this thread is useless when someone tries to look up ssautochrome manifold all they going to read up is bla bla bla bal and bla when theres some members in the forum running them

and doing awsome horsepower and performance so everyone is entitled to their own opinion now do i think the company is bullshit ....yes i do.... but if it works hell good for u if u dont have one and u still running on stock please dont put negative post

karack simply asked whos running them not who hates them now please sut this thread down because its worthless now

im running the fd mani on a fc. i used one RB headder flange as a spacer. I had to get longer studs.

I ran the fd one because its a divided manifold and im running a divided 1.00 a/r hot side. I read the divided manifold would help spool and also didnt like hot the divided hot side mated up to a open flang manifold.

The hot side will hit the LIM without the spacer. with the spacer it has almost 1 inch of clearance. Im shopping for turbo blankets now and plan to heat wrap my DP asap to help keep the heat off the LIM. might work out a heat shield too... just depends on how it turns out.

Here are a few pics of my setup from install and right after... ill take a few more from a better angle...





ill take some more pics from the other angle tomarrow... and a few next time i pull my dp.

you are the man sleeperfc so how is it working because if its good and no problems if you can tell me what i need so i can run the same setup as you and where did you get it or a pic of the mani once again you can pm me or send to mazdatrix7@yahoo.com

sleeperfc

ill take some more pics tomarrow.

the bolt holes for the WG didnt line up right so i had to drill them out a little.

getting longer studs might be hard i dunno.. there is a place in town called "metric fastners" they have everything metric.

the RB spacer is like $12 or something.... you will need to figure out what you plan to do about gaskets.. they are like $35 from mazda and you would need two of them. I reused the stock one and got one new one.

It seems you can fit what ever turbo on it... im running a master power t70 and there is room for bigger before the cold side would hit anything.

awsome so it is a ssac turbo manifold right

sleeperfc

is ther any way u think u could get buy one do your exact set up and sell it to me

turd muffin? LMAO
the only homework you've done is trying to recycle what other people have said. so you think you could do better than a piece of **** like that?

PROVE IT!!!

let's see what you've done... don't forget to use your mig-tig...errr uhh, you don't know what either are and can't tell the difference between them anyway. so here's one chance to prove you're anything besides a useless **** talker.

let's see what you've done.

GUITARJUNKIE28

if you guys don't wanna mess with pulling the studs, you can always cut the pipes most of the way, then just bent the whole unit over a little bit and fill the small void in with weld...or cut the pipes at an angle so it's flush and weld it back.

i migged mine and it turned out just fine, but a tig would definately be preferrable if you have the means.

GUITARJUNKIE28

i don't think there even is a "pro" group...more like people just stating fact.

but one thing is true.. the people who have them and have used them have posted facts. the people who haven't have posted empty **** talking and speculation. if you say it's gonna crack, fine...i'm just waiting to see it happen.

people are getting angry because other people are having good success with them. ****, i beat on the old style one with a turbo bridgeport and never had a problem...and the newer ones have pipes and flanges twice as thick!

as far as their customer service is concerned, my buddy with a sr20 swap in a 240 had some sort of a problem with his..warped flange i think, and the guy sent him a new one BEFORE he sent the old one back. i've never had a problem that needed direct customer service, so second hand info is the best i can give on that...but it's still better than speculation.

GUITARJUNKIE28

well, that shut him up pretty damn quick

i dont have to prove myself to you, mainly because theirs nothing to prove. im right, your wrong. simple as that.

i could care less. go ahead and get the shitty ssac manifold if i care, but dont expect any simpathy when it fails.

well just got updated. they are pulling their current designes because it seems its prone to failure ( who would have guessed?) some of my buddys are getting some beta testing manifolds, and so far, one has failed in one night of street racing. the series 3 i believe ( the one with the bracing ) we got was already cracked in the mail, the flange was warped, and the angle was very bad where the turbo mounted up.

i guess yall will want picture too? you clowns.
even though there is overwhelming proof that his manifolds are crap, yall seem to have skulls made of cement.

GUITARJUNKIE28

so let me translate through that bullshit...you don't know what you're talking about, don't know what you'e doing, have NEVER made a manifold before, AND you don't know how to spell.

if i were you, trying to convince people i had half a brain, i'd at least spell sympathy correctly.

now stop showing off your 2-digit iq.

ugh, i'm still hoping to find more people who have used them on their FCs but i still keep seeing yadda yadda my buddy's honduh, yadda yadda...

i don't want to see the topic closed i want to see people full of themselves get off of my thread.

When I go home, I'll take pictures of the manifolds for the Honda, why would I lie? Wouldn't I want an inexpensive performance product?

RotaryEvolution

mods, you can close this **** now, i don't think i'm going to get anything more relevant from this thread.

GUITARJUNKIE28

sorry... i just get pissed when i see ignorant people talking out of their asses. couldn't restain myself.

i'm sure there is some validity to some of the others posts but few it seems can read the initial post of the thread. this is about RX7 manifolds not honduhs, toyotas or anything else.

thanks to those who shared their own RX7 experiences, those who shared their "other" car line experiences can please try to learn to read. parts prone to problems on some car lines may not experience the same problems on a different car line.

*pokes with stick*

I'm going to reserve my comments on these manifolds to avoid getting **** on by either of the two extremist groups in this thread. Doesn't seem like there's anyone in between, save maybe the guitar-strumming mechanic.

If anyone cares for my opinion, from someone who has held one of these manifolds himself, and seen how they perform on an FC, PM me.

yay!


finally a thread that has warmed up my evil side.

GUITARJUNKIE28

a typo isn't the same thing as a spelling error. but my bad, anyway.

i dunno if i'm even in between... i've seen one of the older ones crack, but the motor was very poorly tuned, egt's were way the hell too hot, and it was beat on with a serious misfire...that'd kill just about any manifold.

i posted a thread about these manifolds in the 3rd gen section a while back and not one person posted a pic of a busted one... everyone was like well..errr uhh yea, a friend of a friend said he cracked one maybe.... but no proof.

the cracked on i have at my place is the only fd manifold i've ever seen crack. not saying it's the only one, just the only one i've seen.
