105723, 420a turbo manifold almost done.......
Posted by AMM, Jan-26-09 07:48 PM
ill probably have pics up later tonight but heres the story........ a mamber on tuners wanted me to build him a new turbo manifold for his already boosted 2gn talon. i already built him an intake mnaifold so now he just waiting on the exhaust side of things. i didnt have a mock up car and he wanted it to be the same positioning as his current manifold so the DP wouldnt have to be modded so he pulled it off and jigged it up and sent me the jig to build the manifold on. well its finally all tacked up and ready to weld. hes runneing a t3 hot side with a synapse 40mm wastegate. so in a few hours i hope to have pics up for all to see. this post is on tuners and 2gnt so let me know what u think (as soon as pics are up of course)

Looks nice. I am guessing that manifold is for Amit since that is exactly pretty much how his load out, design and all.

Looks great though, excellant craftsmanship as always from you.

Fuck, I cannot wait to get my tig fired up!

when ever somebody wants one........ they will vary slightly from this one cause the tubes will be pared differently but just note, this is a non a/c and p/s manifold according to amit.

I like the idea of using the long radius 90*s Mike.

Curious as to what you use to make the nice cuts on the 45's, I notice you slimmed a couple of them down.
105738, RE: 420a turbo manifold almost done.......

Im just hoping that the usps guy didnt body slam my jig before delivering it to mike.

i always use the long radius ones, ive never tried anything with the small radius bends but maybe i should get some for the future to try and use. as for cutting method......... i used a sawzall, chop saw and bad saw.

That should be my next investment, a decent band saw for metal cutting.

Look really nice! how much would a mani cost? T3 with a 38mm WG flange
and clearance for a/c and p/s
105746, RE: 420a turbo manifold almost done.......
Posted by AMM, Jan-29-09 10:13 PM
pricing is gonna be 700.00 shipped. i still gotta see what needs to be adjusted to fit the a/c and p/s though.

If you ran the wastegate on the other side, it should fit with ac and ps.

Any finished pics yet sir?

Yes it should fit but maybe a tad shorter and pointing downward a bit.

Also I noticed that the head flange has no space between ports, I think that should be added to leave a lil room for the thermal expansion of the material.

With the wastegate on the other side it wont clear a 3" downpipe. Here is a pic with my bojangles mounted to give you an idea. This new manifold should be pretty damn similar... atleast i hope lol
105750, RE: 420a turbo manifold almost done.......
Posted by PsychO, Jan-30-09 10:32 PM
Well, it's definitely going to look better.

I would like a manifold that helps situate the compressor wheel on the passenger side of the manifold as opposed to the drivers side.

Holy sweet jesus those welds are scary! lol.
105755, RE: 420a turbo manifold almost done.......
Posted by taclipse, Feb-01-09 08:20 PM
im suprised @ how well its been holding up. I tacked the manifold together and my neighbor welded it.... it was cheap lol
105756, RE: 420a turbo manifold almost done.......
Posted by AMM, Feb-01-09 10:17 PM
its done............










105757, RE: 420a turbo manifold almost done.......
Posted by barza21, Feb-02-09 12:44 AM
what would the fitment look like with a gt35r (.70 A/R)? will it fit good?? and what are the chances of getting one with divided exhaust flange??

Thanks

As usual, excellent work Mr Mike. She looks great. Now let's see fitment (um, whoever is putting this on - I forgot and don't feel like looking back, lol).
105759, RE: 420a turbo manifold almost done.......
Posted by taclipse, Feb-02-09 05:44 AM
I'm not too sure on a 35r.....the 3076r is a pretty tight fit as it is. I would go top mount with a 35r. I will post results on fitment as soon as it is in my hands. Mike- that looks great¡
105760, RE: 420a turbo manifold almost done.......

very nice work looking forward to seeing it all mounted up!
105762, RE: 420a turbo manifold almost done.......

i like topmounts personally, i should see about doing them instead of the bottom mount. what u guys think....... top or bottom mount?

Um......I'm a bottom guy, but I like to take it on the end too. Provided it fits :shrug

I guess that's the most important part

those welds are incredibly clean. Im seriously considering this if fitment is ok w/ a 35r
105783, RE: 420a turbo manifold almost done.......
Posted by Jungy, Feb-05-09 03:41 PM
I believe taclipse is running a gt3076r with the e cover on it so fitment w/ a 35r is just a matter of if the s cover on the 35r would have enough room to clear the radiator.
105784, RE: 420a turbo manifold almost done.......
Posted by taclipse, Feb-05-09 05:20 PM
I am running a gt3076r with the 4" inlet (antisurge housing) and 2.5" outlet. i belive it is an s cover.
105786, RE: 420a turbo manifold almost done.......
Posted by AMM, Feb-05-09 07:39 PM
then thats the same size as the "standard" 35r........ so i guess it will fit it. once welded up it was actually about 1/2" further back then the 3/16" i originally said so i hope thats not going to a be a problem. what was the clearnce from the block Amid?


mike
105801, RE: 420a turbo manifold almost done.......
Posted by taclipse, Feb-09-09 09:21 AM
when I ran a stock atx radiator I had about 3/4" clearance. Once i upgraded to the visteon is when i had an issue, I dont even have a 1/4" clearance with the radiator... thanks god for solid mounts! I have about 3/4"-1" clearance from the compressor housing to the starter. If fitment is on point people shouldnt have a problem running these with stock radiators.
