I got a SWEET Turbo!
 
Hey guys, check out my new turbo.

Now all I need is a manifold and wastegate. Will this one for an FD fit on my 13bt? It looks damn nice for that price.

I cant wait!

It looks nice but perhaps you should have done your research before buying it.

That FD one should fit, provided you have a downpipe, and wastegate to support it. Not to mention the clearance issues between the manifold and the LIM

How about this one...

Not sure if the FD one will fit or not. This one is like $500 from thunderfabrications.com you can also get a 3" mandrel bent dp with it for an additional $150. It's a bit pricey, but it is all mandrel bends.

That's the dp, you can find them at www.thunderfabrications.com

The fd one will fit, but the turbo will hit the LIM. You could try stacking a spare exhaust flange onto the housings (putting in longer studs, obviously) and a second gasket to give you more room to play with. I think it only needs another 3/8 clearance.

Sweet, what are you talking about that I should have done my research. That is perfect for a monster street rx7. Boost will come on quick and wont bleed off too badly. Let me know what else I should have gotten. I was thinking a to4e but I wanted faster spool time.

That manifold is NOT worth 500 bones. I could probably make something similar for under 100.

ya, my cousin does that for a living, hed be rich if he could get 500 bux fer one of those. . . .and I would be rich as well.

And plus, I want a divided manifold. That one looks pretty shitty to me actually. I mean its not much better than something I could fab up. Certainly not as nice as the ones on ebay selling for 275 bin.

i'm planning build my own manifold, none of the stainless stuff though, just mild steel. Right now i'm learning how to weld from my brother. I'll post some pics up when i get it started.

chris_stampe 06-01-03 04:27 PM

Sweet, I got a guy that can fab up anything, we'll see how he does. Ill post pics too.

astrochild7 06-01-03 09:31 PM

I can build them out of stainless, the only way to go
