custom fabrication in southern cali needed!!

not so much rx7 related but i im desperate need of a topmount manifold for my other car, the market for turbo stuff on this car is just superslow and im looking for a place to build a topmount manifold


anybody know of any shops that might be willing to step up to the plate and build me something!!!

nothing too fancy just something tubular and retain the ac compressor, this will be goin on the 99m3 heeeeelp

I wouldn't mind a bottom mount if the price is right,theres only 2 tubular manifolds in production for my car



only thing is with a bottom mount its more expensive,I need a scavenge pump, I have to route my charge pipe over the subframe ($$) longer filter piping and make a new motor mount to make the piping clear


I don't have too much room to work with and the manifold I ordered is backed up for months....

the only tubular manifolds out there are

-boostlogic...almost 2k and still bottom mount (the boost logic tech that started making them wil be workin on the motor build itself in san diego,extreme motorsports)

-666 fab,$1300 and still bottom mount,there in CT

-then I found someone making them in chicago, but I was told a month wait and now its 2 or maybe 3 months...coated for about 900-1000 depending on the coating of course

pleeeease pm me your number,ill call u asap!! I'm on my cell phone so I can't pm,but I can read them an respond....just not initialize one


the car wil be in san diego anyways so this might work...I'm also guna need a downpipe and charge pipe...nothing to fancy tho...I don't have too much to spend and trying to get 6 runners to equal length or somethin in my engine bay....oh and if its successful I garuantee if you make a jig to reproduce them they will sell quick...hoping for 650whp on pump and meth

let me kno!!

Okay sounds good let me talk to my brother and go over the details with him. We currently have three cars that will be knocked out by the end of this week after that were good. I will pm my number to you later tonight if that is okay with you?

Just a quick question your only looking for the upper half of the manifold correct? tubular with equal length runners. Will this retain the stock location fuel injectors?
