ah gotcha...didnt think about that one, even though it was quite obvious

Thanks to everyone for the compliments, for right now, I think I will sell just kits, except to those who initally purchased the kits from me, I feel I owe them something if they are interested in a upgraded set up I will work something out for them, I just don't want to get caught up selling just manifolds and DP's
I would prefer to offer complete packages.
I'm not sure what wastgate I will stick on it yet, but I'm leanig torwards Tial/HKS. I may just stick with the progates, I'm not sure.

You're thinking RHD?

In europe, only a couple of remote, isolated islands use RHD cars, the rest of us have LHD cars just like in the US.

I'm hoping to be one of if not THE first to pick one of these new kits up.

Sean, when would the first few be available? I'm looking within maybe 6-8 weeks.

TURBOTIME

Sean you mentioned that Garrett has another turbo one size up from the 3540 comming soon. What size is it ? and you will have a manifold for it ?

A-Spec Tuning

The new turbo is a garrett GT40R it should also work on this manifold if all goes well.

teamstealth

nebogy got the specs on the GT40R? spool-up time, potential HP?

A-Spec Tuning

The exhaust and compressor wheels are about 9mm and 6mm larger than 35/40 and it uses a TO4 flange.

Ball bearing? Divided ex. housing?

A-Spec Tuning

Both,unless they lied to me

-Sean

Sweet..

So you'll make a divided version of the manifold then? Putting a divided housing turbine on the manifold pictured in this thread would be wasting valuable spool-up, don't you think?

teamstealth

newb ?...divided housing means what and the advantages to it is ___?

I want to dip my ***** in it!

How about posting pictures of the original manifold so that we may see the difference.

mks

Divided housing means that there are two passages for exhaust gas into the turbine housing of the turbo. It allows you to take advantage of the pulsating characteristics of exhaust flow. On a 2-rotor rotary, it's as easy as keeping a the pipes from the exhaust ports on the engine separated all the way to the flange you bolt the turbo to. The pulses hitting the turbine wheel in a divided setup will spool the turbo faster than the even flow caused by joining the primaries in the manifold. The manifold at the top of this thread has joined primaries, which makes sense for the GT35/40 turbo since it has a non-divided T3 exhaust housing.

mks

Oh, and the combination of a divided housing, a well designed tubular manifold and a ball bearing turbo should make for excellent spool-up even on a larger turbo.

A-Spec Tuning

It will be made divided for those that want the GT40R it will be undivided for those that want the 35/40.Hope that clears it all up.

Sounds terrific
