Default Have about $500 bux to start a custom turbo project, whats a good inexpensive manifold?

I really don't wanna spend all the cash for a RevHard or Inline Pro Tubular, etc....I am not looking for a 10second car right away, but I would like suggestions on what would be a good manifold for a t3/t4 turbo for my b16, and not cost too much.

Thanks for the help guys!,
mike

good and cheap are hard to do in this game...

try revhard mani..thats around 400. for the best cast one go w/ inlinePRO ...its built to last, contact Arturbo for prices.
then theres equal lengths...u got some pics..none of which are cheap..full-race, hytech, rps...

if you want cheap just find a used revhard or inlinepro. The other cheaper ones will break on you and you will have to keep getting them rewelded. you will end up spending more in the end. Just get a revhard or inlinepro, it really will be the cheapest route to take in the end.

I'll sell you my drag manifold for a b-series.

It may not be the best, but 300 shipped, has 10k miles on it, no cracks.

I think the $500 was for just a manifold... to get things started.


at least I hope hes not trying to get a full kit for $500.

buddy.. you ARE camp1320. do you not realize that everyone on here knows its you and that you are giving yourself props?? go back to work at revhard tom.
this kind of stuff should be sent through PM only, no need to post on my thread...this doesn't help me get my turbo project started , nor is it fair for the person you are slandering especially for them to have to try to defend themself in a thread.(which is mine )

thanks,
mike
