Yea what the **** ever...that's gotta be the biggest POS I have ever seen on a vehicle.

 

LOL

 

People will never learn.

 

That **** looks dank dawg..... . That sucks....that collector is state of the art design....

 

bbbwwwahhhhhhhhh...the aftermath of that is just

 

well I was more like... Damn that collector is so ugly that they Hide it behind a kink of immitation... lol...

Kranked..

 

holy ****. ROFL

 

sucks. haha

 

Oh ****!

That really sucks man...

At least you had your trusty JC Whitney pipes holding it in place!

 

Wow. did that fall off when you were driving?

 

wow I have never seen that happen before. What a P.O.S.

 

Thanks for posting these pics! Just goes to show that all those people saying, "you never owned one so dont hate" are more wrong than right. Regardless of how well the manifold is braced, look at how cheap the welds and metal look?!

I can gaurentee I'd never give SSAC a dime and thats for damn sure!

 

oh snap, yo! Is that them new 2 piece manis everyones talking about?

 

we had that happen to a customer's turbo manifold also

 

i'm guessing you didn't brace the turbo from the block right? I know a few people around my are running these manifolds with no problems.

I'm all about Lovefab or Full-Race when I start my project. The more I read about the SS-series manifolds the more I find that they're all timebombs waiting to destroy projects .

Quality costs, but you can't put a monetary value on peace of mind .

 

Holy S%#t!!!

 

Wow...its been a while since I've seen a post from ya!

Too bad its an unfortunate one at that.

 

Did you actually think that manifold was gonna hold a damn holset anyway? i mean come on that freakin turbo is massive

 

ssac manifolds are

 

holy **** thats crazy. Looks like a job for a jb weld

man all turbos are about 25-30 lbs


lol thats a nice illustration of a cheap manifold through.


THANKS FOR THE LAUGH !!!


BTW manifold and turbo set up looks familiar. u a friend of J. davis ?

 

ya i had a feeling about ssautochrome. how long did she work before that happened? and just cuirious what mani are u going with next.

It had extra braces added to the manifold/flange as you can see, as well as a brace coming from the block to the turbo. It's just a pile of **** manifold, with weaksauce metal.

Exactly. I was *hoping* that since this car doesn't see much road time{one w/e a month racing, if that}, that it would last a while....Well I was wrong the flange cracked the first time at the 300 mile mark. After that I removed, rebraced, and re-fitted the turbo. It lasted another 500 miles before just completely falling off. This was in traffic on my way home from work. The turbo impacted my new aluminum radiator and punched a hole in it as well.

Actually that one weighs 37 lb according to the shipping weight....

Yea i'm a freind of J. Davis, we have meet regularly to smoke crack rocks.

It worked a total of about 800 miles before complete failure. My next mani will hopefully be an ERL. It's a stainless cast manifold. Due to my unique setup it's hard to tell weather the turbo will actually fit the block and chassis combination. IF it doesn't work i'll prolly be going with a totally custom manifold...

Those braces are probably 99% of the reason your manifold failed in the manner that it did. The Stainless wanted to expand between the turbo and head flanges, then it DID, and DID so destructively. A properly designed bracing system will bolt to the turbo and hold it there withOUT the manifold. Then with small pressure applied, swing out away from the block to allow for explansion.
Just thought Id share my observations...
