it seems that we are using the same material, what are you using for a diameter for your piping?

 

I am using 2" diameter piping.

So whats happening here? Mini group buy? guys?

 

I am up for doing it. It is upto you guys.

Anyone interested please e-mail me at hwmalik@***.net

 

poop... i guess nobody wants to do a mini group buy?? nobody wants a custom divided manifold?!?!?

 

hmm, I guess it depends on what kind of cost we're talking about here. I already have a new non-equal length divided (OBX) that I will be using to get me by until I can afford a better one. But of course as is the case w/ anything, if the price is right, why not? But it always depends on price...

 

well he can make it for $200ish and he wants to sell lower end manafolds for $400.. so how about $300??

 

That seems pretty reasonable -- esp. for an equal-length mani... If others are interested, I could probably handle something in that price range. Would definitely like to see more pics...

 

Count me In Simon. I sold my HKS undivided yesterday. So I'd like to learn more about exact specs, pics and GB prices.

 

Great, I just e-mail him so he'll post more information soon hehe

** Tony, how did that boost controller work out for you? I still have not installed the FD Alt. yet

 

Just so you guys can see what we can do and made for my car.

Please tell me exactly what you guys are looking to get and I will get you a price within a day.

Thanks

 

I might need to come and see you soon.

 

Sure.... just call me

 

OMG, I just looked at the pics, you are insane! The turbo is as big as the engine, no wonder you and Danny hang out.

 

Why would you want the turbo to be positioned that way?
Are the runners equal length?
Is this just a show or race vehicle?
You just added another 90° bend that wouldn't have been needed if it was placed like the stock turbo position.
The new position also shifts a lot of the turbo heat more forward and heats up the front of the engine more so?

The only advantage you gain is you make a little more space (for the dual WG's), and your turbo size is unlimited.

Not to be a smart a$$ but I don't think it is a show car, as far as heat I don't think it will be used as a daily driver either, that car seems to have one purpose, to annihilate anything else next to it at the light tree. Plus they obviously wanted the space for dual wastegates and turbo flexibilty, looks like a very easy to work on setup to me, and heat can always be taken care of with wrap and shields.

 

The other thing I forgot to mention is how close the downpipe gets to the shock tower.  Maybe it's just an illusion from the dig pic?  If it is that close, it almost necessitates stiff engine mounts to keep the engine from rocking side-to-side.  That's a serious turbo that's going to make some serious torque!

From what a local guy told me they are using solid metal mounts, stock rubber mounts would snap pretty fast in that car.

 

Ah, I just looked at your location (NO), that explains a lot.

I guess their execution on a turbo exhaust system is a little different that what I would run.

In fact, we're going to start running twin turbos on several motors and get away from the big single.  If we can keep the turbos on the side of the engine, we see no need to relocate them radically (in the front) as in the pics above.

Those pics remind of the the GN turbo set-up though...


-Ted

 

I have actually never seen that car but plan to go over there soon and see what's up.

 

turbo-rotary, Interesting work you (guys?) are doing up there. Do you have pics of conventional Divided Manifolds? I love the last 2 pics you posted. I'm In that mess myself.

 

I'm interested to see pics and price ranges on this.

 

The runners are exactly equal length and are about 20" long and it does allow me to run a bigger turbo. And it is not a show car but being built as a race car. The car has already dynoed 447 rwhp on that turbo. There is only one extra bend compared to my old setup. Since we make our own manifolds it is worth a shot to see how well it works...

 

I am running solid motor mounts so that is not that much of an issue. But there is about an inch betweeen the DP and the shock tower.

And yes hopefully it will make some numbers.

 

I have been looking to do that. I think we will be doing a twin setup on Tony Farkas' car soon.

Thanks
