Posted by happythoughts47, Aug-12-04 01:54 PM
Hi my name is Jason. I and my partner Garrett have our own business. We produce turbo manifolds for the eclipse with the 420a engine aswell as manifolds for Neons and Cavaliers.

All our manifolds have laser cut flanges
thick mandrel bent corners
These manifolds will not crack like some of the others on the market.
Prices are $186 plus $25shipping

Please check them out on

We don't have all our pics up let, but we are continueasly updating.

Thanks Jason

Is it me, or does that mani look like it will put the turbo too close to the radiator hose?

The pic on our website is of a neon manifold. We are temporary using it as sample so people can see the quality of our work. The eclipse manifold is exactly the same other than the flange for the turbo is moved to the opisite side of the manifold. Our manifolds will fit just fine.


Thanks Jason

get some pics up of what you can do for a external gate and im confident you'd get a lot of business, mine included. also if any way possibly an excellent idea is finding a test engine and mounting it and taking a picture, that shit sells so just do it...



edit: these are tig welded right?

We can put on a flange for a external wastegate, thats no problem. It would be a extra $15 for a external wastegated manifold.

I am now going to do a group buy

Group buy of 5 $205 shipped
Group buy of 10 $195 shipped
Group buy of 15+ $190 shipped

I will post it on the group buy forum.

That minifols will not work on the 2gnt....no doubt about it.

The tubo flange must be mover to the center or to the #3 cylinder (for star guys).

That is a neon manifold.

Yes that is a neon manifold. The eclipse manifold will have the turbo flange moved to the right location. We just used those pics for now so people could see the quaity of the product. The manifolds are the same other than turbo mounting position.

GREAT prices! just hope the quality is good right? sell them and prove them.... I will buy an equal length turbo mani.

The quality on our manifolds is very good.
The flange is laser cut. The corner's and t's are thick. The manifolds are welded with a wire that allows it to expand with extreme without cracking. Our manifolds will not crack like some of the other manifolds on the market.

here's another newcomer with generic manifolds

3/8 thick laser cut flanges ... how many here bought a manifold from motofool or actually a manifold sold by motofool but built by Lazarus and got one with a not warped flange ?

those manifolds cost much less because those 3/8 flange cost nothing to do they are on sale on ebay all the time for less than $25

3/8 is too thin , my flanges are 1/2 made on real CNC and milled to be true
and those generic laser cut flat steel plates don't have pocket around the ports to make the pipping sit INSIDE the manifold like mine have for years

BTW those pipes are mild steel weld ELS and not mandrell bent

and how can you say that your manifolds will not crack ?
you've been doing them for years or just a few weeks ?

sorry but when you pay less, you have less there's no trick here

We manufacture our manifolds on site. We do not buy flanges from ebay. 3/8" flange is well suited for turbo manifolds. Its not as heavy as 1/2" flange and it will not warp when installed and used. Also our flanges do not come warped, so this is not an issue.

By mandrel bent we mean it is the same size through the corner. No crush bends. We can say our manifolds will not crack because I have had one on my neon for well for a year. I have even run the engine lean, and with a temp at over 1600 degs. Still no cracking.

There is no trick. Our profit is low and we hope to sell larger quanitys. Are manifolds are the best value for your money, and they work perfectly. Its up to the customer if they want to pay more for a manifold that functions the same.
