i just purchased this manifold last night for my z6 turbo project (along with a 14b turbo). i just want to know if this is the dreaded ssautochrome manifold or not. dosnt really matter if it is or not, still gonna run it, just gonna weld in some braces, and upgrade later. thanx in advance fellas.

 

PS.. Sorry for the huge-*** pic, just wanted you guys to get a good look at it.

 

No

Do a search for SSAUTOCHROME and report back.

 

you are the proud owner of a ss manifold, or a sparks racing old school manifold

 

make sure you brace the turbo from the block...don't bother with welding little braces all over the manifold.

 

so do u mean proud as in sarcasm or proud as in, **** i shouldnt have bought this? how would i go about bracing from the block? just weld on the block itself? not really trying to do that.

 

what out its going to fall apart on you

make a bracket that goes from one of the compressor bolts to a bolt on the block

 

u get what u pay for and u just paid for junk

if u want to save yourself the headaches and pains of swapping manifolds and downtime on ur car, get another manifold, spoolin aka project dc2 makes cheap manifolds

she'll last til i save up for a good one. just need it for a daily driver, this car will never see beatings.

 

that is a ssautochrome manifold. Does anyone know if when the manifolds cracked on everyone if the people were running flex pipes on the down pipe?
