Whats up guys heres the Deal.. How many people would be interested
in a Stainless Steel SR20 Turbo Manifolds for $399 ???

The manifolds would be made from 1/8" thick stianless steel.
Forged and tig welded w/ 1/2 inch flanges.

The wastegate flange will be towards the middle of the 3 runners
this will help avoid boost spikes..

I am posting this for a friend who works for a big tuner/engineering
company in AZ which produces some insane fast supras..

If the interest was enough. He would start making these for
our SR20 powered cars..

The images may take a few to load but i didnt wanna make
them too small so you cant see the welds and detail.

Isn't MaxRev already having issues with keeping up with production of their B-Series manifolds? IS Geoff/Curtis trying to get into the SE-R market?

Whats up louis.. He just wants to get a consensus more or less
as to see if people would be willing to buy them.. PS he just
emailed me that they have 33 B-SERIES manifolds in stock now.
If they see theres a want for some parts to be made such as
these custom manifolds they might get into the SR20 Market...
Geoff is pushin for it...

from NJ we grew up together then one day i was ordering a hotshot

I may be interested in one in the coming months. What about an option for an external wastegate?

I have known Curtis for some time! He is a great fabricator, but he has had his fair share of mixups. Max Rev's customer service is not the greatest, but I think Curtis and Geoff both know that and try to remedy the problem as best they can. The whole Honda turbo kit thing has got Curtis pretty busy making manifolds. Long waiting times for customers means they become pretty pissed off. I know it is not Curtis' fault but they are similar to FMAX in the fact that they don't answer phones or return calls. Curtis' wife quit her full time job to help at the shop, so I will give him credit there.

My car is still being put together. My motor is a never ending story! There is something new everyday. Andris is very busy trying to get the manifold, downpipe, and intercooler piping. By no means is he or Hotshot holding up the project! It is all the machine shop. Simple tasks turn into major problems!

Once and if it ever gets done, it *should* lay down 500+ whp. I have a fully built motor a Prototype of the new HS Turbo Kit. I woudl like to run low 11's - high 10's in full street trim! I guess we will see!

How have you been?

Yeah i hear whaat your saying they are busy.. Ive been pretty
good. Helping jamie in most ways i possably can with his SE-R
getting it ready for this season as well as just working on my
car and helping friends out... Good luck gettin into the 10s Im
sure you can do it.. Ill turbo my car next year when its paid off
with payments and full coverage insurance its hard as hell to
go turbo on my salary i make now.. I cant wait till its doen in
less than a year then its gonna be sick..
