If you got the money full race makes one

alloutmotor

full-race=cheese..

you probably could find a used rev hard or any other cast manifold for cheap..just make sure to inspect it for cracks....search through the Force induction classifieds

Greddy mani retains A/C.

Check out the Drag manifold. I have a Drag 3 kit and the manifold allows me to keep AC (had to do a little trimming of the fan shroud but nothing major).

regular log manifold does not let you keep the ac. you need one from http://www.lovefab.com it'll let you keep the ac. if you'll take ac out, you can have mine for $150 shipped. never installed and good condition.

i think i'm gonna go with the lovefab shorty. $300 but good manifolds are expensive, and the manifold is a very important component of your setup. this thing flows very very well.

Any 4-bolt I believe. So yes, those will fit.

he'll weld the flanges for turbo you got for you. so you gotta let him know what turbo you got.

thrty8street, search for ssautochrome at search section. many people have bad experience with those ebay manifold.

I thought someone on here made an adapter so you could keep it. Not positive though.

Soccerking3000

cause i really would like to keep a/c even though it robs hp and torque it feels soooo good and i already got the hf mani and the t25 turbo so there is no going back

HXMan

That manifold will break in no time.

what do you mean by break? crack maybe? why?

Soccerking3000

isn't it cast iron i could see it maybe cracking but i would only run 6-8 psi

luti

I don't think it's really boost related (the breaking that is). I think it's more to do with the weight of a heavy turbo/downpipe hanging from it along with the added heat of a turbo will eventually cause it to crack (around the welds I'd guess). You might be able to avoid this by adding a brace to go from the turbo to the block somewhere but why bother, just start with a better flowing safer manifold.

Soccerking3000

i have looked everywhere for a t25 mani for a d16 and nothing has turned up and/or they are extremely expensive or custom made

boostsohfast

If you look closely in the first picture you can see that the mani comes braced. I personally have seen one of those in person though and they are crap. The collector is absolutely hideous.
