I know to stay away from the ssautochrome crap... i just thought that these cast manifolds would work...

curious

 

Yeah you want to stay away from those, on the Nissan forums they said they crack real soon. I dunno how true that is but I wouldn't buy one. Definitely stay away from the turbos though

 

a buddy of mine bought one about 3 months ago. no problems yet. they seems pretty strong. dont think itl crack, but i could be wrong.

 

I have one, for over a year now. No problems at all.
Do not waste your money on the SSautochrome manifolds. I used 2 of those in less than a year, the material is too thin and always, ALWAYS cracks.

 

what about clearance issues? is the turbo tight to the block?

 

just dont buy the tubular manifold off ebay... i think the cast will hold up okay... its worth a shot. i think u might be able to find them cheap in the sponsor marketpalce

 

the WG port is poorly-placed above only one cylinder's exhaust port.

 

do it right the first time

 

wow i didnt know they had cast manifolds now...

i wouldnt trust there tubular ones, because thats what i have on my evo and i have already gone through 2...

they kept on cracking, but my buddies kept on giving me there used ones so i kept on using em

but i think it all depends on how hard ur going to run the car i wouldnt mind going with a chepa cast setup up like that because cast is ALOT stronger and last ALOT longer...

but if i was going to boost 25psi and get that thing glowing red, i would have to think about it...

I thought so too, but it works just fine. I even have one of their cheap wastegates
and it keeps boost constant at 10 psi with no spikes or creeping.
I can't say that about the SS tubular manifolds, even though the w/g was located at the collector I had creeping problems. On those manifolds, the exhaust gases had to do a 180 degree turn in order to come out of the manifold which caused boost creep at higher RPMs in my case. One thing they say about the cast manifolds which I don't agree with is that they say you can keep AC and power steering. The manifold places the turbo centered on the head and it may interfere with those parts, I don't know for sure because I don't have either on my car.
