Okay, I've decided I need to buy a decent (but affordable) manifold for my 60-1 swap on my RE powered vert.

Who are the recommended fabricators/retailers for manifolds? I'm looking for a fully divided manifold with a Tial 40mm style WG flange on it. I actually have a WG flange, so I could always get that welded on if necessary.

Honestly, I'm looking to stay in the $500 area (or less) if possible. That may be ambitious, but at the moment I'm just trying to figure out my options. If I can't find something in that price range then I might just mock one up myself and have it professionally welded...

thoughts??
ideas??
smart a$$ remarks??

Thanks!!

 

I have a hks cast manifold,its the workhorse of the industry. Works awesome with my 60-1 i also have the hks standard wastegate good stuff rx7store.net cheers.

Yeah, but like I said, I've already got the Tial WG and would like to stick with it. And unless you fab some kind of adapter (or find one), the Tial won't match up to the HKS cast.

I know a lot of folks are using it and are very happy with it -- I'm not completely eliminating it as an option, but it's down on the list some. I'd like to go with a fully divided tubular for the better flow/spool characteristics.

 

No other suggestions?

What's everyone running these days besides HKS cast and SSAC?

Did everyone just build their own?

 

HKS cast turbo manifolds are discountinued...

I bought a used GReddy turbo manifold off of ebay, and it seems bulletproof. (i've never seen a HKS manifold in person so I can't compare) But the manifold seems to be extremely well made with thick walls.

 

Try A-Spec

 

agreed

 

We also make turbo manifolds. We only use 321SS however, which is reflected in the price.

 

Yep, got a quote from Sean just today!

 

Any other suggestions? I feel like I'm striking out a bit here... Who else sells tubular manifolds at a reasonable price? Or did everyone just make their own around here?

 

Gotham's mani is awesome and the HKS tubular is good too, but they ain't cheap. At your price point I would suggest looking for a used mani.

 

+1 for A-Spec. I've used them and love them. The Turblown's also look nice though I have not used one.

 

I have a greddy for 600 if you are interested. new

 

just go with an ssac fd manifold and cut the wastegate flange off and weld yours on. Problem solved and it's cheap and divided

 

Yeah, I sort of hate to admit it, but I've got one already that I've been using for fitmet of everything else and I might just do that to get me on the road and then drop the big bucks later... :/

 

Gothom, A-Spec, Alien Auto. Those are the only people that come to mind along with others who posted here. As for under $500.00, I doubt it. You can also get any HKS or GReedy tubular manifold used from forum members or eBay if your patient and don't mind spending a half hour or hour a day searching and PM'ing people. Last option, make one your self, or cut and mock it up and get a welding shop to finish it off.
