1st gen Turbo manifold pics

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...hreadid=253397


Just got the manifold done and it was a tight fit, but should work good. Weve found a better spot for the wastegate and will be making another manifold with the new position of the wastegate.

Well, i was told the manifold is duplicate of a cast HKS. Im not sure but however, it was for a 2nd gen turbo so the wastegate was hitting the idlerarm. We (turbocentre) moved it to the front between the lower radiator hose and the lower htr pipe. John(owner of TurboCentre) is looking to make another manifold but move the wastegate location to where the smogpump would have been. John has got the jig setup and another one is under contruction. I dont know how much hes going to charge, hes very understanding in that you cant charge people for developement, otherwise the manifold would be priceless since no one makes one for a 1st gen. Ill definately keep all of you posted and it should be ready in aweek or so.

thanks
mike

gregs, it wont be up to me on how much but i will try and have john(turbocentre) keep the price resonable. He has a S5 turbo at his shop also so making the flange wouldnt be to hard.

I'd be interested in a mani that doesn't hit the idler are for my GSL with S4 13bt. Currnently running stock turbo but I have the hks manifold ready for my 60-1.
