I will be finishing up one of our new manifolds tommorow. I will try to get a picture of it to show you guys our new design. They are made out of stainless steel pipes, thick flanges, and with any style wastegate flange. The are good for well over 600hp, here is a pic of our old design, sorry for the quality of the pics but they are rather old. Just to give you an idea of how they are designed. Since then we've change the design slightly, the wastegate plumbing has been changed from a 90ing out of the pipe, shown in pic, to a 45 degree angle in the opposite direction of flow, much better for flow, and higher hp use. Ill try to get a new pic for the lack of quality of the old pics, and the change in design...Ohh yes, and Haltechs are around $1300 complete, if you are interested i can get you a final price. Thanks

A miracle.
Well, let's see, I just found one for my brother for less than $12k. In great shape. Oh, ya it had a V8 Chevy in it.
But let's be serious here. Buy one that is already at 400hp. Let the other guy take the bath financially. Lot's of them out there if you look hard enough.

To me that is just wrong. Flame on but i hate it when people are just asking for opinions and they get critisized

One customer's input
Well, I'll agree that the manifold looks pretty good other than the excess welds that had to be dremeled away. I'm speaking from experience since I just got one from Chris. (It took a lot longer than I exected, but it DID arrive)
His downpipes aren't pretty, and they don't fit all that well (mine didn't anyway), but they do seem to be pretty solidly built.
The adapter plate that he welds onto the turbo so the downpipe will bolt up looks like it's steel. The problem I had is that it snaped right off due to a weak weld when I tried to install the downpipe.
His intake manifold looks sweet as hell with the Trust bosses welded to it. I'm definitely impressed with that! A very finished looking product.
I'm not looking to slam Chris' business venture just yet, I'm just pointing out the good and bad points of what I experienced.
Hope this helps

Honestly, If you want that much power you'd do better putting a ford 302 or a chevy 350 in the car. You'd save yourself alot of money and the car would be much more reliable at that power, generally speaking.
Just an option, even though many don't like to hear V8 and RX-7 in the same sentence.
My advice,
Get a Rx-7 and fix it up nice and take care of it. These beauties are not so common anymore, and the few i see are pretty ragged out.
Be good to it, and it will be good to you.
Second of all, best get an RX-7 before thinking about all these sick mods you want to do with it. You just might like the car the way it is.
later.

Hey Initial D FC, how much for a nice FMIC kit for my turbo 2? I have a relocated battery, so pipes are less of a problem than usual. I have the stock turbo making 10 lbs right now with a gforce computer and 660cc secondaries.
I'd want an IC that's big enough to keep using if I went with an aftermarket turbo later on...
