Thanks Nismo

It's a Custom Design...I posted pics awhile back of me with a Widebody S15..well the guy that owns it and Stock Garage a Drift/Race shop here has them Fabbed...it's a copy from a "well known" company :D I told him we may be able to do some business...only for RED/Blacktop FR setups..

you know you've got to slap on a bigger turbo now, right Daryl? :D

those welds make me hard

Yeah mike they have (2) S14 Turbos with 69,000 klms on them down the road..I was thinking of that..this mani can support both and a GT28RS, I asked the guy so that would be the best I would do..


OneSlow1.6 - yeah it is quality work and I can get them for a pretty good price, about the same as a HS header in the states, so I will maybe help this guy get some business..

its not....

who's it made by?

who's it made by?

stock garage a local drift shop in okinawa

it's true JDM ;)

I'd go GT28R or 2871R on the 240...or that HKS GT-RS is an awesome turbo as well.

does this retain stock turbo placement so u can use all your old ic piping and stuff? i'm assuming it does right?

i think u posted up dyno sheets before too with your old set up. U shoudl def dyno again with everything the same except the manifold, same turbo, same boost, etc, and see what the diff it makes is.

It is looking like everything will line up, I had to disable the EGR unit..but couldnt finish today and will start again tomorrow...I'll start and install post separately since this isnt search friendly..my old dyno is also before the SAFC II and a few other here and there things like walbro and FPR...

I didnt know they did mandrel bends in Japan at least a small shop for a custom job anyway. I always see the slice weld technique.

you really thought that or you are joking? Brother, almost every Exhaust, Intercooler, Manifold, etc piping is Mandrel bent...This isnt something only in America..

Well I didnt realize a small shop in japan could afford a mandrel bender.

no bro, like i said above..he has them fabbed..it is "inspired" by a well known company...infact today I saw the manifold it is a copy of...the install is done but it was raining so I couldnt hit it and get a good butt dyno on the change

its made in tiawan by the same people that make everyother s13 manifold. ss autochrome doesn't even make them. they get them from tiawan, like megan racing, and 25 other places selling a $200 manifold. don't get me wrong, for the price they are worth it. nice welds, nice fit and finish too. but the metalurgy isn't good on asian metal. us metal and british metal is far better. but for the price of a good manifold, you can buy 5 of these. i'd risk it.
