Im thinking of grabbing this D16 turbo manifold, seems perfect for me. Never heard of the company but it looks good and its braced.

What im worried about is clearance, it looks like its hugely tall, do you guys think this will clear my hood without a problem?

Anyone have one with it installed?




Thanks guys

looks ssautocrome good luck

Ive read about the ssac manifolds, this looks nothing like it and the wastegate flange is on the other side

What is the name of the company that makes it?

PINKS

I dunno, buyer doesnt know, called it a tasudo manifold

lucidvtec

another name for ssautochrome.....lol

PINKS

I dont think so, everything about it is different.

I dont care if it is though, I'll brace it from the block but I need flow and clearance help

looks like you'll be dealing with a lot of boost creep

PINKS

Why would it creep?

The tube comes right out of the bottom of the collector, wont creep

sounds like you dont want to hear the truth to me.

PINKS

Am I getting any facts though?

boosted k20

looks like a TSUDO manifold. i had a TSUDO header in my all motor setup. i had no problems with it, ran good. dont know about their turbo manifolds though

Let's put it this way... if it's selling for under $500, I'd just about guarantee you its crap.
I'd be willing to bet that one is going for way less, even half that.

$140!!!

Emshhh

i wouldnt buy it. but that's just me

Its design is almost identical to the SSautos... listen to people.. its probably a different batch from the same overseas supplier.

Avoid it like the plague.

And if you really can't see the similarities... get your eyes checked.

Manifold is made with T-304 stainless steel

Is this thin?

yeah, but you have to add the cost of the wastegate that will eventually drop off going down the road. Ask one of the good fabricators on this board what their materials alone cost them per manifold. You will be surprised.

Yah I dont know where these cheap companies are getting that material from but I know it costs me $26 a u bend for 16 gauge 304l 1 3/4 tubing (it takes 6 u bends to build this manifold) so the numbers just dont add up, that is 156 in material and they sell it for $140!

Not to mention flanges, and your argon, and rods. etc

I'm willing to bet you its not 16 gauge, and I guarantee you its made overseas.

But the material he lists is a strong material?

Turbo-charged

how can people not just look at these things by now and instantly be able to tell its all the same crap with some other stupid name on it? there is 40 threads on these a day

I have some reclaimed swampland at a good price you should really checkout.


Seriously.... real cheap... Money Orders accepted.

PINKS

im assuming the material he listed is standard manifold building material?
