Default I'm interested to hear what you guys think of this setup...

Well, I posted this here because I am curious if guys like the look of this custom turbo setup I just built. I have been working on this turbo manifold design for the past 4 months, and finally have something to show for my efforts. As far I know, this is the only WG prioritized design that mounts the turbo in front of the block, which makes it perfect for a back door IC setup, and HUGE DP.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks!
Bryson






Multiple bolt holes to fit a variety of turbo's and housing orientations:







Plenty of drain line room:





The Bracing kit:



The manifold can easily accomidate a GT40R.


Show some love for creativity, and innovation.

Enjoi.

Thanks guys! I've been hoping to be able to produce this setup for those who are interested, but I didn't want to invest more into it if people didn't like it.

im pretty sure ive seen a front block mounted turbo setup before. manifold is unique and nicely thought out though, gj for engineering . any power advantages using that design over another with same turbo?

Of course you've seen a front block mounted turbo setup...but not one with a WG prioritized manifold. Almost all of this style of manifolds have forced the turbo to be in front of the tranny.

As for power advantages...were not exactly sure yet. We should be on the dyno in a couple weeks though. The main advantage is that it will hold ANY boost with almost ANY turbo. This style of manifold will make great midrange power at low boost with a large turbo, because these setups flow a majority of the exhaust gases out the WG.

Thanks for the kind words guys! I'm glad everyone has ignored my horribly dusty CRX I used for the fab.

yeah looks tight...is that stabilzer thing holding the turbo and manifold up? if so good design so it can flex when heating and shrinking...keep that **** from cracking. Nice work
