this manifold was veryyyyy hard to come by and i've only seen one other one in the past 10 years that i've been looking for it
RE-Amemiya doesn't produce them anymore, and there only a couple floating around
if you really want to go this route, your best bet is to have a good fabricator build you something from scratch...realistically its only 2 pipes and its really simple to do
i'm a ***** for JDM parts thats why i actually bought it loll

all i can really tell you is that the runners to each turbo from the engine block must be equal length
and the runners that come off the manifold to each waste gate must be equal length as well
and make sure...MAKE SURE...you don't use anything less than schedule 10, 304 SUS stainless steel
anything less than that, and the manifold won't last under the ridiculous heat of our lovely rotary engines.
if possible, find out if the stainless if coming from Canada or Japan
when building our IS-F exhaust systems, we found out that the stainless coming from Japan has different properties within the metal that actually gives it the tendency to change back to regular steel when welded
the canadian stainless steel is of much better quality
everything else is pretty much just moving stuff around to make it all fit

thanks simon! i'll be running the Power FC
heres an update from today
El Papa, thats our welders name, has been working on putting together the waste gate positions
also the mock up turbo flanges, the final ones will be from 304 SS
also got some of the 4" piping and the V-band for the exhaust system...check out the difference between the 3" vs. 4"!!

went with the MSD for 2 reasons:
1) the MSD 6AL-2 compared to the HKS, specs wise, sparks harder
2) the MSD 6AL-2 has a built in 2-Step Launch Control system thats super easy to install and use
MORE UPDATES!!
almost done with the downpipes...just gota build the transition from the 2 turbo down pipes into the 4" pipe that goes to the V-Band that hooks up to the rest of the exhaust
wow what a sentence lol
also i held up the waste gates to where they will be mounted to show how the setup will look

the 2step wasn't the actual reason i bought the 6al-2
unlike the original 6al that was a large box and was an analog system
the 6al-2 is a fully digital unit in a more compact design
honestly...and believe me i know it sounds childish and w.e.
the 2-step is just really freaking cool loll
