I had SFP make me a custom manifold for my 18g with an external wastegate. Here's the pics:

 

cool, how does she run? what are you running for fuel?

 

Nice wastegate I have the same one and love it.

 

Is it a good idea to have the wastegate right by the Compressor? I'm assuming your going to be running a dump tube cause I dont see anything routing the gasses anywhere. Its looks real nice, how much did it run you and how do u go about the 18G, welding it shut?

 

Are you going to be able to use the greddy downpipe and charge pipes with the SFP manifold? If the wastegate porting doesnt work out, we are gonna have to convert to an external wastegate.

It's fine as long as you make a dumptube to route the exhaust away from the compressor inlet.

 

there is a dumptube there to rout the gases out and you just weld shut the flapper for the internal wastegate.

The manifold was $425.

that's what I thought, I just didnt see the dumptube .. Where is it ... maybe take another pic pleazzeeeeeeee

Thanks

 

How do you like your 18g ? Do you plan on sticking with it for a while ?

 

I'll take some more pics when I get home tonight to how you some better shots.

I plan on sticking with it for a while, The motor is sleeved and built to a 2.0 but I'm kinda low on funds now and it makes pretty good power for the street(325-335whp and 250-260 wtq @ 15psi) so I'm pretty happy with it for now.

 

where did you get the fans?? they look nice... and do they come single?? it looks like the one you have is a 1 piece w/ 2 fans....

 

LOL I think you're blind Fredo...the dump tube is right there in the pic

 

well I mean I think see it .. is this it. I Mean not to sound like a fool (yeah right, lol) but i thought they were all round, lol this seems kinda flat so that's why I was like .. where it at bee ..

here ...

 

those are fal fans, they work great!!

I'll try and get a better pic of the dumptube later.

 

i run an 18G on my eclipse - i like the quick spool-up and top end power but now i kinda wish i went with the T3/T04E

 

be a man and upgrade to a 20g. Or the BR580 is most awesome. Since im guessing you got the greddy 18g you can keep with the whole "bling bling" theme and get a FPgreen.

T3/T04e are great! But it sounds like your already commited to the mitsu manifold. There is alot of options for both setups.

nice set up
