Does anybody have this manifold yet from the pictures cody posted on his website it looks pretty wild. I searched but I couldn't find any threads on the manifold so I thought I would start one maybe Cody can chime in on this one. Would really like to see some pictures of the install, IC pipes and one very important question how in the hell are you going to run the oil return line ?

oil return shouldn't be much different than sidewinder V1...it works great, it's just long. Upper radiator hose is probably going to be the real pita.

 

This version fits in the car MUCH better. You can see an example of what to do with the upper radiator hose.
Also, charge piping will best be routed through a "same side" intercooler, meaning both inlet/outlet is on the same side. This will minimize charge piping, and make everything less cluster-fucked in the engine-bay.
The Oil return line will only be slightly trickier, but you will have to anchor it to the block to keep it away from hot things.

 

Looks great Cody but holy downpipe

 

Okay Cody thanks for posting the pics. The price for the manifold is $1200 how much is the downpipe and do you have the option for 3in dp ? Last thing will you supply some form of brace to help support the turbo the weight of the turbo ?

Why would you run this manifold if you only plan on a 3" DP?

 

You shouldnt need a brace for this if you run a flex section between the DP and exhaust.
Downpipe prices are listed on the site, its against rules to post in here. I can make a 3" for slightly less, but the point of the manifold was to be able to run 4". I would recommend just the Mini-me if you only want a 3" downpipe.

 

But a top mount manifold is so pretty I'm just wondering how you would run the exhaust with a 4 in. dp I guess you would run another 4 to 3 in. transistion and run a full 3in exhaust back I keep changing my setup and was looking at your website and saw this I really like the idea of top mount manifold because wastegate placement is 1000% better with a top mount. I must have AC and PS not willing to compromise comfort. Good Job Cody

So Cody, are you going to sell an Intercooler, specifically made for this manifold, with a "backdoor" inlet and outlet on the passenger side?

 

wow...just awesome!!

You could always run the 4" catback that Buck02 sells, or have one made.

 

We can make an intercooler, yes.
The Wastegate will be going on the first 2" 90° bend that goes in the upward direction for production manifolds.
Also, the first two merge collectors will be 2" longer, which will help power everywhere.
These two changes should make for one very effcient, very SOLID BOOST controlling manifold. The 44mm wastegates will be standard with this manifold, as they are my personal favorite and are very nice for everyone to use, including the fabricator.
The changes are Jigged up, just waiting for two possible orders to come through before building and snapping some more pictures.

 

Looking awesome as ussual Cody

 

Id like to see one of those all set up with A/C and powersteering in an Integra with the 4" downpipe. It looks nice, but I want to see one with A/C. That would be impressive.

 

We will once this one hits its final destination, but fitment should be 10X better than these other ram-horn style manifolds considering there is a solid 2" of room between the downpipe and the radiator. On the Tegs, the radiator is the closest thing to the manifold, so its a given that this will work.
On the Civics, there might be some AC line tweaking involved right where the AC lines enter/exit the condenser, but it shouldnt be anything to get in a hussie over.
Id post pictures with the AC compressor mounted, but uh...bandwidth exceeded, yet again

 

That looks badass

 

So im assuming with this design you wouldnt have to run a half length? Would it have to be the stock size or would a Fluidyne, Koyo, fit? Also, on your car youre not running A/C correct? It looks like you dont have a condenser since your radiator is pushed in.

 

Tinker do you have any pics of a same side intercooler ??

 

Damn cody that mani looks awsome!

BTW, is that a GT40 mounted on there?

 

The radiator is tilted slightly to facilitate an easier bend for the upper radiator hose. If you can find a tight enough bend(there are some out there), you will not have to tilt the radiator at all.
The same tilt could be had with the AC condenser unbolted/or mounting brackets bent and still behind the radiator. So no half radiator required, and a Koyo or something thicker than stock could easily fit.
Its a blown SC61 mounted on there Bryson.
I do not have any pictures of a same side IC setup, but itd be the same high quality as everything else from us. And proper channeling to prevent any Xflow will be welded into place of course.

 

OK, well that sounds good. Keep us updated.

 

is it 1200 with a wastegate?

 

$1000 for just the manifold, I decided to drop the price until/if these gain popularity.
I would like to include this in my lil manifold test that we will be doing this spring with the Teg that this is pictured in(stock LS motor).

 

Hey Cody...any discount if I wanted to upgrade from Sidewinder V1 to V2...hell, I'll even send V1 back to you. jk

 

do you have a pic of the manifold so we can see how the runners and collectors join each other?
