch downpipe,alot of cuts to make it bend so smoothly,also,i paid just $91 for it shipped on e bay,lol.

i believe the cost is around 850 - 1000..do a search on FFgeoff and you'll find the pricing.

Very nice, but doesnt look like you could fit a filter on that bad boy. Guessing that that is for a daily driver because of the ac comment and I think most people use a filter on their daily drivers dont they? Very nice anyways.

Re: Full-Race equal length A/C compatible manifold... (SPEED123)
I dont really plan on making any more of these as the turbo positioning takes so much time, is quite a pain in the ***.
The price was 975 for this and i did it for richard becuase he was one of my very first customers, sorry to be a tease but its probably going to be one of a kind.
I dont think it could crack. I posted a few weeks ago about the material it is made out of and it is 6 times thicker than most turbular manifolds. Here is the pic again if you are interested:
spare me the dirty finger nail jokes this time please guys, my girl doesnt let me hear the end of it... (i think that too many ppl with clean fingernails should not be mocking those with dirty ones, they are dirty for a reason
)

Re: Full-Race equal length A/C compatible manifold... (CovertFI)
good eyes, but the second one is actually forged, cast. (cast first then forged). As a result it is not extruded and work hardened, something which makes the already thin wall tube even weaker.
i think you could pick a car up from this manifold and it would not fail. the word "Overbuilt" definately applies.

You dont live in texas. Geoff, that is exactly what Im looking for in a manifold. I want to keep my ac and have an equal length but have yet to find one. Plus, if they do allow ac, they are made of the very thin material that sucks and will crack within time. If you ever choose to make another please let me know.

Re: Full-Race equal length A/C compatible manifold... (Arturbo)
well the other part of this manifold is that you cant put a filter on it. Richard runs a screen mesh on his turbo, and becuase of the clutch slave cylinde ther eis no way to get a filter on it...
On the other hand if you were willing to put your wastegate on the turbine housing, i could move the turbo up and then allow you to keep the a/c..... well contact me in privates as usual art, if you really wanted i could figure something out for ya.

Re: Full-Race equal length A/C compatible manifold... (Ltech)
So Geoff, are you sure you don't want to make anymore? I'm in Florida the "burn me up" state and would love a race mani and still keep the exhaust.

Re: Full-Race equal length A/C compatible manifold... (symba)
sorry, i dont have any h23 flanges, or a car with an h23 to prototype on. Im trying to stick just to the b series and 4g63. I especially dont want to make a manifold and have it either not fit or claim to let you keep a/c and not come thru.
sorry
sorry

That's ok..I really appreciate your honesty..Guess I'll be going with the MaxRev. Do you know when it will be available for H23?
